What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"These pants are as burly as it gets. The GORE-TEX Pro fabric feels indestructible, the reinforcement around the ankles is clutch for edge protection, and the venting keeps me from overheating on hikes. They’re my go-to for storm days and big mountain freeride."Purpose-built for the harshest freeride conditions, the Norrøna lofoten GORE-TEX Pro Plus Pants combine uncompromising durability with a full suite of technical features. Using 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro fabric, they guarantee waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. Reinforced with Vectran at the inside ankles, these pants are made to withstand sharp ski edges, crampons, and seasons of heavy use. Designed with freeride functionality in mind, the pants feature X-open inside thigh vents with mesh and a high back waistband. Snow gaiters, taped seams with thin GORE-TEX tape, and integrated snap-in compatibility with powderskirts provide complete storm protection. Thoughtful storage is provided by zippered hand pockets, a tool pocket, and a thigh pocket with a dedicated phone sleeve.
