This is a very high quality jacket, you can tell as soon as you put it on. The wrist cuffs are great as well. Two things to note: The blue (at least on the charcoal model) is quite a bit brighter than in the picture. The jacket seems to run small (6' 180 lbs and large was a bit small for me) otherwise sick jacket, I can't wait to get it in XL.

Got this as skiing jacket, but was soon wearing as my go to winter jacket (over -10C), long neck and wrist warmers are great for securing that no wind get in! Soft and flexible! It has a tight fit, but you are not suppose to wear big sweaters under it, if you want to do that, go one size up! Plugs right into the Stranda pants giving you the option of almost a one-piece suit. I would have liked just one more pocket, but overall very happy with this!

This jacket is fantastic. It is warm, highly waterproof, comfortable, stretchy and the hood is the best helmet compatible piece I have ever used. The iPod pocket is intuitive and functional and allows for easy manipulation of your music on the lift or even during a quick stop during your descent. The stretch panels on the arm and around the back allow for ease of movement and full body motion without wrapping the whole jacket around you in the process. The styling on the Blue Jewel colorway is sick too! I always get compliments on the piece and the color. It has steeze without being ridiculous. The color on the Blue Jewel is more of a teal than shown here on the site. The hand warmer pockets are satin lined and excellent. This piece has the removable pow skirt and it also comes with the well designed jacket-to-pants zip-in interface which essentially turns this jacket into a one piece with corresponding Norrona pants. As soon as the mercury drops this is the piece I inevitably go to time and time again. Norrona is pure bad-ass and this piece is no exception. I would give it six stars if i could....

The Velcro that comes on the wrists is grey not black like it is shown.

amazing in its overall functionality and in the little details. when I first got it I put the hood up and was like WTF its huge! then I found the compression cords which gave a tight fit around my head. Another great feature is the velcro on the edges of the hood that can strap into the neck gaiter and give you a seamless connection between your hood and your front neck/chin. Another nice little detail : the breast pocket opens out to display a pass (if u are a season pass kinda person). The inside pocket has a clipped in microfiber cloth for your goggles or shades. The inside of the neck area is soft so you dont need to wear a gaiter. And best of all is its easy movement and breathability. I live in NYC and I've been wearing it on my dawn bike rides in 15 degree weather, with just a base layer and an R1 fleece. Cant wait to use it on the mountain.Size wise, I'm 5'8" and 145 lbs, 38 Regular. The medium fits fine, in fact, a little bit baggy but I imagine the small would have been a little bit too small.Thanks BC.com! by the way... it says in the description there is no wrist gaiter, but this jacket does have non-removable wrist gaiters.

Norrøna has years and years of experience making outerwear for ridiculously harsh places like the North Pole, so you can bet the farm that it has the clout to make a killer bike jacket. When the rain clouds gather, you’ll find confident in the fact that you remembered to bring your Norrøna jacket.
