What is the Norrona Women's Trollveggen Superlight Down800 Hooded Jacket?
Embrace the outdoors with the Norrona Women's Trollveggen Superlight Down800 hooded jacket. It is Norrona's lightest and most packable insulation, perfect for mountaineering but versatile enough for all seasons. This jacket offers excellent insulation and weather protection, making it ideal as both a mid-layer and an outer layer.
What is it made of?
The Norrona Trollveggen Superlight Down800 Jacket is made of high-quality materials that provide great performance.
Norrona uses a lightweight aeroDownproof face fabric made from 100% recycled 10D nylon, weighing 28g/m². This fabric offers excellent weather protection, combining lightweight durability with a soft touch.
For insulation, they use RDS-certified 800+ fill power 90/10 duck down, which consists of 90% down and 10% feathers. This down provides great packability and an excellent insulation-to-weight ratio, ensuring maximum warmth without unnecessary bulk.
The RDS certification ensures ethical standards are met, meaning the down is obtained without causing unnecessary harm to the birds. These standards include avoiding inhumane practices such as live plucking, where feathers are painfully removed from live birds, and force-feeding, a method used in the production of foie gras that involves forcibly feeding birds to enlarge their livers.
Certifications like the Responsible Down (RDS) guarantee that the down comes from suppliers who treat birds humanely, provide proper living conditions and implement ethical handling practices.
Additionally, the down is treated with PFC-free chemicals to make it water-repellent, minimising water absorption and allowing for quicker drying times. This treatment helps maintain the down's insulating properties in damp conditions.
The jacket also features a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which enhances its water resistance. This treatment allows water to bead up and roll off the jacket's surface, keeping you drier in wet conditions.
By avoiding the use of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), the jacket achieves water repellence without relying on chemicals that can persist in the environment.
Furthermore, the fabric is Bluesign-certified, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for safe production by eliminating harmful substances from manufacturing.
What are its features?
The Norrona Trollveggen Superlight Down800 Jacket is packed with practical features designed for outdoor use, making it an excellent choice for various adventures. It includes two hand-warming pockets, which provide a convenient place that helps to keep your hands warm in cold conditions. These pockets also ensure easy access to essential items while on the go.
The high protective collar and adjustable hood offer additional protection against harsh weather conditions such as wind and snow, helping to keep your neck and head shielded from the elements.
Thanks to the elastic cuffs and bottom hem, the jacket ensures a snug fit. This helps keep cold air out and retain body heat, enhancing overall warmth and comfort.
The asymmetric longer back cut provides extra coverage and protection for your lower back, which is particularly useful when bending or sitting.
An exterior hang loop makes it easy to hang and store the jacket when not in use, keeping it handy and ready for your next adventure. The jacket has a technical fit, designed to fit well without being too tight or restrictive, providing freedom of movement during various activities.
Its lightweight design ensures that you can carry it along on any adventure without being weighed down, and it is highly packable, making it easy to compress and store in your backpack when not in use.
