Norrona doesn’t “shrink and pink” or downgrade the quality of their women’s line. They assume you demand the same original, durable, waterproof, iconic Norrona Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro.. in a Women's Pant with a feminine fit. These shells are built for big mountain freerides, backcountry tours, and exceptional performance with premium GORE-TEX® PRO, the world leader in windproof, waterproof (28,000mm), and optimal breathability. If you’re out there in all weather, any day, every day, this is an extremely durable 3-layer 200D GORE-TEX® PRO (RET 6-9) fabric with a recycled face fabric and 200D Vectran fabric at the lower leg and knees for added protection in the wear zones. Tailored with articulation and a relaxed fit for easy motion and layering, even the waistline has been specially tailored to prevent gaps by having the front zip slightly facing to one side to create a small overlap, creating a complete seal all the way around. Pair with Norrona’s jackets with snap in powder skirts, or add the zip in bib solution if you want suspenders, these are designed to keep you dry in weather from waist to ankle. Tremendous, ¾ length, vents on the sides give these extra range by allowing you to go wide open on a climb, and there are pockets for everything.. from your cell phone to a pass card to a tool kit. At your ankles snaps adjust the cuff to fit a variety of boots, and, of course, inner boot gaiters keep the snow and cold from flying upward. A pant designed for rugged use in mountain country whether you’re taking a lift to the top or hucking into the backcountry under your own steam, this amazing shell is built to get you where you want to go.
