Inferior In Too Many Aspects

by Phish412, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on December 27, 2023
If jacket cost under $150 then it would get 5 stars! But it retails for over $400 and just falls well short of warranting such a price. It’s also inferior to many other jackets in its price range. For the majority of this review I’ll be comparing to my Arc’teryx Thorium mainly because it’s around the same price and made by a reputable company that also produces premium products. So the following will be in relation to it and in comparison to it. The down isn’t lofty at all, the jacket just isn’t puffy. The exterior just feels and, I hate to say, also looks cheap. The color doesn’t look anything like the pictures (I wish I could upload pics but I can’t here). Instead of a dark navy it’s a lighter brighter blue which I personally don’t like. I’ve had many many down jackets, this my first Norrona, and I couldn’t be more disappointed. It just doesn’t look and feel like a premium quality jacket worthy of a price point anywhere near its retail price. There’s just too many, like dozens, of other products that costs the same or less that crush this jacket in every regard. Serious fail on Norrona’s part.
Pros:
  • Fit is good
Cons:
  • No loft
  • cheap exterior
  • looks cheap
  • color way different in pictures
  • way too expensive
Would recommend: No
