The Norrona Men's Lyngen Alpha100 Zip Hood is meticulously engineered for ski touring and other high-intensity outdoor activities, where breathability and thermal efficiency are paramount. This lightweight insulated jacket offers exceptional performance, balancing warmth and breathability for both active and less strenuous phases of your adventure.
Constructed with a lightweight double-weave recycled nylon aero100 fabric, this jacket provides an optimal blend of low weight, breathability, and wind protection. The 20D ripstop quality enhances its durability, while the PFC-free DWR treatment offers additional water resistance. The fabric’s subtle stretch supports enhanced mobility, ensuring unimpeded movement during dynamic activities.
The Lyngen Alpha100 Zip Hood is lined with advanced Polartec® Alpha® insulation, renowned for its ability to provide consistent warmth while continuously releasing excess body heat. This breathable insulation adapts to varying activity levels, ensuring comfort during both intense exertion and periods of rest. The jacket employs a body-mapped insulation strategy, utilizing two different Polartec® Alpha® qualities: Polartec® Alpha® 90 (90 g/m2) for the body and Polartec® Alpha® 120 (120 g/m2) for the shoulder area. This differential insulation approach maximizes warmth and durability, particularly in areas subject to compression from backpack straps.
Key technical features include hand pockets and a chest pocket with secure zipper closures, a helmet-compatible hood with one-hand adjustment and a stiffer brim for enhanced wind protection, and an inner placket designed to eliminate cold spots. The elastic bottom hem and articulated Y-cut with articulated elbows ensure a technical fit that promotes freedom of movement, essential for alpine activities.
