The Norrona Men's More Octa Zip Hood is a versatile hybrid fleece designed for freeride and touring, making it ideal for all kinds of outdoor adventures, including skiing, snowboarding, mountaineering, and general outdoor activities.
Norrona has integrated Octa insulation into the front and top of the arms for superior moisture management, warmth, and breathability. The use of aero200 fabric in wind-exposed areas provides additional wind resistance without compromising on breathability. The warm1 fleece in the sides, hood, back, and underarms ensures insulation, breathability, and flexibility, delivering comfort and performance in varying conditions.
The Octa insulation is composed of 100% recycled polyester, providing an environmentally friendly approach to warmth. The aero200 fabric, made from 100% recycled nylon, offers lightweight wind protection. The warm1 fleece is a blend of 70% recycled polyester and 30% polyester, ensuring stretch and comfort.
