{"product_id":"norrona-mens-lofoten-gore-tex-insulated-jacket-1019-24-26-27","title":"Norrøna Men's lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket 26\/27","description":"\u003cp\u003eA lofoten shell with the insulation already built in, for people who run cold or ski resort days more than they tour. GORE-TEX weather protection on the outside, synthetic insulation on the inside, so you get storm-worthy protection without stacking a puffy under a shell and dealing with the bulk where the two meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is honest and worth stating plainly. An insulated jacket is less versatile than a shell plus separate layers, because you can't remove the warmth when spring arrives. It's also warmer, simpler and less fussy on a chairlift at ten below, and it's one zipper instead of three layers to manage at every transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSynthetic insulation rather than down, which is the right call for a ski jacket. Down loses its loft when it gets wet and a ski jacket gets wet, whether from snow, sweat or a spring afternoon. Synthetic keeps working damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your skiing is mostly lift-served in Vermont cold, this is the more comfortable choice and we say so regularly. If you tour at all, buy the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norrøna","offers":[{"title":"Baked Apple \/ M","offer_id":49556775174382,"sku":"7042698600714","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Baked Apple \/ L","offer_id":49556775207150,"sku":"7042698600707","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Baked Apple \/ XL","offer_id":49556775239918,"sku":"7042698600738","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/9955\/9918\/files\/1019-24-5665-packshot-f.png?v=1788963346","url":"https:\/\/mountainopsvt.com\/products\/norrona-mens-lofoten-gore-tex-insulated-jacket-1019-24-26-27","provider":"Mountain Ops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
