The Norrøna Lyngen dri2 thermo60 Jacket is a versatile, lightweight, and warm insulated jacket designed to excel in a variety of outdoor activities, particularly hiking.
Standout Features: This jacket boasts exceptional windproof and waterproof capabilities (20,000mm water column), making it a reliable choice in inclement weather. Despite its robust protection, it's remarkably lightweight and packable, making it an ideal travel companion. The insulation provides surprising warmth for its thin profile, often described as a "thin waterproof puffer jacket" that's quieter than traditional Gore-Tex. Many users appreciate the vibrant color options for visibility and the well-fitting hood that accommodates ski or bike helmets. The jacket also features a longer cut, providing extra warmth for the back and glutes.
Common Use-Cases: While highly versatile, the most frequently mentioned activity for this jacket is hiking, where its windproof, waterproof, and insulating properties are consistently praised. It's also a popular choice for skiing (both lift-based and as an outer layer), walking the dog, camping, and even cycling to work. Its ability to serve as an extra layer or a standalone jacket makes it suitable for a wide range of temperatures and conditions, from cold evenings to rainy spring and autumn days.
Fit and Comfort Level: The jacket is generally described as soft, comfortable, and easy to move in. Many reviewers highlight its excellent fit, with some noting it's "true to size" while others found it to run "large" or "roomy," allowing for comfortable layering underneath. For example, one 5'8" reviewer found a medium perfect after a large was too big, while another 5'6", 122lb reviewer found a small allowed for plenty of layers. The longer body and sleeve length are also frequently appreciated.
Criticisms and Areas for Improvement: The primary criticism revolves around sizing, with some users finding it runs large, necessitating a size down from their usual Norrøna size. Conversely, one reviewer mentioned it runs "a bit small" and had to size up. This inconsistency suggests potential variations in fit or individual preferences, making it advisable to consult a size guide or try it on if possible.
Recommendation: The Norrøna Lyngen dri2 thermo60 Jacket is highly recommended for active individuals who prioritize lightweight, packable, and versatile weather protection, especially for hiking and other outdoor pursuits where wind, rain, and cold can be a factor. It's ideal for those who "get cold easily" but also appreciate the ability to layer effectively without overheating. This jacket is perfect for someone seeking a reliable, comfortable, and stylish outer layer that can adapt to various conditions and activities, from a casual dog walk to a challenging mountain hike.
