Review Summary
Updated December 8, 2023

The Norrøna Arktis Gore-Tex Pro Jacket is a high-end, technical jacket designed for use in extreme winter conditions. It is made with a 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro fabric that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable. The jacket has a number of features that make it ideal for winter use, including a removable hood, a snow skirt, and plenty of pockets.

The Arktis jacket is best suited for activities that involve being in cold, wet, and windy conditions for extended periods of time, such as skiing, snowboarding, and mountaineering. It is also a good choice for everyday wear in cold climates.

The jacket is comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time. It is also very durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear.

Some of the criticisms of the Arktis jacket include the fact that it is expensive and that it can be a bit bulky. However, most people who have purchased the jacket are very happy with it and would recommend it to others.

Overall, the Norrøna Arktis Gore-Tex Pro Jacket is a high-quality, technical jacket that is ideal for use in extreme winter conditions. It is comfortable to wear, durable, and has a number of features that make it ideal for winter use. I would highly recommend this jacket to anyone who is looking for a top-of-the-line winter jacket.

Haven't tried this in the winter yet, but I don't expect it to behave different than other kind of jackets with the same fabric. What's important here is that it seems to be suited for real winter conditions- wide fit, secondary closing in front, zippers that can be used with mittens, deep, easy to open pockets, wide hood with velcro to fit fur edge etc. Details like this makes the whole difference between a jacket thats nice and a jacket you really can bring and use during winter trips.

I’m fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in the Arctic and Antarctic as a photographer. I purchased the Arktis as a jacket that could take the worst the weather had to throw at it. I’ve just returned from Greenland and it has been everything I’d hoped for. plenty of accessible pockets for all my equipment essentials, a deep hood to keep out the worst of the weather and cut slightly larger to accommodate multiple layers. It stiood up to snow, high winds and sea spray while keeping all my gear accessible,. Wonderful jacket!

Dette oppleves ikke som en allround jakke, men mer spesialtilpasset for lengre vinterturer på ski. Til dette er den super. Skulle ønske Norrøna også førte pels til kragen, men dette lr seg kjøpe utenom.

Over all good, but lacking in some details

Folldal, NorwayOutdoor experience: Expert
I bought this jacket shortly after the release, thinking I'd finally found the perfect jacket for mushing (dog sledding). I really like the long length, the general fit of the hood and access to pockets etc, as well as the roomy fit. What I don't like is the useless hood tightening. When it's really blowing you'd want to cinch down the hood tight, but the internal stops on the elastic can't hold the hood down. Whenever there's a wind ghust, or if I move my head, the elastic slips and the hood is open again. This makes it really annoing using the jacket in windy conditions. I can't believe that this solution is designed the same way on the jacket that Ousland use during the arctic crossing. Another flaw is the attention to detail during production. When opening the breast pockets the zipper gets stuck all the time, and I have to remove my mittens to get it open. That's not what I want to do when it's -35 C. Lastly, the magnetic fastener on the storm flap is next to impossible to fasten with mittens on. You'd think that that should be possible to do. Norrøna needs to fix these small things for this to be the perfect jacket for arctic conditions.
