The Lyngen Gore-Tex Active Jacket is a super lightweight and breathable shell designed primarily for fast-paced activities in cold and wet conditions, with running being the most frequently mentioned use. Reviewers praise its excellent ventilation and weather protection, keeping you warm in wind and snow while effectively wicking away sweat. It's also been used successfully for ski touring, hiking, and general outdoor adventures in challenging weather. The fit is generally considered good, with enough room for mid-layers, though one reviewer noted their size ran a bit large.
While most appreciate the jacket's minimalist design and performance, the lack of underarm zippers for ventilation is a recurring criticism. The "X-open" front zipper, intended for ventilation, isn't viewed as an adequate substitute.
Recommended for: Those seeking a highly breathable and protective shell for high-output activities like running, hiking, and ski touring in cold and wet weather. If underarm ventilation is a must-have, consider other options.
