What to know about Norrøna
Norrøna is a Norwegian technical outerwear house founded in 1929 by Jørgen Jørgensen and still family-owned, now led by his great-grandson of the same name from headquarters at Lysaker outside Oslo. The range is organised into activity-named collections — lofoten for big-mountain freeride, falketind for mountaineering, trollveggen for alpine climbing, lyngen for ski touring, tamok for resort skiing, plus the minimalist møre and urban svalbard lines. Gore-Tex Pro three-layer shells, PFAS-free ePE membranes, lifetime repair service and gorpcore styling anchor the brand.
