Does Norrona run big or small?

Norrona fits slightly small. Most people are fine in their usual size, but broader or more muscular builds and anyone planning heavy layering should size up one. Norrøna is widely described as cutting on the slim, long Nordic pattern — technically shaped and athletic rather than roomy — so shoppers with broader shoulders or American sizing expectations often find their usual size snug, while tall/lean builds report an excellent fit.
