More informationWhat Is an Insulated Ski Jacket and What Are the Options?
An insulated ski jacket is essential for anyone seeking warmth and comfort while skiing or snowboarding. The insulation helps maintain your body temperature, even in the harshest conditions. There are different types of insulation, each with its own advantages. In this guide, we explain the differences so you can make the perfect choice.
Down Insulation: Lightweight and Extremely Warm
A jacket insulated with down is the ideal choice for those looking for maximum warmth without sacrificing comfort. Down provides excellent insulation and is very lightweight, making it perfect for cold, dry conditions. However, keep in mind that down performs less well in wet conditions unless the jacket has been specially treated to resist moisture.
Wool Insulation: Natural and Breathable
Jackets with wool insulation offer a natural alternative. Wool is not only warm but also breathable and retains heat even when damp. This option is ideal for those who prefer natural materials and comfort in varying weather conditions.
Synthetic Insulation: Versatile and Low-Maintenance
Synthetic insulation, such as PrimaLoft or Thinsulate, offers excellent warmth and performs well in wet conditions. This option is often slightly heavier than down but dries quickly and is easier to care for. It’s ideal for active winter sports enthusiasts who value versatility and affordability.
Why Choose an Insulated Ski Jacket?
-
Optimal Warmth: Protect yourself against extreme cold.
-
Comfort During Activity: Maintain your freedom of movement without sacrificing insulation.
-
Suitable for Various Weather Conditions: Whether you're skiing in powder snow or braving a cold wind, an insulated jacket adapts to your needs.
Which Insulation Suits You Best?
The right insulation depends on your personal preferences and the conditions in which you’ll wear the jacket. Looking for ultimate warmth and comfort? Go for down. Need a versatile, low-maintenance option? Consider synthetic materials. Or choose wool for a natural feel.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:
1. Check your items
√ Has the return period of 14 days after receipt not expired
√ Is the yellow return label (in the case of outerwear and trousers) and all price tags still attached?
√ Is the article unworn and therefore not dirty, damaged or creased?

3. Pack your return
√ Fold the items neatly and close all zips and buttons. Because of the technical materials it is important not to cause serious creases and wrinkles, as these can damage the product.
Then pack the items back in their original packaging and put them in the shipping bag or box. Another bag or box is also fine, as long as it is sturdy so that it arrives undamaged

- 28,000 mm ePE GORE-TEX with taped seams
- 60 g/m² PrimaLoft on front, shoulders, elbows
- Storm hood fits a freeride helmet, one-hand
- 702 g in women's M: heavy for a ski jacket
- Fixed insulation, too warm for spring slush
- XL in Caviar Black only, other colours stop at L
The Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket is a women's insulated waterproof ski and snowboard jacket built for freeride skiing on cold winter days. It pairs a 2-layer woven ePE GORE-TEX shell rated at 28,000 mm with body-mapped PrimaLoft Silver insulation, so one jacket replaces a shell plus a separate insulated midlayer. Weight is 702 g in women's M.
Who is the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket for?
This jacket suits a woman who rides lift-accessed off-piste, sidecountry and piste in cold winter conditions and wants full waterproof protection with the warmth already built in. It is not the right choice for ski touring or other sustained uphill effort: the insulation is fixed and the 702 g weight works against you on the climb. On warm spring days and in late-season slush, an uninsulated shell is the better tool.
How warm and waterproof is the lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket?
The GORE-TEX ePE membrane is rated at 28,000 mm water column and the waterproof fabric has taped seams, so sustained snowfall and wet chairlift seats are not an issue. Insulation is PrimaLoft Silver in 100% recycled polyester, zoned at 60 g/m² across the front, shoulders and elbows and 40 g/m² in the collar and back. That is light to mid-weight synthetic fill: enough for moving around on cold winter days, not expedition warmth for standing still in deep cold without extra layers. X-open underarm vents with water-resistant YKK zippers let you dump heat on steeper laps.
Which size should you choose in the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket?
The cut is a regular fit with articulated elbows and an asymmetric, longer back hem. Check the size chart on this page against your chest and hip measurements. Because the jacket already carries insulation, plan on a base layer and, on the coldest days, a thin mid layer underneath rather than a bulky fleece. Sizes run S to L, with XL in Caviar Black only.
Details
How is the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket built?
The Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket uses a 2-layer construction: a woven ePE GORE-TEX fabric with a 100% recycled polyester face in 75D at 104 g/m², backed by a quilted synthetic insulation layer. The insulation is PrimaLoft Silver, distributed by body zone — 60 g/m² where you lose heat fastest and take the weather first (front, shoulders, elbows) and 40 g/m² in the collar and back, where a pack or a seat back would otherwise compress it. Seams on the waterproof fabric are taped. The result is a two-piece system in one garment, which is why the jacket lands at 702 g in women's M.
Is the lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket suitable for freeride and resort days?
Freeride is what the lofoten line is built around, and this jacket shows it. The storm hood is sized to go over a freeride helmet and adjusts with one hand; a stretchy snow gaiter with friction elastic seals the waist and folds away on a snap when you do not need it; integrated hand gaiters keep snow out of your sleeves on deep days. Pocketing is set up for lift-served riding: two vertical chest pockets with water-resistant zippers, hand warming pockets, a sleeve pocket, a radio and key-card pocket, an internal chest pocket and an inside mesh pocket. Where it stops is uphill: breathability on a 2-layer insulated build is moderate, and the underarm vents help on a bootpack but do not turn this into a touring jacket. The hood is cut for a ski helmet, and no climbing-helmet or harness compatibility is claimed.
What is the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket made of and how do you wash it?
The main fabric is 2-layer woven ePE GORE-TEX with a 100% recycled polyester face at 75D, 104 g/m². Insulation is PrimaLoft Silver in 100% recycled polyester. A secondary fabric of 82% recycled polyamide and 18% elastane adds stretch. Wash on a gentle cycle at 40 °C with liquid detergent, with all zippers closed and with similar colours. Tumble dry on low — gentle heat helps the synthetic fill regain loft. Do not bleach, do not iron and do not dry clean. Country of origin is Vietnam.
How sustainable is this jacket?
Both the face fabric and the PrimaLoft Silver insulation are 100% recycled polyester, and the waterproof membrane is a GORE-TEX ePE construction. The style is recorded as bluesign® APPROVED and certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Recycled Claim Standard 100 (RCS) and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, with recycled PET and recycled polyamide content.
