Pricey, but good slim fit

Norrøna Lyngen CLO 100 Insulated Jacket - Men's

Norrøna Lyngen CLO 100 Insulated Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 January 18, 2010

It's not any better than other Primaloft jackets as far as quality, but unlike Patagonia, Cloudveil, TNF, etc, it has an athletic/slim fit similar to Arcteryx which makes it worth it for me. The main zipper isn't as beefy as I'd expect and the pockets, which are placed for access while wearing a pack, open awkwardly since they are so long.

Overall, about the only option if you want a slim cut synthetic insulated jacked with decent (but not overkill) fill.

Have the 120mm size for my Hippy Stinx and they work great. Watch the Black Diamond video for trimming the skins, and you'll be fine.

This is what all my backcounty partners use. Super easy to use - hopefully I'll never have to.

The flick lock holds well and the poles have a nice swing weight to them. Leave the carbon poles for the fancy boys - poles get worked in the backcounty.

Shame about the graphics. Basically the Public Enemy with inserts, it's a great all mountain ski for powder, steeps and bumps. Could do without the over the top agro topsheet though.

Very versatile jacket, my Gamma SV was often too warm, particularly skinning in the BC. The MX is great for most winter days and breathes really well. If it's super cold, just layer with a lightweight fleece. Arc'teryx stuff is expensive, but the fit is great for athletic builds.
