Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket compatible with climbing helmets?

Yes, the Pivot 2 hood system is designed to be highly adjustable and accommodates most standard climbing helmets.

Does the jacket use recycled materials?

Yes, the jacket features a recycled 40 denier face fabric and YKK AQUAGUARD NATULON recycled zippers.

Can I wear a heavy fleece under this jacket?

The Norste XT is cut for technical layering. You should be able to fit a mid-layer underneath, though it is best to try it on with your specific layers for the best fit.

Are the seams taped?

Yes, the jacket features strategically taped areas to ensure maximum weatherproofing and breathability.

How do I maintain the waterproof membrane?

Regular cleaning is key. Dirt and oils can clog the membrane's pores; wash the jacket periodically to maintain its breathability.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore performance.

Moisture buildup inside the jacket

Ensure that your base layers are moisture-wicking and utilize the pit zip vents during high-exertion phases to increase airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-durability 40 denier ripstop fabric
Excellent wind and water protection
Highly adjustable hood system
Breathable 3-layer laminate design
Environmentally conscious use of recycled zippers

Cons

Technical fabric requires specialized washing
More rigid feel than non-mountain specific softshells
Designed primarily for technical use rather than casual wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket performs as intended, adjust the hood crown and aperture pull-tabs while wearing your intended headwear (such as a climbing helmet or beanie). For the best water-repellent performance, ensure all zippers are fully closed before heading into the storm.

Care Instructions:

Wash in cold water using a technical gear detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes.
Avoid fabric softeners or heavy-duty detergents, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
Periodically tumble dry on a low setting or follow instructions for re-activating the DWR finish through controlled heat.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
