What is the shell construction and weather rating of the Norrøna falketind GORE-TEX Jacket 1834-24?
Norrøna identifies this jacket as style 1834-24 and describes it as a waterproof shell with a new GORE-TEX ePE membrane. The product page lists 28,000 mm waterproof technology, fully windproof performance, and taped seams using thin 13 mm GORE-TEX tape.
How should the Norrøna falketind GORE-TEX Jacket be washed?
Follow the care label attached to the jacket. Norrøna's GORE-TEX instructions say to close zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners, wash at 40°C with a small amount of mild liquid detergent, avoid softener, stain remover, rinsing agents, and bleach, and rinse twice if possible while minimizing spinning.
How can the jacket's water-repellent finish be maintained?
Norrøna says GORE-TEX products should be re-impregnated after each wash or whenever water repellency is no longer performing well. Its care guidance recommends spray re-impregnation so the outer face becomes water-repellent without unnecessarily affecting moisture transport.
What warranty applies to the Norrøna falketind GORE-TEX Jacket?
The product page states a five-year warranty. Norrøna's warranty terms cover production and material defects, including on used products, while excluding normal wear, accidents, improper care, negligence, and natural wear of colors and materials. Loyalty members may qualify for seven years if registered within 30 days of purchase.
Can the Norrøna falketind GORE-TEX Jacket be repaired?
Norrøna offers repair support for its products at its headquarters and through Norrøna stores. The repair page also describes do-it-yourself repairs and spare-parts ordering for some common issues. Submit the jacket clean: Norrøna says dirty products will not be repaired and will be returned as-is.
What ventilation and hood features does this jacket provide?
The falketind jacket has X-open side-zip ventilation with water-resistant YKK zippers, mid-mounted pockets, articulated elbows, and a storm hood fitted for a climbing helmet with one-hand adjustment. It is listed in a technical fit rather than a relaxed fit.
