Nordisk Sol

Hardshell plus down in an ultra-lightweight way. High mountains or the far north: the Sol down jacket from Nordisk is ready for anything! With its bear-like strong features, the Sol is sure to impress even the most seasoned adventurers. It feels like a delicate, soft down duvet and weighs no more, yet it is neither fragile nor susceptible in any other way. Instead, it withstands the pressure of a 20-meter water column as well as fierce gusts of wind and mechanical stress during tough outdoor use. Its density and strength might suggest a compromise on breathability, but that's far from the truth; the Sol is the most breathable jacket Nordisk has ever made. It keeps you warm and dry from the outside, as well as from the inside – and it does so consistently.

New possibilities through creative innovation. For these seemingly incompatible requirements, a revolutionary solution like the NorTech 0.5 membrane from Toray is essential. With a diameter of an astonishing five micrometers, it is the thinnest, lightest, and most breathable waterproof protection ever developed. The ultralight outer material, also from Toray, aptly named Next to Nothing, is nonetheless a tear-resistant ripstop nylon.

Of course, the water-repellent filling made from European white goose down belongs in this list of superlatives, with performance values as outstanding as its wearing comfort. It also contributes to the incredibly low overall weight of the Sol jacket, which is under 300 grams (in size L)!

The key points at a glance: high-end materials and construction, maximum cold and weather protection at minimal weight, and good features for comfort and versatility.
