Outerwear question

**StuntCok** · 02-27-2007, 01:47 AM

I am looking for a shell that is high quality like Arc'teryx but loose fitting so as to stuff my ass and bodyarmour in it as inconspicously as possible. I read about this NORRØNA brand on another thread. Does anyone know how it fits? Any other suggestions on high end but baggy-ish outwear?

Baggy but really good quality. Might be hard to get hold of.... if your not in Norway.

I like the quality of the Lofoten series for skiing. It's not a really baggy fit, but definitely loose. I have long arms and legs myself, and that's often a problem with finding clothes that fit, but Norrøna fits me well.

Sweet and Whiteout (above) have a more baggy fit, I think.

Nope.
IMO Norrøna are more BC oriented.

I'm 6'3" and recently got my hands on a Norrona Lofoten jacket. I love the fit but I wouldn't call it baggy, atleast compared to some Marmot gear I have owned. I usualyy wear a base layer, long sleeve shirt and a fleece underneath. Keep in mind I'm also 230lbs so not small by any means. So far I am really impressed with the quality and don't have any complaints
