Norrona Fjora Dri1 Men's Jacket

Norrona calls the Fjørå Dri1 its lightest wind and waterproof shell built for mountain biking, and it's a true stuff-it-anywhere layer for unpredictable riding weather. A waterproof, breathable fabric, a high protective collar, and underarm vents keep riders comfortable when a squall rolls through mid-ride.

Why we like it:

It packs down small enough to fit in a hip pack, which means there's no excuse to ride without a shell. The longer back is a great touch for spray off the rear wheel.

Features and Functions:

Underarm zip vents provide airflow on climbs, while a high protective collar with neck tightening seals out wind and rain. The waterproof, breathable fabric uses recycled fibers, with more than 50 percent of the synthetic fibers recycled, and it's Oeko-Tex certified with a PFC-free DWR. Glued zippers and hook-and-loop cuff adjustments keep water out, and a chest pocket includes a headphone opening. Reflective details add visibility, and it weighs about 200 grams.

Fit and Sizing:

The Fjørå has a trim fit with a longer back to prevent gaps when you're leaning over the bars. It's designed to sit close without restricting movement on the bike.

Bottom Line:

Riders who never want to get caught out will keep the Fjørå Dri1 in their hip pack on every ride. It doubles as an emergency shell for hiking and travel.
