Durability
Cut from a stretchy, three-layer waterproof breathable fabric from Derzimax, the Norefjell is a good balance of weight and durability. The fabric is a little bit less crinkly than many other waterproof breathables out there. 

Weatherproofness
The Norefjell is as waterproof as any raincoat out there. It’s got long hems, a big hood, and waterproof zippers. The powder skirt will keep your torso dry if you take a tumble.

Bells and Whistles
The Norefjellhas RECCO reflectors, which can be useful in avalanche rescue as well as locating the wearer in thick woods if they get stuck out of bounds overnight. Testers liked that the powder skirt could be zipped off to save weight. 

Function
Bergans is known for great tailoring, and the Norefjell is no exception. It seemed to fit all our testers well, especially the taller folks. The drop hood is a nice touch, and the fabric is supple enough to be an every-day coat. 

Breathability
The Derzimax fabric is quite breathable for a waterproof shell. We liked the foot-long pit zips.
