Lofoten 28

NORRØNA
Category:
HARDWARE
winter 2022
GOLD WINNER

"The backpack from Norrøna scores in points of purpose, material selection and above all in design. It´s the perfect skitouring backpack. It is not to heavy and it is definetly designed for women. With a wide back opening it is very easy to access. Due to the clean and modest design multiple purpose use seems very possible.

Concerning material selection the Lofoten 28 is using the ecological material Econyl. Nylon waste from landfills and oceans is used. The design is very clean, the access to the safety compartement is clearly visible due to a different zipper color. There are no unnecessary straps. The fit is very women specific for narrow shoulders and fits perfectly. Every detail is kept really clear. Even if it looks very clear and simple it has all technical details a skitouring backpack needs.”

We asked the Brands a few questions about their product and their company.
This is what they told us:

Our most durable, fully-featured ski/snowboard pack designed in a shorter back length for women.This rugged backpack is made for freeride and ski touring but is also suitable for general outdoor and trekking activities. The main fabric is highly durable ECONYL® material which offers premium quality and closed-loop regeneration processes. The 320D recycled nylon has a PU coating of 2.000mm and consists of 100% regenerated nylon yarn derived from pre and post-consumer waste such as discarded fishing nets and other nylon waste (among others coming from Norway). The pack has a big main compartment, spacious top compartment, a sectioned compartment for your avalanche equipment, and an easily accessible bottom compartment perfect for crampons and a rope. It’s made for carrying both ski and snowboard, and you can decide whether you want to attach them to the side or front. You have easy access to the main compartment from a zippered entrance in the back. Here, you’ll find a dedicated hydration pocket connected with a sleeve down the carrying strap. There is an integrated helmet net that can be mounted on the front or underneath the pack and the net is designed to prevent snow from getting inside your helmet. Other functional features include compression straps on the side, two ice ax attachments, shaped back panels, a hip belt with pocket, and a chest strap. You can easily hide away the straps in a little slit pocket if you need the pack for everyday use. The pack has a shorter back than the lofoten 30L with a slightly narrower shoulder strap placement.

"We know there are FUN FACTS and / or a BACKSTORY! Please share!"

Kathrine Tollefsen (Sales Team Norway) who tested the prototype on several occasions: „Finally a ski pack with a back length that fit‘s me!“ We saw that issue occurring for Women with back lengths on especially ski packs during product tests & feedbacks. We understand there are differences between genders in many ways and often the design & development focus may have been to male concentrated. In the last years we have concentrated on designing products specially made for women or adapting them to their needs instead of “one fits all”.
