More informationWhat Is an Insulated Ski Jacket and What Are the Options?
An insulated ski jacket is essential for anyone seeking warmth and comfort while skiing or snowboarding. The insulation helps maintain your body temperature, even in the harshest conditions. There are different types of insulation, each with its own advantages. In this guide, we explain the differences so you can make the perfect choice.
Down Insulation: Lightweight and Extremely Warm
A jacket insulated with down is the ideal choice for those looking for maximum warmth without sacrificing comfort. Down provides excellent insulation and is very lightweight, making it perfect for cold, dry conditions. However, keep in mind that down performs less well in wet conditions unless the jacket has been specially treated to resist moisture.
Wool Insulation: Natural and Breathable
Jackets with wool insulation offer a natural alternative. Wool is not only warm but also breathable and retains heat even when damp. This option is ideal for those who prefer natural materials and comfort in varying weather conditions.
Synthetic Insulation: Versatile and Low-Maintenance
Synthetic insulation, such as PrimaLoft or Thinsulate, offers excellent warmth and performs well in wet conditions. This option is often slightly heavier than down but dries quickly and is easier to care for. It’s ideal for active winter sports enthusiasts who value versatility and affordability.
Why Choose an Insulated Ski Jacket?
-
Optimal Warmth: Protect yourself against extreme cold.
-
Comfort During Activity: Maintain your freedom of movement without sacrificing insulation.
-
Suitable for Various Weather Conditions: Whether you're skiing in powder snow or braving a cold wind, an insulated jacket adapts to your needs.
Which Insulation Suits You Best?
The right insulation depends on your personal preferences and the conditions in which you’ll wear the jacket. Looking for ultimate warmth and comfort? Go for down. Need a versatile, low-maintenance option? Consider synthetic materials. Or choose wool for a natural feel.

- 40 g/m² thermo40 fill keeps warming when damp
- 20D aeroDownproof ripstop shell, 37 g/m², windproof
- Recycled nylon shell, 100% recycled polyester fill
- No membrane: needs a shell in rain or wet snow
- Slim technical cut, tight over a thick midlayer
- No powder skirt, pit zips or RECCO reflector
The Norrøna falketind thermo40 Zip Hood is a men's lightweight synthetic-insulated jacket with a hood, built for year-round mountaineering and ski touring. It pairs 40 g/m² thermo40 insulation in 100% recycled polyester with an aeroDownproof face fabric of 20D ripstop recycled nylon at 37 g/m², so it stops wind and keeps insulating when damp. It is an insulating layer rather than a weather shell: in rain or wet snow it belongs under a hardshell.
Who is the falketind thermo40 Zip Hood for?
This jacket suits a mountaineer or ski tourer who wants a light warm layer that can be carried all day and who already owns a waterproof shell for precipitation. It also works for trekking, hiking and general outdoor use. It is not the jacket for a resort day in snowfall as your only outer layer, not for static cold or expedition use, and not for hard uphill efforts in mild weather, where the downproof face fabric and the quilted build limit breathability.
How warm is the Norrøna falketind thermo40 Zip Hood?
The insulation is a single 40 g/m² weight with no per-zone differentiation, which is the lightest of Norrøna's thermo synthetic weights. That makes it a layering piece in cold conditions: warm over a base layer while you are moving, and warm under a shell when the weather turns. Elastic cuffs, an elasticated hem and a hood with one-hand adjustment keep the warm air in.
Which size should you choose in the falketind thermo40 Zip Hood?
The falketind thermo40 Zip Hood has a slim, technical cut with articulated elbows and an asymmetric longer back. Check the size chart on this page before ordering. The cut leaves limited room over a thick fleece, so plan it over a base layer or a thin mid layer. Sizes run S to XL; size S is not offered in Deep Lichen Green.
How is the Norrøna falketind thermo40 Zip Hood constructed?
Two layers do the work in this men's insulated jacket. The outside is aeroDownproof: a 20D ripstop recycled nylon at 37 g/m², tightly woven enough to be downproof and to cut wind. Behind it sits thermo40, a 100% recycled polyester insulation at 40 g/m², held in place by a quilted construction with an inner fabric. There is no waterproof membrane and no taped seams in this build, which is why the jacket is specified as an insulating layer. A full-length front zip, one zipped chest pocket and two zipped hand-warming pockets complete it.
Is the falketind thermo40 Zip Hood suitable for ski touring?
Yes, as the warm layer in a touring kit rather than as the shell. The Norrøna falketind thermo40 Zip Hood is light enough to live in the pack on the way up and quick to pull on at a transition or on a summit, and the insulation keeps working when it has taken on moisture. Articulated arms and the longer back keep it in place when you are reaching or bent over your bindings. Where it stops is clear: there is no powder skirt, no pit zips and no RECCO reflector, breathability is modest for sustained high-output climbing, and sustained snowfall or rain calls for a hardshell over the top. For freeride days it is a midlayer, not an outer layer.
What is the falketind thermo40 Zip Hood made of, and how do you wash it?
The face fabric is recycled nylon in a 20D ripstop weave and the insulation is 100% recycled polyester, so the whole jacket is a synthetic build that tolerates damp and regular washing better than down. Wash it gently at 40°C with similar colours and close all zippers first, which protects both the fabric and the zip tape. Do not bleach, do not iron and do not dry clean. Tumble dry lightly to bring the insulation back to full loft after washing.
How sustainable is the Norrøna falketind thermo40 Zip Hood?
Both main components are recycled: the ripstop face fabric is recycled nylon and the thermo40 insulation is 100% recycled polyester. The materials carry recycled-content certification for polyamide/nylon (RM7) and polyester (RM8), and the article is bluesign® APPROVED, certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS, Textile Exchange) and to Recycled Claim Standard 100 (RCS, Textile Exchange). The jacket is made in China. Norrøna builds its collections around place-named lines, and falketind is the all-round alpine line: this hood is the lightest insulation step in it.
