ISPO Award Winner 2023: Nordisk Lodur Jacket
The Waterproof, Ultralight Down Jacket Keeps You Warm and Dry
Down and rain haven't been considered a dream team until now - but it doesn't have to stay that way. With the Lodur Jacket, Danish outdoor outfitter Nordisk has developed an ultra-light, down-filled shell jacket for women that offers full weather protection. With it, the rain can come!
Down jackets, whose outer material was so thin that the down inside even shone through, were above all ultra-light, breathable and fashionable. But certainly not waterproof. This has now changed, because with the new Lodur Jacket Nordisk has managed to combine an ultra-light weight with a high water column and extreme breathability.
This was made possible by using the innovative NorTech 0.5 membrane, which is 10 times thinner than a human hair. It also weighs less than 20 percent of the current market standard for lightweight membranes.
Nordisk developed the ultra-thin 10-denier fabric ten years ago in collaboration with Japanese fabric manufacturer Toray Industries. Together they have now found a way to make this fabric even waterproof by developing the thin membrane. The filling is made of 'Crystal Down'. This pure goose down comes from Europe and guarantees a high animal welfare standard.
Thus, the jacket has a water column of 20,000 WP, a water vapor permeability of 40,000 MP and comes to a weight of only 300 grams.
Thanks to this groundbreaking technology, the jacket withstands even heavy rain showers. It is durable and lightweight and can be used for a wide range of outdoor activities and in changeable weather. Thanks to the clean look, it fits perfectly in all environments.
A red Y on the chest stands for the well-known Yeti down quality. Nordisk acquired the down specialist Yeti in 2005 and therefore calls the down collection Y by Nordisk.
The jacket was developed for women and comes in yellow and blue. It was launched in November 2022.
