Norrona Expands Lightweight Hike And Freeride Mountain Bike Collections For Spring/Summer 2023
Norrøna, the four-season Norwegian outdoor brand known for its sustainably built, premium outerwear, announces all-new purpose-built products for Spring/Summer 2023. Norrøna builds on the success and momentum of its falketind, svalbard and fjørå collections with sustainably built additions for hiking, mountain biking and everyday wear. In 1929, Jørgen Jørgensen, a Norwegian outdoor enthusiast, set Norrøna’s bearing: to search for the best in technical advancements, to create the ultimate in performance product. Today, four generations later, Norrøna is still a privately-held and family-operated company based in Oslo, Norway, seeking to redefine the meaning of fit, function and finish in sustainably sourced and built technical outerwear.
“Every new product Norrøna releases is developed to meet our standard of excellence of integrating innovative and sustainable materials, a technical and comfortable fit and uncompromising durability and functionality, all while following our design ethos of Loaded Minimalism,” says Norrøna CEO Jørgen Jørgensen. “Through our products, we are excited to be able to continue supporting adventures in nature on foot, bike and skis.”
