Norrona trollveggen Gore-Tex Light Pro jacket


Norrona’s trollveggen range is designed for the most extreme alpine conditions so, while it’s not a bikespecific design, the GTLP gives excellent protection from the elements. The high specification of this Norwegian brand makes for an eye-watering price though. Made from Gore-Tex Light Pro, which delivers maximum durability and breathability, the jacket does almost stand up by itself but doesn’t feel uncomfortable on. Simple lines and easy-to-use features – in the form of waterproof zips, two large chest pockets and an over-the-helmet hood that fits perfectly (when you move your head, the body of the jacket doesn’t move at all) – make it a joy to wear. The two-way pit zips are the best we’ve tried, and usable even on the fly. This jacket is the ultimate in winter mountain biking protection.
