Norvan Jacke Herren

I run often early in the morning (Belgium) the kind of early where it’s still completely dark and quiet, and you wonder why you’re not still in bed. But I love it. It’s just me, the rhythm of the run, and whatever the weather throws at me. So I need to 100% trust my gear, especially my jacket. The Arc’teryx Norvan has become a kind of running companion. It’s fully waterproof, super breathable, and has just the right amount of reflective detailing (like that shiny Arc’teryx logo) that makes me feel a little bit like a stealth trail ninja. Safety first — but make it stylish. The hood is perfect — snug with no pressure points — and the zip is great (honestly, so great it deserves its own applause). The pocket on the right is low-key genius. Size: I’m 170 cm, 64 kg, chest 94 cm, and the small fits like a charm — close enough for performance, roomy enough to move. Care: I’ve washed it after every run and no issues at all — no “wetting out,” just solid performance every time. Now, the watch window is a cool idea — great when worn without layers, but if you’re like me and throw on a mid-layer in colder temps, basically all times, the watch ends up covered anyway. Also, if you track heart rate from the wrist, that watch needs skin contact — which makes layering a bit tricky. Still, credit for the innovation! Bottom line: this jacket shows up, every single time. It’s not just a piece of gear — it’s the dependable friend who says, “Yes, let’s go run in the rain at 6 a.m. That sounds like a great idea.” And honestly? It is.
