Back in 2010 Norrøna was known as a Norwegian ski brand, and for our Gore-Tex pro jacket - a descendant of the first Gore-Tex jacket sold in Europe.

Our iconic trollveggen collection is legendary within the world of mountaineering with its high-performance quality, durability, innovative functionality, and weather protection.

In order to get even more credibility from this collection, we needed to get it tested under the most extreme conditions. This is when we offered to send 200 of the original green trollveggen Gore-Tex jackets to NARG, The Norwegian Alpine Rescue Team.

Soon after this, a working relationship was formed and the fearless members of NARG have been a part of our extreme user development program ever since.

"In order to develop the highest quality products, we need to be able to test them under the most extreme conditions. This is why back in 2010, we sent 200 green trollveggen Gore-Tex jackets to The Norwegian Alpine Rescue Team (NARG)."
Jørgen Jørgensen, 4th generation owner of Norrøna
