Bottom Line: We have no clue what Nansen means, but we’re betting it has something to do with being windproof.
Was a little skeptical to purchase this jacket but I am glad I did. Its features are all very high end. It is extremely light weight and you barely even feel it on you. Gore windstopper gives you good water resistance, decent breathability, and excellent wind protection. Pit-zips are a really great feature.
The sleeves are a little long which is my only complaint but there are there for climbing purposes.
Sure is a nice jacket, yet for the price, it is frighteningly disappointing. As it turns out, this jacket does not allow you to run faster, which is what I was expecting after emptying my wallet on it. There are other jacket by companies more reputable than this company that offer the same specs for half the price, and offer a lifetime warranty to boot, instead of a piddly five year one.
