The Norrona Recon Jacket, now in its fourth generation, is Norrona's most durable and weather-protective shell jacket yet. Developed with the help of the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish Special Forces, the legendary Recon Jacket is truly one of the finest waterproof, windproof and breathable outer shells on the market.

Made from the 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro material, the Recon Jacket is ideal for use both in the UK and overseas, offering fantastic protection from wind, rain and snow. It comes highly recommended by Ray Mears and the Woodlore team after extensive use around the world, particularly in the Arctic wilderness where it has become our go-to jacket. The Gore-Tex membrane uses a woven liner to reduce weight and bulk, enhance moisture transport and minimise abrasion, all while maintaining durable waterproof properties, making it a superb storm-protection fabric.

Designed for use in the areas of trekking, hunting, expeditions, glacier walking, general outdoor pursuits and military use, the Recon Jacket is a truly versatile and heavy-duty outdoor jacket. Despite the excellent barrier it provides against the elements, the Recon Jacket is surprisingly lightweight, at just 720 g in size Large.

  I purchased this jacket for my husband and so far he seems very pleased with it. He is 6 ft 1, with a 34 inch waist and the large size is a good fit for him, allowing a thick fleece be worn underneath quite comfortably. The sleeves are a good length, and the body is quite long so that the hemline falls on the upper thigh. The fabric feels light but tough, and the garment looks well made with some useful details, like the clips inside the sleeve pockets. I guess only time will tell whether it is worth the money, but so far at least, it looks like a great purchase.

  If you are looking for a Gore Tex Pro Shell long jacket there are not many options. Firstly the service was excellent - jacket arrived quickly and well packed. I am 193 cm tall and 108 kg and size XXL is ideal for me. The jacket has a few niggles, the hood doesn’t fold up so if you’re a hat wearer it can’t be kept neat. It’s very noisy, I’m hoping this will reduce but it is distracting when walking alone. The under arm vents won’t zip back up without removing the jacket. These together lose it a star, it’s not a coat I’ll love but it will get the job done.

  The best Gore Tex Pro jacket you'll find. Really tough and superbly well made. Pockets are in all the right places with fantastic design details. Don't be put off by the price. This jacket does everything it claims and will probably out last you. All backed up by fabulous customer service and next day delivery from Woodlore. Thank you.

  Excellent build quality and functional design. I'm 6ft 1 inch tall, 43 inch chest, 26 inch arm and 38/40 inch waist when measured as per Norrona size chart instruction (normal trouser waist size 34 inches). I needed the XL size to fit chest, shoulders and arm length so a little wide in the waist but this was not a problem as the well-designed mid and bottom integrated elastic cords allowed easy adjustment. The online automatic Norrona sizing application was very useful and accurate in selecting the appropriate size. Good room and range of movement in the arms and shoulders. The jacket is a good length for rain protection when the bottom elasticated cord is left loose but this can be adjusted to hold the jacket above the hip joint for better ease of movement when hiking. Hood is very generous but can be adjusted down easily to accommodate any choice of additional headwear (helmet/beanie etc.). There is a very nice feature at the top of the main zip where an area of soft friction free fabric is placed to prevent chaffing of your chin when fully zipped. Ventilation zips allow access to mid layer pockets and are very effective in heat regulation. Please note that this is an outer shell only so additional thermal layering is required to insulate. I'm very impressed with the product. In summary very well designed versatile jacket with superior materials of construction and build quality. In terms of order experience, it was very efficient with 24hr delivery and very helpful mannerly staff.

  A good all round jacket handy for the summer due to ventilation etc. It can be winterised with the addition of a fur trim for the hood and additional layers.

  The coat is very well made and and the quality is noticeable on every joint and seam. I’m 6’3 size 34 waist and weigh 14st, I bought the XL. It fits great, the arm length is nice and long and it’s a nice long coat. I like plenty of room for my outer shell jackets so in winter I can get a down jacket underneath if needed. I have an Arc’teryx shell jacket as well and the quality of the Norrona on the seams, zips and over all construction is just as good. All in all this is a great coat and the delivery from wood lore was super fast. 10 out of 10 for me on this coat.

  Superb jacket, fits perfectly. Good strong zip, decent pockets. I am sure this will protect me in both strong winds and driving rain. Very pleased with the price also.

  Fantastic, I really like this jacket. Very comfortable, it's very waterproof and wicks perspiration away easily and quickly. It has six pockets and four openings for ventilation. It doesn't rustle much, making it reasonably quiet. I'd recommend this to anyone.
