Warm2 Octaâ„¢ Dual-Fabric System
The body of the vest features Norrona’s unique bonded fleece construction:
Outer Face: Durable, soft, 100% recycled polyester melange knit (60D / 46-gauge), offering wind resistance, moisture wicking, and PFC-free DWR finish for light weather protection.
Octa™ Liner: A high-performance multi-channel fiber insulation (57% recycled polyester / 43% polyester) that provides superior moisture transport, lightweight warmth, and continuous airflow—keeping your core dry and comfortable during exertion.
Targeted Ventilation with Warm1 Panels
The back and underarm zones feature Warm1 fleece (170 g/m²) made from 70% recycled polyester, optimized for breathability and stretch, enabling better heat release and ventilation during high activity levels.
