The Norse Projects ARKTISK collection is a line of technical, utilitarian outerwear styles for adventurers to depend on when partaking in a range of outdoor activities.
The collection, which translates to arctic from Danish, is a sub-brand of styles including down jackets, parkas, field coats and knitwear that are all crafted with a series of proprietary materials. The Expedition Parka, for example, is made with GORE-TEX on the exterior and ALLIED's RENU for the down, while the Rokkvi 6.0 Parka has the Pertex Shield. The collection will also feature a range of socks, hats and beanies.
The Norse Projects ARKTISK collection is priced starting at $35, but goes all the way up to $1,580 for the Expedition Parka. Several pieces in the collection aren't available just yet, but will be arriving on a rolling basis.
