As the title says really, any experience? It is well insulated winter gear or more of a layering system, it's not clear from their website? Anyone got first hand experience with it?
Norrona finnskogen... Worth the money?

I've got the Finnskogen trousers & love them, not as thick or as hard wearing as the harkila but great for summer and winter as they are light and have vents for summer & in winter with a decent under layer. I guess it's personal preference but I've always found a few layers are better than one thick one. Also there not button up but zip fly and Velcro which works really well.
if you get the jacket I would be interested in a review.

Thanks
I have both the norona and harkila. The norrona is thinner and have warn it down to minus 2. I wear a fleece shirt (johnnorris special), tea cosy hat and some seal skin gloves. It's ok for when going up hill and get over hot, but sat in a corry out of the sun when spying or having your piece. it gets a bit Baltic, so I have a fleece in a ruck sack, a buff thingy round my neck and a neoprene balaclava. I also bought from a camping shop a foam seat too. To be fair, I do the same with the harkila, but prefere that when really cold and blowing a gale.

Helpful, thanks, so presume with thermals on, it'd be good then?
Also, from the image in the link it looks pretty baggy, more like ski salopettes than stalking trousers, is that the case or is it more fitted than it looks? Sort of looks more like a waterproof over trouser?
It should be..but I caveat that with it depends on your stalking. Mine is west coast of Scotland in November usually and yorkshire all year round. The last few years it hasn't been bitter..but if high seat or driving cold wind..harkila. Ive not been out in really bad weather to test the norrona and only had them for a year, I learned about them from my FC mates who are out all the time. Don't think they have ripped them yet. As for fit, It depends how big you are. I bought my harkila trousers longer than I should, which do balloon a bit..and also hold in farts
. The norrona are closer fitting.Norrona Finnskogen Gore-Tex Pants
Been using these for the past 3 years.
Good for summer use as they are quite light & just put a thermal on under them for winter.
Been out in some realy nasty weather on the hill & never had any cause for complaint.
I even bought the jacket to go with them.
