dileas Posted September 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I'm going on MS Maud to Norway and Lofoten Islands in October. Hurtigruten issue windproof/waterproof jackets. Will this suffice or should I take my own thick windproof/waterproof jacket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoviezombie Posted September 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Hard to say... but likely yes you should have a backup... The jacket is fairly light, not at all like a heavy lined/padded/insulated winter jacket. The quality or fabric also varies, my wife's was very effective as a windbreaker, mine not so much.

Rare CDNPolar Posted September 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Don't know if this is the same outerwear jacket that they provide on Expedition ships, but if it is, it is just wind and waterproof - no warmth at all. We were in 0C temps and this jacket would not have been enough on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dileas Posted September 14, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Thanks for your prompt replies! I'll take the thick waterproof/windproof jacket I bought in Norway in June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
