What is the most popular Napapijri jacket?

The Rainforest jacket is our most iconic style, easily recognisable by the spacious front pouch, bold branding and devotion to quality materials.

Napapijri jackets are warm, breathable and have plenty of pockets, so they can be worn during light recreational skiing. However, since they're water resistant rather than waterproof, prolonged and sustained exposure to heavy snowfall or ground snow could soak through.

Napapijri incorporates imagery into its branding to accentuate the themes of travel, adventure and environmental consciousness.

So much so that many simply call it "The Napapijri Jacket". From the classic colours to the special prints to the new full-zip version, discover the Spring/Summer styles and elevate any outdoor experience.

There's no need to worry about staying warm and dry even in the most extreme weathers, with high-quality insulation and quick-dry capability. Plus, it's easy to compress, meaning you can put your Napapijri jacket in your rucksack or carry-bag ready to head to the mountains, rainforests or slopes.

Napapijri is an Italian premium clothing brand owned by VF Corporation. Originally a producer of alpine travel bags, Napapijri now markets apparel, as well as fashion accessories, footwear and bags. The Napapijri brand is most widely associated with its Rainforest jacket.

The price of Napapijri's clothing is not for everyone, however it does feel that you are investing in an exceptionally high-quality product that will last for years and could be handed down through the generations.

The Italian company has a long-standing dispute with Geographical Norway, a Spanish clothing brand of the French company Artextyl, over the trademark design that includes the Norwegian flag on products.

Napapijri winter jackets are warm and water resistant, so can comfortably get you through light snowfall while keeping warm and dry. However, since they are not waterproof jackets, they would not be appropriate for hardcore outdoor exploration in the wintry extremes.

Technically, the waterproof performance of the Rainforest jacket is to withstand 3000 mm H₂O. That means a column of water 3000 mm deep could be borne by the fabric without it leaking through.

Generally, it's fine to machine wash your jacket, and we recommend tumble drying only a low temperature. We do not recommend having your jacket dry cleaned. As Napapijri jackets are made from modern recycled materials, some traditional washing techniques don't apply.

Napapijri Rainforest jackets are designed to be warm and windproof, not necessarily waterproof. Although they will resist a shower, in sustained or heavy rain they will become wet and lose their breathability and insulation. A waterproof outer layer is therefore recommended if you are facing such conditions.

Napapijri – designed for outdoor style

You don't have to compromise between being active and staying stylish. With Napapijri, your jacket follows a classic Italian close fit, with insulation features straight from Nordic climates. We like our jackets to sit close to the body, so you should get one that's a good fit.

Why does Napapijri have a Norwegian flag? Napapijri is an Italian brand with a Finnish name, so the Norwegian flag can seem like a mystery. But the flag is a nod to the great Norwegian pioneers from the golden age of exploration: people like Roald Amundsen, the leader of the team that conquered the South Pole.

What does Napapijri mean? In Finnish, the word “napapiiri” means “Arctic Circle”. “Napa” means “polar” and “piiri” means circuit or circle. The brand name of “Napapijri” is based on that word, as the clothing is associated with cold climates and adventure.

It depends. Some of the lighter, more fashionable styles sometimes play with volumes and therefore have a generous fit. Generally speaking, however, Napapijri's most iconic jackets are not meant to have a generous fit – they are designed to hold themselves against the form of the body.

The best materials to go for are natural materials such as wool, wool blends and cashmere. These fine fabrics will help to keep you warm, and they don't need to be washed as often because you can usually just leave them out to air.
