The North FaceSummit Breithorn Hoodie - Down jacket - Women's

Get the weather wrong, not your gear. The Breithorn Hoodie from The North Face Summit Series might not look like a classic down jacket, but it has been designed and tested by mountaineers in extreme conditions: that's what makes all the difference. Its 800 fill ProDown insulation treats natural down with a hydrophobic finish: the result is that it dries much faster than regular down and retains its insulating power even when moisture sets in. The outer fabric in 15D Pertex Y Fuse recycled nylon ripstop further enhances waterproofing thanks to a PFC-free DWR finish, which is more environmentally friendly.

The slim fit and technical construction make this jacket a precise mid-layer or a light outer layer depending on the commitment of the outing. The raglan sleeves and underarm gussets allow for total freedom of movement, arms raised, without the jacket riding up your back. The adjustable hood is helmet-compatible, a detail that makes all the difference in high mountains, and it packs into the left hand pocket to disappear into your bag between huts.

Certified Responsible Down Standard (RDS), it uses recycled materials to limit its impact without compromising performance. A jacket designed for those who see no difference between a day with crampons and a terrace at altitude.
