Crafted specifically for outdoor enthusiasts seeking lightweight agility and dependable weather defence, The North Face Ridgelite Futurefleece Wind Men’s Jacket delivers an optimal balance of protection and comfort. Designed in a versatile regular fit, this jacket is an essential outer layer for hiking and backcountry adventures where unpredictable conditions demand dynamic performance.

The exterior features advanced WINDWALL woven fabric combined with a fluorine-free DWR finish, making the shell fully windproof and water repellent against light rain and moisture. On the inside, an innovative FUTUREFLEECE lining offers exceptional insulation with a soft next-to-skin touch, providing superior warmth without bulk.

For tailored coverage, an adjustable three-piece hood stows securely when not in use, while integrated underarm gussets ensure total, unrestricted range of motion. Engineered to be exceptionally packable, the entire garment easily stows directly into its own hood for minimal storage space in your pack.

Functional finishing touches include a full-length centre front zip, secure zippered hand pockets, snug encased elastic cuffs, an adjustable internal hem cinch-cord, and a safety-focused reflective bar on the lower back. Constructed responsibly from recycled materials, this high-performance windshell features a signature heat transfer logo on the chest and back shoulder for a classic outdoor aesthetic.

  • WINDWALL Shell Fabric: Windproof and water repellent construction that blocks chilly gusts, paired with a non-fluorinated durable water repellent (DWR) finish shielding against light moisture.
