The North Face

Aconcagua Parka - Women's

WindWall is a proprietary fabric technology developed by The North Face that effectively blocks wind and light precipitation. This means that when you wear clothing made with WindWall, you’ll stay warmer and more comfortable in cold and windy conditions, making it perfect for outdoor activities like hiking or skiing.

The term "600-fill recycled down" refers to the insulation used in the parka. The "600-fill" indicates a high level of loftiness, which translates to excellent warmth without added weight. The "recycled down" means that the insulation is sourced from repurposed materials, making it an eco-friendly choice that helps reduce waste while keeping you warm.

A PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is a treatment applied to fabrics to make them water-resistant without using harmful perfluorinated chemicals. Choosing products with a PFC-free DWR finish is important for environmentally conscious consumers, as it helps reduce pollution and protects the planet while keeping you dry in wet conditions.

Insulation in clothing traps heat to keep you warm. This parka uses a combination of down and synthetic insulation. Down provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, while synthetic insulation remains effective even when wet, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable in various weather conditions.

Baffle construction refers to the compartments that hold insulation in place within the jacket. This design prevents the insulation from shifting, ensuring even warmth distribution. The horizontal baffle construction used in this parka enhances warmth retention and comfort, making it an ideal choice for cold weather.

Yes, you can wear this parka in wet conditions! Thanks to the PFC-free DWR finish, the fabric is water-resistant, helping to keep you dry. Additionally, the combination of down and synthetic insulation ensures that you stay warm even if the insulation gets damp, making it a versatile choice for unpredictable weather.
