The North Face

Cold Spell Cropped Down Jacket - Women's

DryVent technology is a proprietary two-layer membrane developed by The North Face that keeps water out while allowing moisture, like sweat, to escape. This means you can stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities, even in rainy or snowy conditions. It’s perfect for keeping you warm without feeling clammy inside.

RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard, which ensures that the goose down used in the jacket comes from geese that are treated humanely. This certification guarantees ethical sourcing, so you can feel good about your purchase. The 550-fill rating indicates that the down is high-quality and provides excellent warmth, making it ideal for cold weather.

Heatseeker Eco is an insulation technology made from recycled materials that provides warmth without adding bulk. This means you can stay warm without feeling weighed down. Additionally, using recycled polyester makes it a more environmentally friendly choice, aligning with sustainable practices.

A PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is a treatment applied to fabrics to make them water-resistant without using harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This is important for sustainability, as it reduces the environmental impact of outdoor gear. Choosing PFC-free products helps protect nature while keeping you dry.

A removable powder skirt is a feature in ski jackets that prevents snow from entering the jacket when you fall or ski in deep snow. You can detach it when you don’t need it, making the jacket versatile for various activities, whether you’re skiing or just enjoying a winter day outdoors.

The combination of DryVent technology, RDS Certified Goose Down, Heatseeker Eco insulation, PFC-free DWR finish, and a removable powder skirt creates a jacket that is not only warm and comfortable but also environmentally responsible. These features ensure you stay dry, warm, and protected in various weather conditions, making it a smart investment for outdoor enthusiasts.
