The North Face

Highball Fleece Jacket - Men's

WindWall is a proprietary fabric technology developed by The North Face that provides excellent protection against wind while remaining breathable. This means you can stay warm and comfortable during outdoor activities in cold and windy conditions without overheating. It's perfect for hiking, climbing, or any adventure where wind is a factor.

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a chemical treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the material instead of soaking in. This is crucial for outdoor clothing, as it helps keep you dry during light rain or snow, enhancing your comfort and performance in unpredictable weather.

Grid Fleece features a unique grid-like pattern that enhances breathability and moisture management. The design creates air pockets that trap warmth while allowing sweat to escape, making it ideal for active pursuits like climbing or hiking. This means you can stay warm without feeling clammy, which is essential for maintaining comfort during physical activities.

Thumbholes are openings in the sleeves of a garment that allow you to insert your thumbs. This feature helps keep the sleeves in place, providing extra coverage and warmth for your wrists and hands. They are especially beneficial during active movements, as they prevent the sleeves from riding up, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.

Slim fit refers to a cut of clothing that is more form-fitting and streamlined, as opposed to loose or baggy styles. This design is ideal for layering under other garments, as it reduces bulk and allows for easier movement during physical activities. If you prefer a sleek look and want to maximize your range of motion, slim fit is a great choice.

While WindWall and DWR-treated clothing provide excellent protection against light rain and wind, they are not designed for heavy downpours. For extreme weather conditions, it's best to layer these garments with a waterproof shell or choose specialized rain gear to ensure you stay dry and comfortable.
