FEATURES:
HyVent
Designed as an innovative option for complete weather protection, HyVent is a waterproof/breathable polyurethane-based membrane. While it is slightly less breathable than Gore-Tex laminates, it is extremely waterproof, and can be counted on as a dependable protective outer layer. This combination of high waterproofness and breathability makes it ideal for keeping the elements out. To increase the comfort and breathability level of the coating, they have developed precise custom lining options in both their 2 and 3-layer versions of the HyVent technology.
Durable Water Resistant (DWR) Finish
Durable Water Resistant (DWR) finishes on fabrics and zippers give long life to waterproof technologies. The addition of an enhanced hydrophobic treatment enables the DWR to adhere to materials for an extremely extended lifetime. When water hits the fabric's surface, DWR finishes act like water repels off a ducks back, leaving you dry in wet, rainy conditions.
Heatseeker Insulation
The North Face proprietary synthetic insulation offers a great warmth-to-weight ratio, is highly compressible, and is extremely durable, making it ideal for cold weather excursions that require warmth at minimal bulk.
