The North Face

Freedom Insulated Jacket - Boys'

DryVent is a proprietary fabric technology developed by The North Face that provides a waterproof and breathable barrier. It features a two-layer system that keeps moisture from entering while allowing sweat and heat to escape. This is crucial for outdoor activities like skiing and snowboarding, as it helps you stay dry and comfortable, enhancing your overall experience.

Heatseeker Eco is an insulation material made from recycled materials, making it an environmentally friendly option. It is designed to provide warmth without adding excessive bulk, allowing for better mobility and comfort during cold weather activities. This insulation keeps you warm while ensuring you can move freely, which is essential for outdoor sports.

DWR treatment is a special coating applied to fabrics to make them water-resistant. In the case of our jackets, the non-PFC DWR treatment repels water without using harmful chemicals. This means your jacket will stay dry in light rain or snow, helping you stay comfortable during your outdoor adventures.

A powder skirt is a built-in feature around the waist of ski and snowboard jackets that acts as a barrier to prevent snow from entering the jacket. It is designed with gripper elastic to ensure a snug fit, keeping you warm and dry even if you fall or encounter deep snow. This feature is essential for maintaining comfort and warmth on the slopes.

A relaxed fit means the jacket is designed to be looser and more comfortable, allowing for easier movement and layering underneath. This is particularly important for activities like skiing and snowboarding, where you need to move freely. A relaxed fit ensures you can enjoy your outdoor activities without feeling restricted.

Absolutely! Jackets with Heatseeker Eco insulation are designed to provide warmth without excessive bulk, making them perfect for layering. You can comfortably wear base layers or mid-layers underneath, allowing you to adjust your outfit based on the weather conditions while still staying warm and mobile.
