The Purist kit is designed to fully integrate with other The North Face (TNF) Steep Series garments. Strategically placed two-way pockets in the jacket allow access to midlayer and bib zippers, so nothing prevents you from reaching your goods quickly and easily. The jacket is constructed with what TNF calls its “steep ergo attack stance,” which promotes a more natural fit when actively moving—whether that’s hiking or skiing. “The body length and fit in the arms really stood out to me,” noted Retallack guide Jon MacDonald. “It was a super comfortable, great fit for me, and I’m 6 feet, 180 pounds.” Additionally, the kit utilizes a three-layer Gore-Tex build to keep moisture and wind from penetrating it, and to extend the life of the garments for many seasons to come.
