The North Face Purist Jacket 2020
Built for big days on the skin track, the women’s Purist kit, part of The North Face (TNF) Steep Series, is getting a brand-new update for 2019-20 with the unveiling of TNF’s FUTURELIGHT technology.Through a special nanospinning process, TNF is able to create a membrane that’s air permeable to allow water vapor to escape but remains waterproof. The process also accommodates the tweaking of weight, stretch and durability depending on the intended use of the garment. Whether you’ve got a multi-day approach ahead of you or an extreme amount of vertical to overcome, The North Face Purist Jacket 2020 will adjust to you, keeping you cool or warm, and always dry, in the harshest of high-alpine conditions.
FREESKIER tester thoughts: “The breathability was outstanding, and the thoughtful design and high quality fabric kept the ‘performance kit’ true to its name.”
