The North Face Himalayan suit 2024

Introducing fully redesigned high-altitude Himalayan mountaineering suit. Designed for a range of alpine pursuits, 900-fill ProDown™ provides high-level warmth, retaining its loft and compressibility in wet conditions. The sophisticated Cloud Down construction helps reduce cold spots to keep you warm, dry and protected all the way to the top. Then there's the targeted use of stretch synthetic insulation and a breathable lining in the collar, inner front placket, back panel and inner thighs that helps regulate your temperature in key zonal areas. With a fine-tuned fit that balances warmth and mobility, you'll be able to move unrestricted - even during tricky, reachy climbs. The FUTURELIGHT™ outer in the lower arms, seat and lower legs is both waterproof and abrasion resistant, protecting you from brushes with rock and pointy mountain tools. Summit Series™ layers all work together for optimum performance in terms of breathability, insulation, weather resistance and moisture management.
