Designed for charging through deep snow on steep slopes, the Purist Jacket has the technicality and durability to stand up to your hardest-hitting adventures. The North Face built the Purist with 3-layer Gore-Tex to seal out moisture while allowing vapor to escape--preventing you from turning into a sauna on the skin track. The zippered underarm vents let you maximize airflow when you're working hard, and are pack-compatible for touring. The stretchy powder skirt and helmet-compatible hood keep snow from sneaking in at either end and the adjustable cuffs have hook-and-loop tabs for a secure fit plus wrist gussets with thumbholes that protect your extremities. The articulated fit ensures you can use your full range of motion without worrying about bunching or restriction for a full day of on-mountain comfort.
