The North Face Summit Series includes the best apparel that the TNF designers could come up with, and the Women's Summit L5 GTX Pro Jacket certainly is a shining example. It's a technical layer for alpine missions ranging from backcountry tours to ice climbing and full-on expeditions. Gore-Tex Pro not only gives this jacket incredible waterproof ratings, but athletically charged breathability to keep you comfy on the ascent. The jacket has a light, thin, three-layer construction to pack down small when getting wet is the least of your concerns.
