When summer adventures take you from cool mountain mornings to windy alpine ridges and surprise afternoon showers, having the right layer can make all the difference. The latest collection from The North Face focuses on lightweight, packable apparel that's easy to bring along without weighing you down. Whether you're heading out for a day hike, traveling to a new destination, or simply looking for versatile pieces that work from trail to town, these jackets, vests, and shoes are built to adapt to changing conditions while keeping comfort front and center.
A dependable rain shell is one of the smartest pieces you can carry, and the Men's Alta Vista Jacket checks all the right boxes. Built with waterproof DRYVENT™ protection and wind-resistant performance, it's designed to handle unexpected weather without sacrificing breathability. Pit zips help dump heat during tough climbs, while the jacket packs into its own chest pocket, making it easy to stash in a backpack when the skies clear. Better yet, it's constructed from 100% recycled materials, making it an easy choice for hikers and travelers looking for sustainable performance.
For cool mornings, breezy ridgelines, and fast-paced adventures, the Men's Ridgelite FUTUREFLEECE™ Wind Jacket offers an impressive balance of warmth and minimal weight. WINDWALL™ fabric blocks chilly gusts while FUTUREFLEECE™ technology delivers exceptional warmth without adding bulk. The result is a layer that's comfortable enough to wear while moving and compact enough to disappear into your pack when temperatures rise. It's the kind of jacket you'll reach for whether you're trail running, hiking, or simply exploring a new destination.
Some outdoor gear becomes iconic for good reason. The 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest blends classic mountain style with modern performance thanks to oversized baffles, 700-fill recycled down insulation, and a durable water-repellent exterior. It provides serious warmth while remaining surprisingly lightweight and packable, making it an excellent layering option for cool mornings at camp, crisp fall hikes, or evenings around the fire. Even decades after its debut, it's still one of The North Face's most recognizable and versatile pieces.
Adventure rarely sticks to one type of terrain, and the Men's Ultra 112 Waterproof Shoes are built with that in mind. Inspired by The North Face's trail-running heritage, they combine waterproof DRYVENT™ protection with breathable construction and a grippy SURFACE CTRL™ outsole that performs confidently on everything from muddy trails to rocky overlooks. Whether you're hiking all day or navigating unpredictable weather while traveling, these shoes are ready for wherever the trail leads.
The Women's Ridgelite FUTUREFLEECE™ Wind Jacket is designed for those days when conditions seem to change every mile. WINDWALL™ technology keeps cool winds at bay while FUTUREFLEECE™ insulation delivers lightweight warmth without feeling bulky. Its packable design makes it easy to toss into a daypack, giving you an extra layer whenever temperatures dip or breezes pick up. It's an ideal companion for hiking, sightseeing, or everyday adventures where flexibility matters.
Simple, reliable, and ready for changing weather, the Women's Quest Jacket is the type of shell every outdoor wardrobe should include. Waterproof DRYVENT™ technology keeps rain outside while breathable construction prevents overheating when you're on the move. The streamlined design layers easily over everything from base layers to lightweight fleece, making it equally useful on weekend hikes, road trips, and everyday commutes. Built from 100% recycled fabrics, it also brings sustainability into the equation without compromising performance.
When temperatures begin to cool, the Women's Diamond Peak Insulated Jacket delivers comfortable warmth with a clean, modern look. WINDWALL™ fabric blocks the breeze while HEATSEEKER™ synthetic insulation provides dependable warmth, even in damp conditions. The oversized fit makes layering easy, and the quilted design transitions seamlessly from the trail to casual outings around town. It's a versatile piece that's equally at home on shoulder-season hikes or cool evenings spent outdoors.
Not every adventure calls for hiking boots. The Women's Explore Camp Sandals are built for everything from campground mornings and river walks to travel days and post-hike recovery. Plush EVA cushioning keeps feet comfortable throughout the day, adjustable straps provide a secure fit, and the SURFACE CTRL™ outsole offers dependable traction on a variety of surfaces. They're lightweight, comfortable, and versatile enough to become a go-to option all summer long.
Changing weather shouldn't keep you from getting outside. Whether you're chasing alpine views, exploring a new city, or heading out on a weekend camping trip, The North Face's latest collection delivers lightweight performance that adapts to wherever the day takes you. From waterproof shells and breathable wind jackets to versatile footwear and iconic insulated layers, these pieces are built to help you stay comfortable, prepared, and ready for your next adventure.
