Snowsports Feature Guide

The North Face Snowsports Collection continues to deliver innovative gear through cutting-edge features, ground-breaking technologies, and pioneering fabrics and designs to deliver top-performing jackets and pants for all of your downhill needs.

Features Include:

Helmet compatible hood: Because sometimes pulling a jacket’s hood over a helmet is like trying to squeeze a grapefruit into a sandwich bag. Helmet compatible hoods accommodate several helmet sizes, while still allowing the wearer full head rotation without unnecessary pulling or pressure.

Detachable hood:Either zip or snap off hoods to adjust to changing conditions.

Recco system: An electronic avalanche rescue system that consists of a small, nearly weightless transponder, more easily detected by a mountain search-and-rescue team.

External Security pockets with chamois

Goggle pocket

Adjustable powder skirt with pant-a-locks: Create a seamless barrier against you and deep powder stashes.

Waist adjust tabs: Adjust for a precise fit with Velcro® tabs

Reinforced kickpatch

Extended leg vents

Hem cinch cord: Ward-off upward gusts of wind and snow.

Zip integration: Fasten pants to a jacket’s powder skirt for the ultimate protection, in an easy-on/off manner.

Retractable pass holder: Secure your lift ticket or season pass with this permanent holder.

Rotated core vents: Cool your core without restricting movement.

Internal security/media pocket

Hood volume adjuster and attachment zipper: Cinch and zip the adjustments on the back of the hood to secure a precise, close-to-head fit for optimal performance.
