Spring Jackets for Men & Women

Spring is a season of change. Flowers are blooming, trees grow leaves again, days get longer, weather becomes unpredictable, and temperatures fluctuate. These last two are the reason you need a solid spring jacket when outside. Whether you are looking for a durable spring jacket for outdoor adventures or a versatile lightweight coat for your daily commute, you're sure to find something you'll love at The North Face.

What is a spring jacket?

A spring jacket is a lightweight, versatile piece of outerwear meant to protect against wind and light rain. It is designed to be layered over shirts or light sweaters. Unlike men's and women's winter coats, a spring coat may offer moderate warmth but not heavy insulation, heat retention capability, and extreme weather defense.

Types of spring jackets include rain jackets and anoraks, trench coats, and windbreakers. Lightweight fleece jackets and pullovers are also great in transitional seasons like fall and spring.

You'll find spring jackets from The North Face that suit all adventures, from rugged hikes to jogs and weekend outings.

What To Look For In A Spring Jacket

Spring weather asks you to be ready for anything. That's why a jacket is the make-or-break element of any spring adventure outfit. When the rain comes in or the cold breeze makes it feel like winter is already back, you'll be happy that your jacket is water- and wind-proof.

Here are the essential qualities of any spring jacket:

Water-resistant and windproof materials like those found in rain shells.

Adjustable cuffs and waist to help seal out the wind.

Packable jackets so you can take your outerwear on the go or on your next vacation.

A hood to help stay dry in drizzly weather.

For a middle layer that complements spring jackets perfectly, shop men's and women's vests. You'll warm your core all day and you can wear less sleeves when the sun comes out.
