About Men's Jackets at The North Face
For years, The North Face has been the go-to for men's jackets and outerwear. Whether you want to stay warm on the trail, on the slopes, or on the streets, you'll find everything from lightweight, softshell styles for the shoulder seasons (fall and spring) to insulated down parkas and stylish puffer coats for the snowiest days of winter.
Whichever men’s jacket you choose, you’ll stay toasty with a range of features. While some have Heatseeker™ insulation with hollow-core fibers for high-level durability, others include blown ThermoBall™ insulation, which will keep you warm even in cold, wet weather. For additional warmth, invest in men's Triclimate® styles that can accompany you on any adventure, no matter the conditions.
Beyond warmth, our men’s outerwear comes with weatherproof features like zoned 90% recycled polyester sheet insulation, seam-sealed DryVent™ shells, or wind-resistant Windwall™ fabric. Each is made to keep you dry on those icy, wet, or snowy days.
Materials aside, you can choose a men’s jacket with features that further boost warmth retention. Some men's puffers come with an internal drawcord with cord locks at the hem, which you can adjust to fit seamlessly against your body. Some also feature oversized baffles that create a barrier against the cold as they hold additional insulating materials.
Other coats come with an adjustable hood that won’t slip down thanks to a cinch cord and cord lock on the reverse. Alternatively, choose a jacket for men with a three-piece hood that you can remove on warmer days.
You can also choose outerwear with features that support ventilation. For example, the Alta Vista style comes with pit-zip venting, which releases built-up heat and moisture to stop you from overheating.
How To Choose a Jacket - FAQs
Are you braving winter temps or just need a light outer layer?
For cold weather, look for insulated styles like our Nuptse collection, featuring 700-fill down.
For mild conditions or active pursuits like hiking and running, try a windbreaker or softshell style.
For all-season versatility, consider a Triclimate® 3-in-1 jacket, with removable layers to adapt to changing weather.
Wet weather? Choose FUTURELIGHT™ for breathable, waterproof protection. Also consider the cuffs and hem. Adjustable and cinched cuffs and hems offer additional protection from wind, rain, and snow.
Traveling? Try a packable style like the First Dawn.
Jogging? Look for reflective details and consider the breathability of the fabric.
Puffer jackets, especially our Nuptse styles, are trending and functional. Fleece jackets offer a timeless, casual look – great for après-ski, workdays, or everyday layering.
Most of our men’s jackets fall at or just below the waist. But if you want more coverage, try a men’s parka or trench — great for staying dry in rain or warm in deep cold.
Classic colors like black, tan, gray, and navy are always in style. But if you want to stand out, explore bold hues like red, green, or yellow, or limited-edition prints and collabs.
