Uses

A windproof layer for blustery, damp days

The North Face built this quilted jacket from windproof Pertex Quantum® nylon, and the fabric carries a water-repellent treatment meant to add extra protection from the weather. That makes it a candidate for windy days when some rain or wet weather is in the mix.[1]

Aconcagua 2 Puffer Vest Relaxed Style

The North Face

simons.ca

Pertex Explore Quilted Jacket: Choose this if you want a windproof, water-repellent quilted jacket for everyday wear: it pairs Pertex Quantum® nylon with polyester insulation and a filled stand-up collar for extra weather protection. Its boxy, waist-length cut with large front hand pockets and a two-way zip suits casual layering rather than deep-cold expedition use, and cuffs are simple rather than ribbed or elasticated. It comes in sizes from SMALL to X-LARGE.[1,2,3]Aconcagua 2 Puffer Vest Relaxed Style: Choose this if you want a sleeveless puffer layer that pairs 550 RDS-certified goose down with Heatseeker insulation in the side panels and shoulders, wrapped in lightweight quilted recycled polyester with a PFC-free water-repellent finish. Its relaxed, boxy cut, high stand collar, and hem drawcords suit casual everyday wear over other layers. Note that one reviewer found it less warm and less puffy-looking than the more heavily filled Nuptse vest, so look elsewhere if maximum warmth is the priority.[4,5,6]
