Staying shielded from the wind on blustery days
This The North Face puffer features WindWall™ technology, which the brand describes as designed to protect you from the wind while still allowing good breathability. That makes it an option to reach for when you want wind coverage without overheating during wear.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Water-Resistant Loose Mid-Length Puffer Jacket: Choose this if you want a mid-thigh puffer with a relaxed, loose A-line cut, a tall padded funnel collar, and a large attached hood for full coverage in cold, windy weather. Its nylon shell with a durable water-repellent treatment, polyester fill, WindWall technology designed to block wind while maintaining good breathability, two-way zip under a snap flap, adjustable inner-toggle waist, and zipped front pockets suit everyday wet-weather and blustery-conditions wear. Note that the wind protection and breathability are described as the technology's design intent rather than reported outcomes, and the insulation is synthetic polyester rather than down.[1,2,3] | Thermoball Quilted Jacket: Choose this if you want a featherlight, packable layer: it weighs about 13.5 ounces and stows into its own right-hand pocket, and reviewers picked it as a travel favorite. Its ThermoBall insulation is designed to stay evenly distributed when compressed or wet, and the recycled WINDWALL fabric is flexible, breathable, and highly wind-resistant with a PFC-free water-repellent finish. It's best treated as a layering item rather than a heavy winter coat—some wearers found it not super warm enough for northern winters—and sizing reportedly runs large, so consider sizing down or checking a size chart before ordering.[4,5,6,7,8] | Junction Polar-Fleece-Collar Quilted Jacket: Choose this if you want a waist-length, lightweight quilted jacket in Black with a high stand collar lined in soft polar fleece that rises to chin level when zipped. Its even grid of square quilted baffles covers the body and long set-in sleeves, with two vertical zippered hand pockets at hip level and a subtle waist shaping for a slightly narrower silhouette. It is cut in a 100% polyester shell, lining, and filling, offered in sizes X-Small through X-Large; note the hem sits at the waist with a slightly curved shape, so it is not a longer-coverage style.[9,10,11,12] |
