The North Face Freethinker FUTURELIGHT Women's Shell Jacket raises the bar even higher for breathable-waterproof clothing. FUTURELIGHT 3L is a new 3-layer, nano-fiber fabric that protects against the elements in the harshest environments. This lightweight shell is engineered to provide extreme waterproofing and breathability, making it the ultimate big mountain jacket. It doesn't require heat build up on the inside for it to maximize breathability thanks to the thin, tricot back panel and it maintains an even level of moisture management for consistent comfort- even if you have cooled off or are just standing around. Plus, it has a DWR finish and waterproof zippers for an added moisture barrier. FUTURELIGHT 3L is several times quieter than Gore-Tex, eVent, or any other nylon-based fabric. Rather than the loud whooshing sound that most windbreakers regularly make, this ultra-thin, lightweight shell has a smooth feeling as it brushes against itself. Additionally, with the face and back layers crafted with 90% recycled materials, it's the most sustainably-produced fabric to date from The North Face.
