Note on Technical Specs: While this item is often compared to a softshell due to its incredible mobility and breathability, the Summit Series Chamlang is actually a high-performance FUTURELIGHT™ 3L Hardshell. This is The North Face’s most advanced breathable-waterproof technology, designed specifically for the extreme conditions of high-alpine mountaineering and climbing.
Developed in collaboration with TNF elite athletes, this jacket features articulated patterning for a tailored female fit that doesn't restrict movement during overhead reaches. The 70D recycled nylon fabric provides a "soft" hand-feel with "hard" shell protection against wind and heavy precipitation.
