Winter Parkas

On the hunt for the perfect all-around women’s jacket? Look no further than the Aconcagua Parka. This midweight, cold-weather workhorse gets you through winter — from the first sign of frost in late autumn straight through spring.
A mix of down and synthetic material insulates the 100% recycled body fabric. Head-to-knee quilted coverage provides ample warmth without excess bulk for a modern, streamlined look. WindWall technology helps fight bone-chilling gusts on the most blustery nights of the season.

Rated as one of The North Face’s warmest women’s jackets, the Hydrenalite Down Parka keeps you toasty when the temperature fluctuates between cold and frigid. The 600-fill recycled down insulation provides head-to-knee coverage and traps heat without added weight and bulk.
Plus, the 100% recycled lining and outer material with a DWR finish lets you confidently brave the elements — no matter what the weather app says. On the coldest days, utilize the internal draft flap and fasten the hook-and-loop closure to secure the storm flap for ultimate protection from the cold.
McMurdo Parka – Men’s: $400
If you want to invest in versatile winter gear, look for warm, windproof, waterproof garments. The McMurdo Parka rates high all of the above. Insulated with 600-fill recycled down, this winter-ready, everyday parka is one of the warmest men’s jackets on The North Face roster.
The DryVent shell provides breathable waterproof coverage. An extra-long cut — the brand’s longest offering for men — ensures maximum heat retention, while adjustable hook-and-loop cuff tabs help to keep heat and the elements out. Bonus points for the well-placed alpine pockets and stylish, removable faux fur collar.
TNF Range Down Parka – Men’s: $400
The ultimate defense against winter conditions, the Range Down Parka is made for extreme weather. A staple of The North Face lineup, this design has been tried and tweaked over the years to combine the warmth of a puffer with the protection of a waterproof, seam-sealed shell — making this parka an absolute powerhouse of cold-weather protection.
The parka employs strategic insulation placement for maximum heat retention, with 600-fill recycled down throughout the lower body and Heatseeker Eco Synthetic Insulation in the upper baffle, hood, and sleeves.
A two-layer waterproof shell with a DWR finish and AquaGuard water-repellant zippers keep you dry in any conditions. The parka’s slightly looser fit accommodates extra layers to further fortify against the cold.
Snowsports Jackets
Lenado Jacket – Women’s: $370
An essential outer shell for any female shredder who is always in for one more run, the Lenado has it all. This slim-fit design uses Heatseeker advanced synthetic fill to achieve a high warmth-to-weight ratio. The result? Heat retention without added bulk for ultimate packability.
Regulate your temperature through changing conditions with underarm vents, and tackle off-trail adventures with confidence, thanks to fully taped seams and a stretch powder skirt. A sizeable mesh drop pocket and hand pockets provide ample storage for the essentials, while a wrist pocket with a built-in goggle wipe helps ensure you have the best visibility all day long.
Chakal Insulated Jacket – Men’s: $370

This snowsport-ready jacket is chock-full of tech to make whole days on the hill more enjoyable. The two-layer DryVent shell keeps you dry, no matter what weather is in the forecast. When the sun is out, or you’re cranking out lap after lap, underarm vents help regulate temperature.
A fully removable, helmet-compatible hood and integrated powder skirt lend themselves to stormy weather and powder days. As a fun bonus, the wrist pocket houses a built-in goggle wipe to ensure you see as clearly as conditions allow on every run.
ThermoBall Snow Triclimate Jacket – Men’s & Women’s: $400

The jacket has a two-layer waterproof shell with DryVent technology that balances protection with breathability. With underarm ventilation and pockets aplenty, the shell performs in all kinds of conditions on the mountain.
Wear this outer layer independently, or add the zip-in insulated liner for maximum warmth. The inner puffy holds loft and retains heat, even when wet — making it a great standalone option for hanging at the lodge or going out on the town.
Winter Boots & Accessories

Designed with growth spurts in mind, the Freedom Insulated Bib ensures young winter athletes get the most out of gear — no matter how much height they gain throughout the season.
