Breathable, waterproof, durable and comfortable, the Verbier Jacket blends freeride style with big-mountain performance.

First introduced to the public in 2019, The North Face’s FUTURELIGHT™ technology has shaken up the performance outerwear market. The result of a three-year development process, this proprietary material utilizes nanotechnology—so-called “nano-spinning”—to create a membrane that’s both waterproof and air-permeable. To dumb that down a bit for you ski-obsessed knuckleheads out there: Water gets out, but it doesn’t get in.

The Summit Series is The North Face’s top-shelf outerwear collection, designed to perform in the most inclement conditions for some of the world’s top athletes—so of course it’s got FUTURELIGHT™ integrated. Today we’re taking a look at the Women’s Summit Verbier jacket.
