Is the Tek Approach jacket waterproof?

No. It is water-repellent and wind-resistant, so it handles drizzle and light snow but not steady rain. Carry a shell for wet days.

It is a lightweight fleece-lined soft shell, best for spring and fall. It works as a mid layer under a shell in colder weather.

It has a regular fit with a 27-inch center back length in size M. Size up if you plan to layer a thick fleece underneath.

The shell uses wind-resistant WINDWALL polyester fabric with a grid-patterned fleece lining; the collar facing is 92% recycled polyester.

What features does it have?

Secure-zip hand pockets, elasticated cuffs, a drawcord hem and a scuba hood with binding.

How does it compare with the rest of its range?

It sits at the light, packable end of wind-resistant soft shells, with a grid fleece lining and a scuba hood. Rivals that add a waterproof membrane block rain better but breathe less and feel stiffer.

About the The North Face Men's Tek Approach Jacket

The Tek Approach is a lightweight men's soft-shell jacket built for windy hikes and gusty days. It pairs a wind-resistant WINDWALL fleece face with a grid-patterned fleece lining, a scuba hood and a drawcord hem. It is a spring-weight layer rather than a winter jacket, so it competes with other wind-blocking soft shells on breathability and packability, not on warmth. Buyers rate it 4.7 out of 5 from 90 ratings and treat it as a dependable light wind layer for hiking and everyday wear.

Best forHikers and walkers on windy spring daysBuyers wanting a light fleece layer under a shellMen who prefer a regular fit with a hoodShoulder-season outdoor use

WINDWALL fabric blocks wind while staying breathable
