Our take on the The North Face Flare 2 Insulated 550-Down Full Zip Puffer Jacket

The Flare 2 is a men's full-zip puffer from The North Face filled with 550-fill down and wrapped in a polyester shell. It is a mid-weight winter layer: warm enough for cold city days and light enough to pack down and stuff into a bag. It sits below the brand's heavier expedition parkas and above its thin synthetic liners, so it suits layering more than deep-cold exposure. Owners like the warmth-to-weight ratio and the simple zip-front design.

Pros
  • 550-fill down gives strong warmth for its weight
  • Full-zip front with pockets for hands and small items
  • Packs down smaller than a bulky parka
  • Simple solid-color look that works with most outfits
  • Available across XS to XXL
Cons
  • Hand wash only, which is less convenient than machine washing
  • Not waterproof; the polyester shell sheds light drizzle at best
  • 550 fill is mid-tier down, not the warmest for extreme cold
  • Down loses insulation when wet

Questions and answers

Is the Flare 2 warm enough for winter?
It handles cold city days and layering well. For deep cold or long exposure, wear it under a shell or choose a higher-fill jacket.
Is it waterproof?
No. The polyester shell resists light drizzle but is not waterproof, and down loses insulation when soaked.
Can it be machine washed?
The care instructions call for hand washing. Follow the label and use a down-specific cleaner, then dry thoroughly.
How does it compare with The North Face Nuptse?
The Nuptse uses higher-fill down and a bulkier build for colder conditions. The Flare 2 is lighter and easier to pack.
Does it run true to size?
Most owners find it true to size. If you plan to layer a sweater underneath, consider sizing up.
What sizes are available?
It comes in XS through XXL in TNF Black.
