Is the Freedom Insulated warm enough for cold resort days?

Yes. HEATSEEKER synthetic insulation is designed for cold lift-served days, and it keeps warmth when damp. For extreme cold, layer a midlayer underneath.

Is it waterproof or only water-resistant?

It is waterproof. The DRYVENT 2L shell with a fluorine-free DWR finish is built to keep you dry in snow and wet weather.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

Yes. The attached hood is helmet-compatible and fully adjustable.

How does it compare with a shell-only ski jacket?

The Freedom adds insulation, so it is warmer and bulkier. A shell is lighter and more packable but needs layers for cold days.

What is the fit and length?

It has a regular fit and a low-hip length, with an internal hem cinch-cord for adjustment.

Is it made with recycled materials?

Yes. The body fabric is 93% recycled nylon, the main lining is 100% recycled polyester, and the upper-back lining is 80% recycled nylon.

About the The North Face Freedom Insulated Women's Winter Jacket

The Freedom Insulated Jacket is a ski and snowboard jacket with a regular fit and a low-hip length. The body fabric has elastane stretch for comfort and mobility. The lining is body-mapped, with added stretch at the center back.

It has a waterproof, breathable DRYVENT 2L shell with a fluorine-free DWR finish. HEATSEEKER synthetic insulation uses hollow-core fibers for added warmth. The center front and chest pocket zips are exposed and polyurethane-coated.

The hood is attached, fully adjustable and helmet-compatible. An internal powder skirt with gripper elastic and underarm vents with mesh lining help keep out snow. The jacket has several pockets, a media loop for cord routing and a chin guard with a brushed-tricot lining.
