Our take on the The North Face Men's Summit Cayesh GTX Pro Jacket

The North Face Summit Cayesh GTX Pro is an uninsulated, hip-length hardshell built for climbing and ski touring. It uses a 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro membrane with ripstop face fabric, a helmet-compatible hood, two harness- and pack-compatible chest pockets, and zipped underarm vents. At $682 at Slam Jam as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range; this is a premium alpine shell, not a value pick.

Pros
  • 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro keeps out wind and rain while staying breathable on hard efforts
  • Two zipped chest pockets sit above a harness and clear pack straps
  • Zipped underarm vents plus laser-cut perforations dump heat fast
  • Articulated elbows and patterning free up reach for technical moves
  • Helmet-compatible hood and two-way zipper suit climbing and touring
  • Ripstop face fabric resists abrasion from rock and pack straps
Cons
  • No insulation, so it needs a midlayer in cold conditions
  • Only two pockets, both on the chest; no hand pockets
  • $682 is a steep price and sits at the high end of its recent range
  • Standard fit with a 53–56 in chest range may run roomy for slim builds
  • Hood and alpine cut add bulk for casual everyday wear

Questions and answers

Is the Summit Cayesh GTX Pro worth $682?
It is a top-tier GORE-TEX Pro alpine shell, so the price buys durability and breathability that cheaper 2.5-layer jackets lack. If you climb or tour often in wet, windy conditions, it earns its keep; for occasional hiking, a lighter shell costs far less.
How does it compare with the standard Summit Series shells?
The Cayesh is the lighter, more climbing-focused cut, with chest pockets placed for harness and pack access and no insulation. Heavier Summit shells add pockets and a burlier face fabric but weigh more.
Does it have insulation?
No. It is an uninsulated shell, so you pair it with a fleece or synthetic midlayer for cold days. That makes it versatile across seasons but not warm on its own.
What is the fit and sizing like?
It has a standard fit with a 53–56 in chest range and a 29.86 in back length, so it layers over a midlayer without feeling tight. Slim builds may want to size down.
What is in the box?
The jacket only; no stuff sack or extra accessories are included. It packs into its own hood or pocket for travel.
When is it cheapest?
Alpine shells usually drop during end-of-season sales in late winter and spring and around major holiday promotions. The current $682 at Slam Jam is at the high end of its recent range, so waiting for a markdown is reasonable.
