Is the Cirque warm enough for cold resort days?

Yes for most resort skiing. Down in the body, hood and sleeves plus synthetic insulation in the yoke, lower hood and underarms covers the cold spots. On very cold days, add a midlayer, keeping the slim fit in mind.

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

The Cirque is warmer for its weight thanks to the down, and the synthetic zones handle moisture where you sweat. A synthetic-only jacket dries faster and stays warm when soaked, so it suits wet, mild climates better.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

Yes. The hood is adjustable and helmet-compatible.

What is the fit like?

It is a slim fit. Size up or plan thin layers if you want room for a fleece or puffy underneath.

Does it have a powder skirt and pass pocket?

Yes. It has a stretch powder skirt with silicone gripper tape, wrist gaiters with thumbholes, an internal goggle pocket and a dedicated wrist pass pocket.

Is the down treatment water-resistant?

The shell is waterproof with a non-PFC DWR finish, but the 550-fill down itself is not described as water-resistant. In sustained wet conditions, the synthetic zones in the yoke and underarms are the protection.

About the The North Face Women's Cirque Down Jacket

The North Face Women's Cirque Down Jacket is a slim-fit ski and snowboard jacket. It uses DryVent 2L construction for waterproof, breathable performance. A non-PFC DWR finish adds water repellency for snowy conditions.

Insulation combines 550-fill goose down with targeted Heatseeker Eco Advanced synthetic insulation. Down is used in the main body, hood and sleeves. Synthetic insulation is placed in the front and back yoke, lower hood and underarm panels.

The hood is adjustable and helmet-compatible. Underarm vents release excess heat. A stretch powder skirt with silicone gripper tape helps keep snow out, and stretch-knit wrist gaiters have thumbholes. Pockets include secure-zip hand pockets, an internal chest pocket, a wrist pocket with goggle wipe, two internal mesh drop-in pockets and an internal media pocket with media port.
