Is the Breithorn warm enough on its own in winter?

It is a heavyweight down midlayer, so it works alone in mild cold but is meant to sit under a shell in real winter conditions. Pair it with a hardshell for alpine use.

How does the fit run?

It is a slim fitted cut with raglan sleeves. Most shoppers should size up if they plan to layer a fleece underneath.

Yes. The jacket compresses small enough to stuff into a climbing pack for summit pushes.

What fill does it use?

It uses 100% down fill, listed as 800-fill ProDown, which is water-resistant treated down.

This model has no hood. It is designed as a layer under a hooded shell.

Down jackets from The North Face tend to drop in price at end-of-season sales and around late fall. Check the price history before buying.

Our take on the The North Face Women's Summit Series Breithorn Down Jacket

The Summit Series Breithorn is The North Face's lightweight down puffer built for alpine climbing and cold-weather layering. It uses 800-fill ProDown with a slim, hip-length cut, raglan sleeves and a packable design. It is a technical piece, not a casual winter coat, and the slim fit runs close to the body.
