What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I’ve been wearing the Summit Verbier GTX Jacket all season, and it’s my go-to for lift laps and sidecountry drops. It’s burly enough for storm days, has a dialed freeride fit, and the venting and storage are exactly where you want them when you’re riding hard." We ride harder when we know our kit can keep up, and the Summit Verbier GTX Jacket from The North Face delivers the durability and weatherproofing we need to chase lines all season long. With a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX 3L shell, this freeride-ready jacket shields us from brutal weather while maintaining the breathability we crave when hiking for turns or ripping hot laps. Every detail is mountain-focused: the helmet-compatible hood adjusts easily on the fly, the underarm vents dump heat without exposing us to the elements, and the integrated powder skirt locks out snow on deep days. From resort to sidecountry, the articulated fit moves with us, and the chest, alpine, and sleeve pockets keep our essentials close at hand without adding bulk. This is the one we trust when the terrain gets steep and the forecast gets wild.
