What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This vest is a great piece for kids who are always on the move—it’s warm, super lightweight, and layers easily over hoodies or fleece. The mix of down in the body and synthetic in the hood means it stays warm even when the weather shifts. Perfect for dry, chilly days at school or on the trail." When the temps drop but the adventure keeps going, The North Face North Down Hooded Vest keeps young explorers warm without weighing them down. Insulated with 600-fill recycled down in the body and HEATSEEKER™ synthetic insulation in the hood, this vest balances loft, warmth, and durability for chilly outings from school to weekend hikes. Recycled polyester fabric with a non-PFC DWR finish helps shed light moisture, and the horizontal quilting gives it a clean, sporty look. The three-piece hood adds extra coverage for cold mornings, while zippered hand pockets keep fingers warm or stash snacks on the go. Lightweight, packable, and made with recycled materials throughout, it’s a winter essential built for movement and everyday comfort.
