What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This jacket punches above its weight. The hybrid insulation keeps me warm on cold hikes but doesn’t overheat when I’m moving, and the synthetic panels really help in damp weather. The recycled fabric feels durable, and it layers well without feeling bulky." We reach for the Aconcagua 3 Jacket when cold days call for lightweight warmth that still performs in unpredictable conditions. The North Face combines recycled down with recycled synthetic insulation throughout the body to create a balanced warmth-to-weight feel that’s cozy without being bulky. In high-moisture zones—like the shoulders, underarms, and sides—synthetic sheet insulation boosts breathability and maintains warmth even when mist or light snow is in the air. The fully recycled shell fabric includes a PFC-free water-repellent finish that helps shed light precipitation, giving this jacket the adaptability we need for winter walks, cool hikes, and everyday outings. With a standard fit that layers comfortably over baselayers or sweaters, the Aconcagua 3 offers dependable warmth and an earth-friendly construction we feel good wearing all season long.
