What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I brought the FUTURELIGHT AMK Jacket on a fast summit push in the Eastern Sierra, and it performed way above expectations. It’s ultralight but feels substantial in rough conditions, breathes incredibly well, and the pack access points made it easy to adjust layers and reach snacks on the move." We trust the Summit FUTURELIGHT AMK Jacket from The North Face when weight, breathability, and weatherproofing are non-negotiable on high-alpine missions. Designed in collaboration with elite mountaineers, this shell is built to handle high-output movement and brutal elements on demanding vertical terrain. The FUTURELIGHT 3L fabric delivers a game-changing combo of waterproof protection and air-permeable breathability, letting us push hard without soaking in our own effort. Ergonomic patterning ensures full mobility during technical moves, while alpine-ready features—like harness-compatible zips and a helmet-compatible hood—keep it perfectly dialed for climbing. We stay protected, ventilated, and totally focused, whether we’re tackling big walls, ridgelines, or glacial approaches.
