What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've used the Devils Thumb GTX Jacket in pounding storms, and it's totally bomber. The GORE-TEX holds up in heavy weather, and the Spectra(R) ripstop in high-wear zones gives it real toughness for alpine use. The pit zips and pack-compatible pockets are must-haves for big missions." From icy ascents to storm-chased summits, we count on The North Face TNF High Kinetics Extreme Devils Thumb GTX Jacket to hold up when the weather turns wild. Designed with rugged mountain conditions in mind, this jacket features a two-layer GORE-TEX shell built to keep us dry and moving through extended exposure. It layers easily with a relaxed fit and moves naturally thanks to its strategically zoned construction. The main body and lining are made from fully recycled polyester, while abrasion-prone zones-like the yoke, shoulders, and lower back-are reinforced with Spectra(R) ripstop for next-level durability without extra weight. Pit zips regulate internal heat, a stowable hood with back-cinch adjustment locks in weather protection, and AquaGuard(R) zippers block moisture where it matters most. From alpine treks to cold storm laps, this jacket has the technical features and long-haul build we need when "turning back" isn't part of the plan.
