"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve been wearing the Tekware 1/4-Zip on variable weather days—it’s super breathable and light but gives just enough protection against wind and drizzle. The cropped fit is great over a tank or high-waisted layer, and the articulated seams really help with mobility when I’m on the go."" For days when the weather flips between sun and showers, we throw on The North Face Tekware 1/4-Zip Jacket and keep moving. Designed with a relaxed, cropped silhouette and built from performance fabric, this layer delivers a perfect balance of everyday style and outdoor functionality. Whether we’re commuting, stretching it out post-trail, or running errands between rainstorms, it’s light, breathable, and ready for anything. FlashDry™ fabric pulls moisture away from the body to keep us comfortable on the move, and the non-PFC DWR treatment adds a layer of rain resistance without sacrificing breathability. Articulated seams boost mobility, while the stand collar, quarter zip, and encased elastic hems lock in a casual-but-functional fit. It’s the one we grab for unpredictable days when performance and style need to go hand in hand."
