The North Face Men’s Summit Breithorn Vest

Summit Series®. Core Warmth. Total Freedom.

The The North Face Men’s Summit Breithorn Vest takes the technical pedigree of the Summit Series® Breithorn and expresses it in the most active and most agile form in the range. A sleeveless down vest built to The North Face’s most exacting alpine specification, the Breithorn Vest delivers the exceptional core warmth of the full hoodie with complete freedom at the arms — the ideal configuration for high-output alpine activity where the core needs protecting and the arms need to move without restriction. Named after the Breithorn — the 4,164m peak on the Swiss-Italian border above Zermatt — this vest carries the Summit Series® commitment to performance without compromise into its most versatile and most active silhouette.

Key Features

• Premium down insulation — high-fill-power goose down delivering exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio in a compressible, packable construction
• Pertex® Quantum shell — an ultralight, wind-resistant face fabric that protects the down fill and keeps the overall weight to an absolute minimum
• Sleeveless construction — complete arm freedom for high-output alpine climbing, skiing, and technical mountain activity
• Elasticated hem — a secure, draught-excluding fit that seals against base layers and shells in the layering system
• Zip chest pocket doubles as stuff sack — the piece packs into its own pocket for minimal pack volume on approach and at the belay
• Summit Series® detailing — the branding of The North Face’s most technically advanced and most expedition-tested outerwear range

The Active Layer. The Alpine Standard.

The vest is the layering piece that serious alpinists reach for when warmth and freedom of movement are simultaneously non-negotiable — and the Summit Breithorn Vest is built to the standard that the most demanding objectives require. It delivers exceptional core insulation without any of the arm restriction that a full down hoodie creates during technical climbing, allowing total freedom on the moves that matter most while protecting the body’s core temperature throughout. Use it as the warmth layer in a complete alpine system under a GORE-TEX® or FUTURELIGHT™ shell; wear it as a standalone piece at the belay or in camp when the temperature drops but the pace stays high; or pack it into its own chest pocket for the summit push when pack volume and weight are at a premium. The Summit Breithorn Vest — the alpine core layer, perfected.

The Alps. The Summit Series®. The North Face Breithorn Vest.
