Description of The North Face Heathen Jacket - Women's:
The North Face built the Women’s Heathen Jacket for light-and-fast summit pushes when you need bomber waterproof protection. The Heathen features Gore-Tex Pro Shell, a super lightweight, breathable fabric that seals out the weather. The helmet-compatible hood has a laminated brim to prevent drips on your face and in your eyes, since it’s nice to be able to see when you’re negotiating a vertical face. Hand pockets on this The North Face shell won’t get covered by your harness, and underarm zippers let you cool off when kick it into high gear.
Bottom Line: A storm might be raging outside, but your dry inside the lightweight Heathen.
This is one of the best all-around shells on the market. This jacket covers it all- it is extremely light weight and packable, excellent gortex material that shields you from all the elements completely, great pit zips and 2 big pocket zips, and a well designed hood to protect from wind & snow etc. The surf blue color is really bright and quite fun. The female cut on the jacket is excellent, leaving room for layering underneath as well as some stretch for movement. This is a great shell for touring, climbing, running, and even skiing on the area. Extremely versatile and aggressive jacket that will give you your money's worth.
