NORTHFACE ALTA VISTA JACKET - TNF BLACK-NPF

This is a lightweight, packable shell jacket built for outdoor use and variable weather. “NPF” denotes the non‑PFAS durable water‑repellent (DWR) finish, making it a more environmentally conscious option. The TNF Black colourway gives it a clean, timeless look that works in both urban and trail settings. 

Materials & Construction

• The shell is made from a DryVent™ 2.5‑layer fabric, which provides waterproof and windproof protection while remaining breathable. 

• Fabric is 100% recycled nylon with a non‑PFC DWR finish. 

• Construction features include seam‑sealed joints, an adjustable three‑piece hood with drawcords, pit‑zip venting under the arms for breathability, and a stow‑in‑pocket design so the jacket can pack into itself. 

• Other details: Exposed front zipper with zipper‑garage at the neck, secure‑zip hand pockets plus a vertical chest pocket, adjustable hook‑and‑loop cuffs, internal storm‑flap hem adjust, and printed lining. 

Fit & Style

• Fit: Standard/regular fit — designed to accommodate layering underneath without being overly bulky. 

• Colour: TNF Black‑NPF — deep black with the non‑PFAS finish, giving a sleek aesthetic.

• Use: Suitable for hiking, commuting in rainy or windy conditions, travel, or general outdoor use where protection from elements is needed.

Benefits

• Provides solid protection from wind and rain via the DryVent™ membrane and DWR finish.

• Breathability and venting features (pit zip) help regulate body heat during activity.

• The packable nature means you can stow it quickly when not needed without taking much space.

• Eco‑conscious materials and finishes reflect more sustainable construction.

• Versatile styling in black makes it usable beyond outdoor use, fitting into everyday wardrobe.

Considerations

• It is a shell jacket (lightweight and protective) rather than insulated — so on cold days you will likely need a mid‑layer underneath for warmth.

• While waterproof, it’s not designed for extreme downpour or mountaineering conditions where heavier shells with more advanced membranes may be required.

• Black fabric may show lint, scratches or dust more visibly—regular care helps maintain its appearance.

• Because it allows layering, fit may vary depending on what you wear underneath — checking size with intended layering is wise.
