Why Choose The North Face Hyalite

The North Face has been synonymous with technical reliability since 1966. The Hyalite vest represents the perfect balance of lightness, warmth, and durability. Unlike inexpensive synthetic vests, 550 fill goose down offers a superior warmth-to-weight ratio and long-lasting durability. Compared to unhooded vests, the Hyalite adds extra protection without bulk.
