Gore-Tex® Windstopper®

The specially engineered WindStopper® membrane provides wind protection and stabilizes the microclimate close to the skin by allowing excess moisture to escape while preventing unwanted moisture from coming back in. The North Face offers WindStopper® garments that combine comfort with the level of function you can expect from Gore-Tex, making it one of the best layers available. This technology keeps the outdoor enthusiast comfortable without the need for bulky, restricting layers, making it ideal for most active pursuits and weather conditions. "Skiing in the backcountry would not be possible without it," says Rick Armstrong. "It's the one layer I can count on to protect me from the wind while I'm hiking."
