Product Insights
The North Face Cyclone Lightweight Jacket is a wind shell that uses WindWall fabric to block wind while remaining breathable for active use, packs easily due to its membrane-free construction, and includes SPF 40+ sun protection. Its DWR finish can be restored with washing and low-heat drying, but it only sheds light rain and is not seam-sealed for heavy downpours. With a relaxed, true-to-size fit (size up for thick layers), multiple pockets, and a price undercutting the Patagonia Houdini, it offers better breathability and comparable packability, making it ideal for dry or drizzly conditions where wind and light moisture are the main concerns.

Bon achat au bon prix
Je porte normalement du médium mais en prenant mes mensurations c’est un extra large que j’ai commandé. Il tombe très bien et est confortable. Des fois faut juste faire abstraction de la perception des tailles…
Belle veste
C,est un bon coupe-vent très léger.
Tellement légère
J'adore je peux la glisser dans mon sac, toujours prête à chaque changement de température!
