Sneak Preview #2: The North Face El Norte Jacket

Bad news; the Caribou jacket won't be back next year. Good news: instead there is the updated version, the El Norte Jacket.

Changes include: the longer back length of 81cm; ideal for the taller man, or simply someone wishing to maintain a lot of body warmth; the hood is now detachable, as well as being fully adjustable and insulated; an internal waist cinchcord for a more flattering fit; and the additional front chest pockets, which aids the useful storing of accessories and a smooth symmetrical look.

The El Norte also boasts 550 fill goose down and thanks to the Hyvent outer is completely waterproof, breathable and seam sealed at a weight of 1.356kg in a choice of three colours.
