The North Face Cirque Women's Down Jacket wraps high-warmth down in a waterproof shell for cold resort days. Recycled waterfowl down delivers a high warmth-to-weight ratio while a waterproof, breathable membrane keeps the weather out. It's a warm, weatherproof jacket for lift laps in deep cold.

Why we like it:

The down-in-a-shell combination is the appeal; you get plush, packable down warmth with the storm protection of a waterproof outer, so you stay warm and dry without a second layer. Targeted synthetic insulation covers the spots down can't.

Features and Functions:

The Cirque pairs 600-fill recycled waterfowl down in the main body with targeted HEATSEEKER Advanced synthetic insulation in moisture-prone zones, behind a DRYVENT 2L waterproof, breathable shell of 75D 94% recycled polyester and 6% elastane twill with a non-PFC DWR finish. It weighs around 1221 grams and layers ski-ready warmth with all-weather protection.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular fit leaves room for a midlayer underneath. It's cut for resort skiing with freedom to move. True to size for layering.

Bottom Line:

This is a warm, waterproof insulated jacket, best for cold resort days when you want down warmth and storm protection in one piece. It skips the need for a separate shell in most conditions. A cozy, weatherproof option for deep winter.
