The North Face Women's Accessories

Frequently Asked Questions

• What features should I look for in The North Face women's beanies and hats for winter hiking?

  Look for stretch-knit constructions with a fleece lining or WindWall™ panels for wind resistance—logo-patch beanies and seasonal knit caps often combine acrylic knit with soft fleece for warmth. Choose brimmed caps with sun protection for alpine days and styles with FlashDry™ or moisture-wicking fabrics when you expect high-output activity.
• How do The North Face Etip™ touchscreen gloves compare to insulated mittens for cold-weather use?

  Etip™ gloves prioritize dexterity and touchscreen compatibility for tasks like map checks and camera use, making them ideal for active outings where finger control matters. Insulated mittens with Heatseeker™ or ThermoBall™ insulation trap more warmth for very cold or stationary conditions; consider thin Etip™ liners under insulated shells to blend dexterity and warmth.
• What sizing and fit tips should I use when choosing The North Face women's gloves and mittens?

  Measure palm circumference at the fullest point and consult The North Face women's glove size chart, and opt for a slightly roomier size if you plan to layer a liner glove underneath. Look for adjustable wrist closures, gauntlet cuffs, and glove leashes to seal out cold and keep fit secure across activities.
• Are The North Face neck gaiters and scarves suitable for high-output activities like skiing or fast hiking?

  Yes, select lightweight, breathable gaiters made from fleece or FlashDry™ fabrics that wick moisture and dry quickly to avoid clamminess during exertion. Thicker knit scarves and insulated gaiters provide more passive warmth for lift rides and cold starts, while low-profile, stretchy gaiters work best under helmets and balaclavas.
• How should I use The North Face women's heat packs and belts for travel and everyday cold-weather comfort?

  Incorporate low-profile reusable or single-use body/hand/foot heat packs into pockets, gloves, or boots for targeted warmth during travel or commutes; they complement insulated gloves and socks for extended warmth. Choose slim, flexible packs that won't bunch under layers and follow manufacturer instructions for safe placement and duration of use.
