Summit Himalayan Down Parka - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I took the Summit Himalayan Parka on a high-altitude expedition, and it was everything I needed—lightweight, incredibly warm, and built to handle wind and moisture. The offset baffles really cut down on cold spots, and the FUTURELIGHT panels gave me extra confidence when storms rolled in."

When we’re climbing in the most unforgiving alpine conditions, we need gear that’s as tough and committed as we are. That’s why we reach for The North Face Summit Himalayan Down Parka. Purpose-built for extreme cold, this expedition parka features 800-fill ProDown™ insulation with a hydrophobic finish that dries faster and stays warmer in damp conditions—ideal for high-altitude pushes or winter basecamp life.

CLOUD DOWN construction uses offset baffles to minimize cold spots and shed unnecessary weight, while strategic placement of waterproof-breathable FUTURELIGHT™ fabric in the hood, yoke, and sleeves shields us from driving wind and snow. A helmet-compatible hood, insulated draft tube, and internal cinch-cords help lock in body heat, and two internal mesh pockets keep gloves or climbing skins warm and close. Whether we’re bivying high or prepping for a summit push, the Himalayan Down Parka is a critical layer in the coldest corners of the earth.
