The North Face Freedom Insulated 2027 – Insulated Jacket

The Freedom Insulated is a full-featured snowboard jacket built for riders who want reliable all-mountain performance without sacrificing everyday wearability. Whether you're lapping the park or pushing through a long powder day, it handles mixed conditions with a relaxed, go-anywhere attitude.

The shell is built from a two-layer DryVent™ fabric — 93% recycled nylon blended with elastane for added stretch — finished with a non-PFC durable water-repellent treatment, making it fully waterproof and windproof while still breathing well during high-output runs. Inside, 100 g of Heatseeker™ synthetic insulation (70% post-consumer recycled polyester) keeps warmth consistent without adding bulk, with 80 g in the hood and sleeves for even coverage. The standard fit sits at low-hip length and moves with you thanks to the stretch construction and a body-mapped lining with extra give at the centre back. Practical touches include mesh-lined underarm vents, a powder skirt with gripper elastic, a helmet-compatible hood, a pass pocket with goggle wipe, and a full suite of zippered pockets.

This jacket suits riders who want a single jacket that handles everything from cold bluebird days to wet spring storms. The stretch DryVent™ shell and Heatseeker™ fill work together to keep you comfortable whether you're moving hard or waiting at the lift. It's especially well-suited to those who value a relaxed silhouette without going baggy.

• Is this jacket compatible with a helmet? Yes — the hood is fully adjustable and specifically designed to fit over a helmet for secure coverage in heavy snowfall.
• Can the insulation handle wet snow? Heatseeker™ is a synthetic fill, which means it retains warmth even when exposed to moisture, unlike down insulation.
