The North Face Hyalite Down Parka - tnf black size: xs

Insulation, fabric and protection

• 550 cuin goose down filling, certified for responsible use (RDS), which offers high insulating power to keep the body warm in cold weather, at a relatively light weight for its class.

• 30-45g/m² 100% nylon outer fabric with DWR water repellent finish, designed to repel splashes and light rain, delaying down soaking.

• Designed for wet winters and cool autumns, with a balance of warmth, weight and wind resistance, but not a fully waterproof parka.

Cut, length and size XS

• Regular / standard cut, with a slightly longer silhouette than the classic Hyalite jacket, reaching approximately to the upper or mid-thigh, to offer greater protection to the trunk.

• In size XS the parka fits smaller chest, waist and shoulder contours, maintaining mobility even when worn over a base layer or thin fleece.

• Length is designed to cover the hips and part of the thighs, ideal for urban use and light winter hiking, combining well with hiking trousers or leggings.

Hood, zips and pockets

• Fixed integrated hood, with the same down filling as the body, designed to keep the head and ears well covered from the cold without blocking the view too much.

• Oversized VISLON® centre zip with sturdy closure, easy to use even with cold hands or thin gloves.

• Includes zipped side pockets for hands or small items, plus an inner chest pocket, useful for phone, cards or documents for safe keeping.

Technical details and comfort

• Elasticated inner cuffs help retain warmth at the wrists, reducing cold air ingress without over-tightening.

• Waistband with lightweight elasticated inner hem or partial elasticated trim at the back, helping to keep warmth close to the body while maintaining freedom of movement.

• Seams and finishes designed to retain down and withstand daily use, with a technical-urban approach (functional down jacket, not just a decorative coat).

Performance in climate and use

• The down and lightweight outer shell make the parka very effective in cold and moderate climates, ideal for autumn and winter, with good performance even when the air becomes slightly damp.

• It works as a warm top layer in the city or as a down layer for mild mountain use, combining well with a waterproof outer jacket if conditions become more demanding.

• The tnf black colour is very versatile, matching almost any type of trousers, dress or footwear, both outdoor and casual, with a technical, understated look.
