The North Face

Higher Run Wind Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This jacket lives in my running pack. It’s insanely light and folds down to nothing, but still gives solid wind protection on ridgelines or breezy descents. It breathes surprisingly well too, so I don’t overheat on the move. The hood is just enough coverage when the wind kicks up."

Built for fast-paced efforts in exposed alpine terrain, The North Face Higher Run Wind Jacket delivers featherlight wind protection that disappears in your pack until the weather demands it. When strong gusts hit high ridgelines or shoulder-season chill sets in on the descent, we pull it on for instant shelter without overheating.

The WindWall™ fabric blocks wind while maintaining airflow, making it ideal for sustained output like trail runs, scrambles, and high-exertion hikes. An elastic-bound hood offers a streamlined fit without fuss, and the entire jacket stows into its own pocket for easy storage in running vests or fastpacks. Reflective details boost visibility when the day runs long, and a slim silhouette layers smoothly over light kits.
