The North Face Men's Chakal Ski Jacket

The North Face Men's Chakal Ski Jacket

Take on cold days in the mountains with The North Face Men's Chakal Ski Jacket. Designed for skiing, snowboarding, and winter adventures, this insulated ski jacket combines waterproof protection with dependable warmth and breathable comfort. Built with The North Face's DRYVENT 2L technology, the Chakal Jacket features a fully seam-sealed shell that helps block snow, wind, and moisture, keeping you comfortable from the first chairlift to the final run.

HEATSEEKER Advanced synthetic insulation delivers lightweight warmth without unnecessary bulk, making this jacket a reliable choice for cold-weather conditions. The durable recycled polyester shell features a non-PFC durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, while underarm ventilation allows excess heat to escape during demanding runs. A removable, helmet-compatible hood provides adjustable coverage, and integrated stretch-knit wrist gaiters with thumbholes help seal out chilly air.

Built with practical mountain-ready details, the Chakal Ski Jacket includes a snap-down powder skirt, adjustable cuffs, and multiple secure pockets for goggles, electronics, and everyday essentials. A dedicated wrist pocket with an integrated goggle wipe adds convenience on the slopes, while the jacket-to-pant integration clip provides additional protection in deep snow. Whether you're carving groomers or exploring fresh powder, the Chakal Jacket delivers the performance and comfort needed for winter adventures.
