The North Face Men's Summit Breithorn Hoodie
The Summit Series. The Alpine Mid-Layer Perfected.
The The North Face Men’s Summit Breithorn Hoodie is part of The North Face’s most technically elite product line — the Summit Series, designed in collaboration with TNF athletes and tested on the world’s most demanding alpine objectives. Named for the Breithorn, the iconic 4,164m peak that straddles the Swiss-Italian border and serves as a gateway to the high Alps, the Breithorn Hoodie is the mid-layer built for those who take the approach as seriously as the summit.

Where the Summit Series Meets the High Alps.
The Breithorn is many climbers’ first 4,000m Alpine summit — but the mountain does not care about that. At altitude, in the cold, with the wind coming off the Theodul Glacier and the summit ridge exposed to every condition the Alps can produce, performance is not optional and comfort is not a luxury. The Summit Breithorn Hoodie was designed for exactly that environment: a mid-layer of complete technical authority that performs equally as the insulating layer in a three-piece alpine system, as a standalone piece on a cold approach, or as the high-output layer on a demanding summit push. Every detail — the helmet-compatible hood, the flatlock seams, the articulated patterning — exists to make the wearer more capable on the mountain. Nothing more. Nothing less. The North Face since 1966. The Summit Series, for those who go higher. The Breithorn, waiting.
