MEN’S THERMOBALL™ PLUS HOODIE The ultimate all-weather mid-weight jacket, the ThermoBallTM Plus Hoodie provides maximum comfort on your travels. It utilizes compressive ThermoBall™ technology, a synthetic alternative to down capable of delivering maximum insulation even in wet conditions because it doesn’t pile like down does, while a nylon fabric overlay on the shoulder and chest areas adds further water-repellent and abrasion-resistance properties in key areas. An underarm stretch-venting panel enables you to enjoy ventilation in-case it gets too warm, in comfort, at all times. Hard-wearing and easily packable, this versatile hoodie is the perfect travel companion. F E AT U R E S I N C L U D E :

RDS IS DEVELOPED BY THE NORTH FACE AND TE X TILE EXCHANGE.
PROTECTING THE WORLD WE LOVE TO EXPLORE
This voluntary global standard is built on a foundation of input from animal welfare groups, industry experts, brands and retailers, and which recognizes the best practices in animal welfare. Designed to exclude all those that violate an animal’s well-being, the RDS ensures down and feathers come from ducks and geese that have lived healthy lives, expressed innate behaviours, and not suffered from pain, fear or distress. The standard follows the chain of custody from farm to product and is audited by a professional, third party certification body. This means that RDS guards against force-feeding and the removal of down and feathers from live birds (live-plucking or molt-harvesting), and ensures the welfare of the birds is respected at all times, Companies can choose to certify their products to the RDS, even when there is no legislation requiring them to do so. The North Face will continue to do so, meaning consumers can choose our products in the knowledge they are truly RDS.

C H E M I S T R Y P L AY S A V I TA L R O L E I N DELIVERING HIGH-PERFORMANCE P R O D U C T S T H AT H E L P T O P R O T E C T PEOPLE FROM THE ELEMENTS. Technical benefits and durable qualities such as water resistance, breathability, durability and warmth all require a careful and responsible use of chemicals, which is something we take very seriously. The North Face has partnered with bluesignÂŽ system to reduce the environmental impact of our supply chain, particularly at a fabric level. This is an independent environmental health and safety solution that uses a holistic approach to help increase our sustainable efforts when it comes to chemical responsibility, resource productivity, air emissions, worker health and safety, water emissions and consumer safety. We meet all of the legal compliance limits for PFC-based chemistry; however, to us, this is not enough. We recognize the potential harmful effects of using PFCs and are dedicated to addressing this concern with real solutions. As of spring 2015, we have replaced all long-chain PFC based chemistry with short-chain PFC based
QUALITY WITH RESPONSIBILITY
DWR treatments in all of our apparel; these shorter-chain alternatives offer the same functional benefits, but have reduced toxicity and bioaccumulation potential compared to longer-chain PFCs. We have also converted a handful of products to non-fluorinated DWR treatments starting in fall 2015 and will continue to move to environmentally preferable non-fluorinated solutions as they become available and can meet our performance and quality standards.
