The North Face

Higher Run Wind Jacket - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like this jacket for windy runs and fast hikes where I need protection without overheating. I’ve worn it above treeline in strong gusts, and it blocks wind while still breathing well. The two-way zipper is clutch for venting on climbs, and it packs down small enough to always come along."

We pull on the Higher Run Wind Jacket when the route climbs into exposed terrain and the wind picks up speed. Designed by The North Face for fast movement in the mountains, this lightweight shell keeps gusts at bay without trapping heat as we push the pace.

Highly breathable WindWall fabric balances wind resistance with airflow, helping regulate our temperature during sustained efforts. A water-repellent finish handles light precipitation, while the adjustable hood and cinchable drop-tail hem add coverage when conditions turn sharp. With a packable design that stows into its own pocket and a streamlined fit that moves naturally, the Higher Run Wind Jacket is built for chasing summits and moving efficiently back down.
