The North Face

Summit Papsura FUTURELIGHT Jacket - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use this shell for long, wet hikes where weight really matters. It’s impressively light, packs down small, and still keeps rain out during steady storms. I’ve worn it under a pack for full days, and the seam-free shoulders and flexible fabric stay comfortable without feeling clammy or restrictive."

When the forecast calls for rain but the route still climbs high, we trust the Summit Papsura FUTURELIGHT Jacket to keep us moving. Built by The North Face for fast-paced alpine adventures, this ultralight shell disappears into our pack until clouds roll in, then delivers dependable protection when conditions turn wet and windy.

The 3-layer FUTURELIGHT construction balances waterproof performance with impressive breathability, keeping us dry on exposed ridgelines and steep, rainy climbs. Fully sealed seams and a non-PFC DWR treatment add confidence in sustained rain, while underarm gussets support natural movement with trekking poles or a full pack. A bonded-brim hood keeps water out of our eyes, and the entire jacket stows into its own pocket when the sky finally clears.
