New & Noteworthy Releases

The North Face Summit L3 Ventrix Hoodie
The new Summit L3 Ventrix Hoodie is a jack-of-all-trades wonder, wear anywhere midlayer that breaks new ground thanks to its advanced Ventrix insulation system. As the name hints, Ventrix activates with movement, venting excess body heat during moments of peak activity via laser perforations located in key areas such as the center back and armpits. A critical piece of your mountain layering system, it retains warmth when you need it and releases it when you don’t — setting a new standard for all-day comfort during active days out on the mountain. — Gear Patrol
