We earn from qualifying purchases through links on this page. How we make money.
The North Face jackets come in four main types: rain shells such as the Antora, synthetic ThermoBall jackets, down puffers such as the Nuptse, and heavy Denali fleece. For Black Friday 2026 in Canada, use these for fall, spring and active winter days, pair them for layering, and check style names and sizes in every listing.
Where a jacket fits in a Canadian year
Canadian weather runs from wet shoulder seasons to deep cold, and no single jacket covers all of it. A rain shell handles fall and spring downpours. A synthetic jacket stays warm on near-freezing days when sleet and wet snow are common. A down puffer suits dry cold. Fleece is a layer for under a shell or on its own on dry, cool days. For the coldest stretches, a full parka is the better tool; see the parka page.
The North Face jackets to compare
Decide what the jacket is for first: rain, cold or a mid layer. Then match the style name on the tag and check the size chart the seller uses.

Rain shell: the Antora
The Antora uses a two-layer, 70-denier DryVent waterproof shell with a DWR finish made without PFCs, and it weighs about 346 g. The hood adjusts, but there are no pit zips, and it breathes less than technical shells. That makes it a commuting and everyday jacket rather than one for long climbs. It does not pack into a pocket.
Insulated: ThermoBall or Nuptse
The ThermoBall Eco uses synthetic PrimaLoft fibres shaped to act like down clusters, and it keeps insulating when wet. It is made from fully recycled materials, weighs about 518 g and works as a mid layer or an outer layer.
The 1996 Retro Nuptse is the down option: 700-fill down, a water-resistant shell, a stowable hood and a cropped, boxy fit. It packs into its own pocket. Keep it for dry cold, or wear a shell over it in wet snow.
Fleece: the Denali
The Denali first came out in 1988. The retro version is a heavyweight fleece in fully recycled polyester, with nylon overlays on the chest and shoulders for wind and wear. It dries quickly and weighs about 723 g in a men’s medium.

Listing check for jackets
Look for the style name on the inside label and confirm men’s, women’s or kids’ sizing. Ask for chest and length in centimetres, since letter sizes vary between cuts. Check rain shells for peeling seam tape and insulated jackets for flat patches. If the seller ships from the US, ask about duties, taxes and brokerage fees, and how a cross-border return would work.
Frequently asked questions
Can a North Face rain jacket work in winter?
A rain shell such as the Antora adds little warmth on its own. Sized with room underneath, it can go over a fleece or a synthetic jacket for wet, near-freezing days.
Is a jacket enough, or do I need a parka?
For long periods in deep cold, a parka covers more of you. Jackets suit fall, spring, milder winter days and active use. The McMurdo and the women's Arctic Parka are The North Face's long winter options.
