The North Face Fuse Brigandine Jacket - Women's Tech Blue AUTHENTIC The North Face Women's Fuse Brigandine Jacket is a burly big-mountain ski jacket fit for the backcountry. Its 3-layer shell is comprised of a HyVent Alpha membrane laminate for superior waterproof breathable protection, and FuseForm construction seamlessly integrates heavier nylon in the shoulders, sides, and inner arms for increased abrasion resistance. YKK AquaGuard Vislon zippers cover the center front, both chest pockets, and utility pocket for water-resistant protection that most ski jackets don't have, and polyurethane has been applied over the remaining external openings for additional protection from wet weather. The Fuse Brigandine also features a stretchy powder skirt, zippered underarms for ventilation, and a helmet-compatible hood that's adjustable for versatile coverage. There are inner cuffs with thumbholes for additional coverage, and the hem and external cuffs adjust to completely seal out bad weather.
