The North Face Summit FUTUREFLEECE™ Full-Zip Hoodie in Forest Olive is a premium technical midlayer designed for high-performance alpine pursuits. Part of The North Face’s Summit Series, it delivers the perfect balance of warmth, breathability, and minimal weight, making it an ideal choice for climbing, mountaineering, and cold-weather expeditions.
Constructed with FUTUREFLEECE™ fabric, this hoodie uses a full-loop construction featuring octagonal yarns that efficiently trap heat while maintaining exceptional breathability and compressibility. The result is an ultra-light layer that keeps you warm without adding unnecessary bulk.
Its athletic, slim fit ensures unrestricted mobility, and thoughtful details—like seamless shoulders, underarm gussets, and a helmet-compatible hood—make it perfectly suited for layering under a shell or wearing on its own in milder conditions.
