NORTHFACE WINTER WARM PRO JACKET - TNF BLACK-NPF

This jacket belongs to the Winter Warm collection from The North Face and is designed as a high-performance insulated outer layer for cold, windy conditions. The “NPF” designation indicates a non-PFAS (non-per-fluoroalkyl-substances) durable water-repellent finish, making the finish more environmentally conscious. The TNF Black colourway gives it a sleek, versatile black aesthetic suitable for both outdoor activity and urban winter wear.

Materials & Construction

• The body fabric is a grid-knit fleece made of approximately 95% recycled polyester / 5% elastane, providing stretch and comfort. 

• The overlay on high-wind zones uses the WindWall™ fabric (100% recycled polyester ripstop) with an air permeability rating of less than 10 CFM on the front body and shoulders, helping block wind chill. 

• Insulation: Body-mapped Heatseeker™ Eco synthetic insulation (≈ 80 g in body/collar and ≈ 60 g in upper sleeves for many versions) made from post-consumer recycled polyester, hollow-core fibres offering warmth even when damp. 

• DWR Finish: Non-PFC durable water-repellent treatment on the overlay fabric to help shed light moisture while avoiding certain harsh chemicals. 

• Other details: Reverse-coil exposed centre-front zipper, elastic-bound cuffs and hem, integrated thumb-loops, hand-warmer pockets, stow-pocket design (for packability) and reflective heat-transfer logos for visibility.

Fit & Style Details

• Fit: Described as a slim or “slim-fit” style for many versions, meaning closer to the body yet designed to allow layering.

• Colour: TNF Black-NPF — a deep black tone with the eco-friendly finish.

• Style code: NF0A84KL-4H0 for the colour variant mentioned.

• Intended Use: Ideal for chilly, windy conditions where insulation plus wind-resistance are needed — e.g., early morning runs, active winter outdoor use, casual cold weather wear.

Benefits

• Excellent warmth for the weight: The combination of synthetic insulation and wind-blocking overlay provides strong protection against cold and wind.

• Good mobility: The fleece body with elastane and grid-knit design allows for comfortable movement, while WindWall overlay keeps wind out.

• Environmentally tuned: High recycled content in body fabric and insulation; Non-PFAS finish on water-repellency.

• Practical for everyday outdoor: The black colour and clean design make it suitable for both trail and city use.

• Packability and details: The stow-pocket function means you can pack it away; thumb loops and reflective details add convenience and safety in low light.

Considerations

• While it offers wind resistance and insulation, it is not a fully waterproof shell — it’s built more for wind and cold than heavy sustained downpour. According to spec, it is wind-resistant and water-resistant, but not marketed as fully waterproof. 

• Because it is relatively insulated and built for cold, if you're wearing it in mild weather you might feel a bit warm or want more ventilation.

• Slim fit means less room for heavy layering underneath — if you plan thick layers you might want to size up or find a looser fit.

• The black colour may show lint, dust or surface wear more easily than lighter tones; some care might help optics.

• The Non-PFC DWR finish is good environmentally, but like all DWR finishes it will gradually diminish — you may need to re-treat for optimal water-shedding over time.
