Summit FUTUREFLEECE Full-Zip Hoodie delivers ultralight warmth for alpine layering
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This hoodie packs big warmth in a featherweight build. I layer it under a shell on alpine missions or wear it solo on shoulder-season hikes. The FUTUREFLEECE material feels soft against the skin and never weighs me down—plus the thumb loops and helmet-compatible hood are clutch."
The Summit FUTUREFLEECE Full-Zip Hoodie keeps us light, warm, and fast in the alpine. Built by The North Face as part of the Summit Series, this high-efficiency midlayer delivers next-level warmth without the bulk, thanks to its ultralight FUTUREFLEECE™ fabric. It’s our go-to piece when moving fast through technical terrain or pushing into exposed elevations where every ounce and layer counts.
The soft, grid-knit fleece offers an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio, while the slim fit makes it a perfect pairing under shells or insulated outerwear. Underarm gussets and raglan sleeves maximize mobility, and the flatlock seams reduce chafing under a harness or pack. The minimalist hood fits comfortably under helmets, and thumb loops seal out drafts during high-output movement. This hoodie is a staple for mountaineering, glacier travel, and cold-weather ascents.

Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The jacket is described as lightweight, warm, and comfortable, making it a suitable layering piece for activities like hiking and running. However, some customers found the material to be thin and felt the product was overpriced for the quality. Sizing also seems to be an issue, with some needing to order a larger size. Despite these drawbacks, many customers say they would purchase the jacket again or recommend it to others, indicating it is a decent mid-layer option, though it may not meet all customer expectations.

Incredible fleece, performed so well. Perfect as is
I wore this hoodie over a bunch of high altitude mountain passes all over the Andes. Over the Huayhuash Circuit, Salkantay Trek, on day hikes and up to the summit of Cotopaxi in heinous conditions. It was a PERFECT fleece layer. Well vented, but kept me warm while walking in cold temps, lightweight and abrasion resistant, packs small. Chest pocket held my phone without sagging. Stayed clean, and still looks new after over a month on the trail. I wore a long sleeve sun hoody underneath this fleece layer. On cold mornings and high passes, I also wore gloves and a turtle fur fleece neck gaitor and I never overheated (I'm a chronic overheater), only needed an additional layer if it was actively raining/snowing or extremely windy, when stopping for breaks or for the summits beyond 5000m. I was hiking in it for 3 weeks straight. I wore it to sleep some nights and it was great for sleeping too~! I've never been more pleased with a layer. I strongly disagree that a mid-layer like this needs pockets. It would be too bulky and inaccessible underneath a harness or jacket. Bring lightweight gloves or an extra layer. Between 4000-5000m I was wearing gloves most days. I think it's perfect as is. Absolutely love it.

NO POCKETS!
No pockets , Northface girls love pockets for our hands! Thumb holes are good but pockets are the best! Seriously, rethink the summit series jackets back with pockets.

Pockets, please!!!
How many reviews do you all need to see before adding pockets to this jacket?? Love the Future Fleece. Also why are there so many more male items and styles and colors? On a positive note, you have added a (one) add'l color since I last purchased.

Women need pockets too! Should not have to say it!
I had a north face future fleece jacket that I loved. It kept me warm when The temperature dropped below what I was expecting. I did not overheat. I could take the jacket off and shove it in my backpack. It was super light. Never wrinkled. Not waterproof, soft and somehow kept the water out. But after so many years, it is worn out. I've been looking for years for a replacement . But for some reason, your designers don't put pockets in there anymore. That's a dealbreaker. I need a place to put my hands when it's cold. I finally gave up and bought another brand. So disappointed. Hope you get a better design soon and put some pockets in the jacket waist.

BEST TECHNICAL FLEECE ON THE MARKET
Bought the white version for my long-distance running Mother as a Christmas present. She liked it so much for running in the winter that she asked me to buy the turquoise one for her for her upcoming birthday. I myself have several colors in the men's version I wear as a mid-layer while skiing.

Disappointed then surprised
This jacket is lightweight so when I open the package I was disappointed and ready to send it back. One night I was cold and gave this a try and my body warmed up instantly. I would agree it doesn't feel worth the price especially being made from recycled polyester but it does keep you warm.
