The North Face Men’s Himalayan Snow Suit provides you with a warm and functional vehicle to help propel you to the top of the world’s highest, coldest, and most remote summits. This full-body, 800-fill down suit features a water-resistant ripstop nylon shell backed by Gore Windstopper fabric for stout weather protection in alpine conditions. Laminated and taped baffles keep the insulation dry and in place, and the fully adjustable hood keeps the frostbite off your face. Adjustable internal suspenders keep the suit in place during technical sections, and The North Face added an interior radio pocket and two water bottle pockets to keep your water in liquid form. Abrasion reinforcements on the arms and seat hold up to rocky outcroppings, and a forearm D-ring holds your gloves when you need to adjust your knots.
Bottom Line: Essential gear for going above 8000 meters.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Hi Daniel - This suit was designed for 8000 meter expeditions to the Himalaya. So to answer your question, as cold as you are going to find in the world. The shell material is Gore Windstopper, so it is 100% wind-blocking as well.

I took this to Rio and it kept me amazingly warm on the white sandy beaches. Also it is a great fashion statement...seriously though...if you are wearing this you probably are thinking about how much oxygen to bring! This is like a four season sleeping bag with arms and legs...the gold standard...from what I've heard.!

Where do you get the portable ac unit from and how does it work please?

This is a great suit for skiing down the green runs at North Carolina's Sugar Mountain.
The bright yellow color acts as a beacon to the rednecks approaching from behind and the artic padding allows those that fail to heed the cautionary warning to bounce off safely and into the surrounding woods, rendering them unconscious for the remander of the day.
However, You have to bring a portable ac unit contained within a backpack and circulate it through the suit, which puffs it up a little more, which of course adds additional critical protection.
So, while not perfect, it's damn close.
is this suit suitable for Mount Everest? or any other 8000m

i bought this suit and it was amazing, it kept me very warm in the arctic, at one point i was wearing only a pair of shorts and a t shirt under this suit. the best so far in my books. Eaven for layering under the suit its great, have good room. also with this suit i find i can bend over and get on all fours and its great its not baggy or loose like alot of then suits i have. its a really good snug fit wich i like. I have also slept in the suit and its wonderfull because your warm and dont get cold. also at home when it was very cold outside i put my suit on and whent and lied down in the snow it did the job and i would recomend this suit to anyone.
Change me.
