Why We Like The North Face Himalayan Suit
Fully redesigned after extensive lab tests and field tests in Alaska and the Himilayas, The North Face Himalayan Suit provides peak performance for extreme, high-altitude expeditions. For maximum thermal performance and temperature regulation, it pairs 900-fill power Cloud Down with Ventrix stretch insulation in the inner draft flap and strategic zones. This body-mapped insulation combats down compression under our pack to maintain insulation and balances breathability and warmth in areas that are prone to overheating to maintain a more comfortable microclimate, whether we're active or resting. A double placket at the chest has an asymmetrical layout that reduces the likelihood of zippers freezing from oxygen mask condensation, and it also features a double layer that lets us access a secure zip pocket without letting heat escape or unzip both layers to vent heat and moisture vapor as needed. The seat and lower legs feature FUTURELIGHT with Spectra ripstop for better weather, abrasion, and puncture resistance, and the lower legs feature a 2-piece construction that allows us to adjust the independent shell and insulation layers to our preference—we can wear the shell and insulation both outside of our boots, both inside our boots, or the insulation inside with the shell outside the boots. On the inside, the internal vest features a suspension system to keep the suit in place, carry water bottles close to our bodies, and distribute weight more evenly across the suit. For additional storage, the suit has 11 internal and external pockets to keep things organized and accessible when we're high on the mountain. We may not need to wear the Himilayan Suit all the time, so we're happy that the Cloud Down packs down small and that the suit comes with a PU-coated compression sack to save space in our packs. All of the details, inside and outside, add up to a high-performance suit for our high-altitude expeditions.

Gets attention
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I live in San Diego, CA and just wore this suit for the first time last weekend. I was invited to my friends wedding and it just so happens that they are Himalayan. I was stressing out about what to wear and then I came across this suit. I figured how can you go wrong wearing a Himalayan suit to a Himalayan wedding. As soon as I arrived to the wedding I saw how friendly the Himalayan people were. They were all smiling and pointing at me. They must have been impressed that I chose a traditional suit. I only stayed for about 30 minutes due to having a heat stroke but nonetheless the suit was awesome.

Must have for Winter!!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought this because I needed something that was going to make me look good on the mountain, red is my favorite color and the price is so cheap, please do better. Overall, eyes were all on me which was the point, the zipper could be better quality but it gets the job done which is to be the most looking guy on the mountain. It wasn’t hard putting on and didn’t need that many layers, the hood barely fits though and no it’s not because I have a big head. Please fix your mistakes and not make it so cheap! Thank you

I would buy again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got one for free when I worked for them but you are never getting cold unless you are on mountain that is 40 below. It's not for daily wear because it is so good. Only mountain wear or in the high plains in winter when it is 20 below and wind chills of 30 or 40 below. It is worth it if you can afford it.
