About the technology


Proprietary to The North Face, Heatseeker™ insulation is a continuous synthetic filament that traps heat in small spaces between the fibres.

As a non-down synthetic alternative, it is part of the polyester family and delivers optimal insulation even when wet.

Heatseeker delivers superior levels of performance for warmth, breathability and durability.
