The North Face Dawn Turn 50/50 Synthetic keeps you warm in the mountains and simultaneously prevents overheating while being active.

The North Face has created the perfect layer for high aerobic activities in cold and wet environments. The synthetic down fill of the Dawn Turn 50/50 Synthetic keeps you warm even in wet conditions whilst also being highly breathable thanks to the 50/50 eco synthetic insulation technology.

Temperature Regulation to Keep You Warm and Dry

The 50/50 insulation in the Dawn Turn Jacket pairs a series of ultra-cozy synthetic insulation fiber-proof baffles with a highly air-permeable face fabric to create a groundbreaking breathable insulation layer. The synthetic insulation-filled baffles are equally interspersed to deliver enhanced breathable insulation and temperature regulation that keep you both warm and dry.

The jacket also includes Ventrix™ fabric technology in vital places where body-mapped perforations open when you move to allow perspiration to escape and remain closed in times of rest to retain warmth.

To avoid extra material and weight as well as to create a more comfortable fit for high energy activities, the jacket has been designed with an athletic fit. Interesting key features also include the helmet-compatible hood and gaiters that prevent snow or wind from getting under your layers.

No Need to Switch Layers

Each technology is carefully chosen to provide a warm garment that can be kept on during high-intensity ski tours in extreme alpine conditions, allowing heat and moisture to escape for enhanced temperature regulation. This also means more efficiency in the mountains, reducing the time needed to switch layers, so you can enjoy your adventures to the fullest.

The North Face Dawn Turn 50/50 Synthetic allows you to keep pushing for longer whilst remaining comfortable in changing conditions and different energy levels, whatever the season throws at you. Designed specifically for ski touring, the collection is based on a holistic system of layers and technologies to keep you warm, dry and moving freely.
