The North Face HKE Utility Wind Jacket (New Taupe Green)

The HKE Utility Wind Jacket by The North Face is a lightweight performance jacket for dynamic tours where reliable weather protection and a clean look are key. The two-tone design with a subtle check pattern at the shoulders, sleeves, and hem gives the silhouette a technical character that works just as well in alpine terrain as it does in everyday urban settings. With the HKE Utility Wind Jacket, The North Face reimagines windproof hiking jackets as a modern outdoor shell that focuses on freedom of movement and comfort.

The North Face jacket combines a smooth main fabric with elastane content and tough rip-stop overlays at the shoulders, upper back, and sleeves. The result is a pleasantly lightweight yet durable feel that performs well even on long days on the trail. A PFC-free, durable water-repellent finish protects against light showers, while FlashDry™ fabrics wick moisture away from the skin and help maintain a balanced climate inside the jacket.

The high stand-up collar conceals a hood with elastic binding that is quickly ready for use when the wind picks up and stows away just as fast. A full-length front zipper with internal storm flap, elastic cuffs, and a drawcord-adjustable hem reliably keep drafts out. Functional zippered hand pockets with mesh lining keep small essentials close to the body. The HKE Utility Wind Jacket features a relaxed regular fit, leaves room for a warming midlayer, and, with its subtly placed logos, underscores The North Face’s characteristic commitment to functional performance.
