The North Face

Dawnstrike GTX Insulated Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wore this jacket through storm days at Snowbird and never once felt cold or wet. The GORE-TEX shell is super reliable, and the Heatseeker insulation strikes that sweet spot of warmth without overheating. It’s a workhorse for resort laps and powder missions."

For powder days, stormy forecasts, and boundary-pushing laps on the lift, we count on the GTX Dawnstrike Insulated Jacket. The North Face delivers this all-mountain powerhouse with waterproof GORE-TEX protection and strategic HEATSEEKER™ Advanced insulation that keeps us warm without feeling bulky or restricted. Whether we’re ducking ropes or cruising corduroy, this jacket keeps us focused on the descent, not the forecast.

The Dawnstrike’s feature set is tailored for the alpine. A helmet-compatible hood adjusts for coverage on the fly, while underarm vents dump heat during bootpacks or bluebird days. The integrated powder skirt, wrist gaiters, and jacket-to-pant interface all come together to seal out snow and seal in warmth. Functional storage—like a pass pocket with a built-in goggle wipe and a media-friendly chest pocket—keeps essentials right where we need them. Built from recycled materials and finished with non-PFC DWR, it's a jacket that performs with purpose.
