The North Face Polartec Power Grid Stormgap Hoodie - TNF Black - XL

Cold-weather hikes and climbs demand a mid-layer that traps heat without trapping sweat. The North Face Polartec Power Grid Stormgap Hoodie solves that with a grid-fleece construction that balances warmth, breathability, and mobility. The TNF Black colourway keeps it understated, while the XL size offers a relaxed, standard fit for layering over a base layer or under a shell.

Who is it for

Built for men who need reliable warmth during high-output activities like trekking, alpine climbing, and fast hiking. It’s ideal for anyone who runs hot but still needs insulation when the temperature drops or the wind picks up.
