The North Face Aconcagua 3 Jacket is a lightweight synthetic insulated layer designed for outdoor adventures. As part of the men’s outdoor clothing range, this puff jacket offers warmth without bulk and is intended for use as a mid-layer or standalone piece when temperatures drop or weather turns damp.
Constructed from 100% recycled polyester, the Aconcagua 3 features a regular fit that allows room for movement and easy layering. Its synthetic fill retains loft and warmth even if it gets wet, while the PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) finish helps shed light moisture on drizzly days. Weighing 1.69 kg, it strikes a balance between insulation and packability, and its simple design without a hood makes it easy to layer under a shell or stow in your pack.
DWR stands for durable water repellent, a surface treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric instead of absorbing in. The PFC-free designation means this treatment avoids perfluorinated chemicals, reducing environmental impact while still offering reliable resistance to light rain and snow.

The North Face says about the Aconcagua 3 Jacket
Still named after the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, the Aconcagua returns for another round of cold-weather hiking adventures. But unlike the original, this updated version comes with a 50/50 blend of 600-fill recycled waterfowl down and recycled polyester for exceptional warmth, even in wet and damp conditions. It's still the perfect layer to pull on when you want light protection where you need it most.
