Women's 3‑in‑1 The North Face Carto Mono Triclimate Hooded Jacket, black, size XS

The North Face Carto Mono Triclimate Hooded Jacket in black, size XS, is a women's 3-in-1 jacket that combines a waterproof outer shell with an insulated inner layer using The North Face Triclimate system. The two components can be worn separately for different conditions or zipped together to form a single insulated waterproof garment. The jacket is designed for everyday urban use, commuting, travel and outdoor activities where adaptable weather protection and temperature management are required.

Advantages

The Triclimate system provides versatility by offering three wearing options: outer shell only, insulated inner jacket only, or both layers zipped together for full protection and warmth. The outer shell is designed to be water resistant and windproof to shield against rain and drafts while maintaining breathability. The insulated inner layer delivers lightweight warmth without excessive bulk and can be used on its own in milder conditions. The hooded design and adjustable features improve coverage and fit, and the jacket's black color offers a neutral, easy-to-coordinate appearance.

Suitable for

• Urban commuting and daily wear in variable weather
• Travel where packing versatility and layered options are useful
• Outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, and light trekking
• Transitional seasons (spring and autumn) and mild winter layering

How to use

Wear the outer shell alone when you need protection from wind and rain but minimal insulation. Use the insulated inner jacket on its own for light warmth in dry, cool conditions. Zip both layers together when you require maximum protection and insulation in colder, wet environments. Adjust the hood and any hem or cuff toggles for a snug fit. Follow garment care instructions on the sewn label for cleaning to preserve waterproofing and insulation performance.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, treat the outer shell with a suitable durable water-repellent (DWR) product if water beading reduces over time, and store the inner insulated layer dry between uses. Layer breathable base and mid-layers under the Triclimate system to regulate temperature during high-activity periods.
