Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent due to the PFC-free DWR coating, meaning it will protect you from light rain, but it is not waterproof and should not be used in heavy downpours.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is designed as a windbreaker rather than an insulated winter coat. It works well as an outer layer in winter only if combined with appropriate thermal mid-layers.
How do I pack the jacket?
The lightweight nylon construction allows you to roll or fold it tightly to fit into small spaces in your bag without taking up significant room.
What is WindWall fabric?
WindWall is a proprietary fabric technology from The North Face designed to reduce wind chill while allowing enough airflow for temperature regulation.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood features stretch binding to ensure it stays close to your face and provides a snug fit without the need for manual drawstrings.
Troubleshooting
Water is starting to soak into the fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR coating may be worn down. Try cleaning the garment and tumble drying on low heat to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
The fit feels slightly restrictive during intense movement.
Ensure you are using the correct layering system. This jacket is designed for a slim athletic fit; if you require more room for heavy base layers, consider sizing up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for a straightforward, true-to-size fit. To maintain the integrity of the WindWall fabric and the DWR coating, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away for long periods to prevent mildew or fabric degradation.
- Compatibility: The athletic cut allows for easy layering over t-shirts or thin long-sleeve performance tops without feeling bulky.
