Full details
The North Face Women's Cyclone Lightweight Jacket is an essential outer layer designed for active individuals who need reliable wind protection without the bulk of a heavy coat. Ideal for hiking, commuting, or light outdoor exercise, this jacket features advanced WindWall technology and a water-repellent finish to keep you comfortable in unpredictable conditions. While it excels at blocking gusts and light drizzle, it is a lightweight shell intended for layering rather than providing significant insulation during extreme cold.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent due to its DWR coating, which helps shed light rain, but it is not seam-sealed and is not considered fully waterproof.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is not an insulated winter coat. It works best as a wind-blocking shell layered over sweaters or thermal mid-layers in cold conditions.
Does it have an adjustable hood?
The jacket features a fixed three-piece hood with elastic binding to provide a secure fit against the wind.
What is the fit like?
The jacket features a relaxed fit, allowing for comfortable layering without feeling overly baggy or restrictive.
How do I best maintain the jacket?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry for the best results.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket to remove dirt/oils and consider applying a DWR re-waterproofing spray.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check the track for fabric snags or debris. If clear, use a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to improve the glide.
Visible wrinkles upon unpacking
Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a humid environment, such as a bathroom after a shower, to allow the wrinkles to relax naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, always refer to the internal care label. This garment is machine washable, though it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain the integrity of the DWR coating and the recycled polyester fibers. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the fabric and inhibit breathability.
When packing the jacket, fold or roll it neatly to prevent deep wrinkles. If the water-repellent finish appears to lose its effectiveness over time, the jacket can be re-treated with a spray-on DWR replenishment product suitable for technical shells. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed before washing to prevent damage to other items in your laundry.
