Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: This jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with a mild technical cleaner designed for outdoor gear.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
- Maintenance: Periodically treat the outer fabric with a water-repellent (DWR) spray if you notice water stopping to bead on the surface.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it compressed in a bag for extended periods, as this can break down the waterproof membrane.
- Compatibility: This jacket is part of the zip-in series; it is designed to be compatible with other North Face zip-in mid-layers of the same size.
