Product Information
Full details
The North Face Cyclone Lightweight Jacket is a versatile outer layer designed for active adults who need reliable protection against gusty winds without the bulk of a heavy coat. Constructed from recycled polyester with WindWall technology and a water-repellent finish, it is perfect for transitional weather and outdoor commuting; however, users should note that it is designed as a windbreaker rather than a waterproof raincoat, meaning it may soak through during heavy or prolonged downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant. The DWR coating will shed light rain, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket and will soak through in heavy rain.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is not insulated. It is designed to block wind, but you will need to wear warm base layers underneath if using it in colder temperatures.
Does it have an adjustable hood?
Yes, it features a three-piece hood with stretch binding to ensure a secure fit against the wind.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Is the jacket fitted?
It features a standard fit, which is designed to be versatile for movement without being overly tight or overly baggy.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a fresh water-repellent treatment spray.
The zipper feels stuck or difficult to pull.
Check for fabric caught in the teeth. If clear, gently wipe the zipper teeth with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical shell, proper care is essential to maintain its DWR properties.
- Cleaning: Machine wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the recycled polyester fabric.
- Reactivating DWR: If water stops beading on the surface after extensive use, you can tumble dry the jacket on low heat or use a specialized DWR spray treatment to restore its water-repellent performance.
- Layering: This jacket features a standard fit. If you plan on wearing bulky sweaters or thick hoodies underneath, you may find the jacket more comfortable if you size up.
