Product Information

Full details

The North Face Extreme Pile 2 Jacket is designed for adult men who seek a blend of archival aesthetic and modern performance for casual outdoor use or layering in cold weather. It provides substantial warmth and a soft feel thanks to its 315gsm recycled high-pile fleece, though its bulky texture may make it difficult to fit comfortably under slim-fitting waterproof shells.

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

No, the Extreme Pile 2 Jacket is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a windproof barrier.

Can I wear this in the rain?

While the material is warm, it is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry conditions or used as a mid-layer under a rain shell.

What does 315gsm mean?

GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 315gsm rating indicates a heavy-duty, dense fabric thickness suitable for cold-weather insulation.

Does the jacket run true to size?

The jacket generally fits true to size, but the pile adds bulk, so consider your layering needs when choosing a size.

How do I use the hem adjustment?

Locate the toggles at the hem and pull the drawcord to tighten the base against your body, locking it in place with the cord locks.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels matted after washing

Gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled garment brush once dry to restore the loft of the fabric.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or pencil graphite to the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Warm 315gsm recycled fleece material
  • Stylish, retro-inspired aesthetic
  • Functional storage with zippered chest pocket
  • Adjustable hem helps retain body heat

Cons

  • High-pile texture may not fit under slim shells
  • Bulkier than standard lightweight fleeces
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain fabric texture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the garment, always check the interior care label. Generally, this fleece should be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the pile texture over time. It is highly recommended to tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to keep the fleece fibers from matting. For compatibility, this jacket functions best when worn over a moisture-wicking base layer and can be paired with a relaxed-fit jacket if extra weather protection is needed.
