FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket provides reliable warmth with synthetic insulation, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions when layered appropriately. For extreme cold, consider adding a warmer mid-layer.

How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?

If water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and instead soaks in, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment.

Can I wear a thick fleece under this jacket?

Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate a mid-layer like a fleece for added warmth. However, if you plan to wear very bulky layers, consider sizing up.

What is the difference between DryVent and Gore-Tex?

DryVent is The North Face's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology, comparable to many Gore-Tex variants, offering excellent protection for general outdoor activities.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a fixed hood with a one-way adjustment system at the back to help secure the fit around your head.

How does the jacket pack down?

The jacket is designed to be highly packable and can be compressed and stored within its own pocket or a separate stuff sack for easy transport.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a powder detergent, then tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and do not iron.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric

Check if the DWR finish needs to be reapplied. Clean the jacket thoroughly as per care instructions.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Insulation feels lumpy after washing

Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help redistribute and re-loft the insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is designed as an outer layer for general adult use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Use a powder detergent (liquid is not recommended).
  2. Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with a clean tennis ball or dryer ball to help maintain the insulation's loft. Do not bleach.

  5. Water Repellency: Periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if the outer fabric no longer beads water effectively.
