Product Information
Full details
The North Face Cyclone Wind Jacket is designed for active women who need a lightweight, packable outer layer for breezy days and unpredictable transitions. Its primary benefit is the specialized wind-resistant WindWall fabric that cuts through gusts while maintaining breathability, making it an ideal choice for hiking, cycling, or urban commuting; however, users should note that while it features a water-repellent coating, it is not a heavy-duty waterproof rain jacket.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it is wind-resistant and water-repellent, designed for light showers, but it will not withstand sustained heavy rain.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, the jacket features a hood equipped with stretch binding for a secure, comfortable fit.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It serves as a great outer wind-breaking layer, but it provides little insulation on its own; it is best used as part of a layering system.
Is the material stretchy?
The main fabric is lightweight polyester, while the stretch binding at the cuffs and hem provides mobility and a secure fit.
How should I clean the logo?
The heat transfer logo is durable, but avoid ironing directly over it to prevent peeling or damage.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the jacket and apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray.
Static buildup in dry conditions.
Use a light mist of water or an anti-static spray on the interior of the jacket to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for simple, intuitive use. To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent coating, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a technical fabric cleaner or mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must machine dry, use a very low-heat setting to avoid damaging the synthetic fibers.
- Re-treating: Over time, the DWR coating may wear off. Use a spray-on DWR replenishment product to restore the jacket's ability to repel water.
- Storage: Avoid compressing the jacket in a tightly packed bag for extended periods to prevent unnecessary wrinkling of the polyester material.
