FAQs
What does 'Dryvent' technology mean?
Dryvent is The North Face's proprietary technology that provides waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. It uses a durable, waterproof, and windproof coating or membrane to keep you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit. Consult the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. Generally, choose your usual size unless you plan to wear very bulky layers underneath, in which case sizing up might be considered.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating garments like fleece or down jackets.
Is the hood removable?
The product description indicates an 'adjustable, three-piece hood,' which is typically attached and not removable.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is primarily made of Polyester, with Dryvent technology integrated into the fabric.
How should I clean the jacket to preserve its water resistance?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof-breathable fabrics. Make sure to tumble dry on low heat after washing to help reactivate the existing DWR.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Reduced breathability
Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions. Fabric residue or dirt can clog the pores of the membrane, reducing breathability. Ensure proper rinsing.
