Troubleshooting

Down feathers are leaking.

This is normal, especially with a new jacket. Avoid pulling the feathers out. Gently push them back inside. If the issue persists, contact The North Face customer service.

The jacket isn't as warm as it used to be.

The down may have lost its loft due to improper washing or storage. Follow the care instructions, especially the drying process with tennis balls.

The DWR finish isn't repelling water.

The DWR finish may need to be reactivated. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions and then tumble dry on low heat. Consider reapplying DWR with a spray-on product if necessary.
