Full details

The North Face McMurdo Bomber is a high-performance winter jacket designed for adults who require ultimate protection against freezing temperatures and harsh conditions. Drawing inspiration from the research station in Antarctica, it utilizes high-loft down insulation to provide exceptional warmth, though its robust construction makes it less suitable for mild climates or highly active sports where breathability is a priority.

FAQs

Is the hood fully removable?

Yes, the hood is removable, and the faux-fur trim can be detached independently for easier cleaning or a different aesthetic.

Is this jacket waterproof?

The McMurdo Bomber is designed to be highly weather-resistant and protective against snow and wind, though it is not marketed as a fully waterproof technical rain shell.

What is the best way to wash the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a down-specific detergent. Ensure the faux fur is removed first, and tumble dry on low with dryer balls to ensure the down regains its loft.

Can I use this for skiing?

While it is very warm, it is designed for urban use and general cold-weather protection. It may be too bulky and lack the specific breathability required for active skiing.

How do I determine the right fit?

The McMurdo Bomber is designed as a standard outdoor fit. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, your standard size is recommended, but consider that it is already insulated for warmth.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers leaking through the fabric

Small amounts of down can occasionally migrate through the fabric or seams. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out.

Faux fur looks matted after storage

Gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristle brush to restore its volume and fluffiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the insulation properties of the high-loft down, the jacket should be stored in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably on a wide hanger to maintain its structure. Before washing, always remove the faux-fur hood trim. Use a mild detergent designed for down garments and follow the manufacturer's care label strictly—typically recommending a gentle cycle with a tumble dry on low heat, ideally with dryer balls to restore the loft of the down feathers. Avoid excessive folding to prevent permanent compression of the insulation.
