Product Information

Full details

The North Face Extreme Pile Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable warmth and a cozy, soft feel during chilly weather. Designed specifically for adults, this high-pile polyester fleece provides superior insulation, allowing it to function effectively as a standalone outer layer on crisp days or a warm mid-layer under a shell during harsher conditions. While it excels in heat retention and comfort, users should note that the high-pile material is not windproof and may require an additional outer layer in high-wind environments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of polyester fleece and is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is intended to be used as an insulating layer.

Can I wear this in high winds?

The jacket is not windproof. If you are in windy conditions, we recommend wearing a windproof shell over it for better protection.

How does the sizing run?

This jacket follows standard sizing. As an XL, it is designed with a comfortable fit that allows for base layers underneath.

Does this jacket shed?

High-pile fleece may experience minor shedding when brand new; this typically resolves after the first or second wash.

Is this suitable for high-intensity exercise?

Because it is highly insulating, it may be too warm for high-output activities. It is best suited for moderate intensity or static periods.

Troubleshooting

The pile looks matted or flat after washing

Gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled brush once the garment is completely dry to help restore the loft.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Clear any loose threads from the zipper path and apply a tiny amount of wax or dry lubricant to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your The North Face Extreme Pile Jacket maintains its loft and warmth, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the pile fibers over time.
  2. Drying: Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the synthetic pile. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid compressing the garment tightly in a compression sack for extended periods to prevent the pile from matting.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket features standard sizing and is compatible with most standard technical shell jackets. When layering, ensure the outer shell has enough room to accommodate the bulk of the pile without restricting your range of motion.
