Full details
The North Face Cyclone Lightweight Jacket is a versatile choice for outdoor enthusiasts and urban commuters who need a reliable, wind-resistant outer layer that remains breathable during active use. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester with built-in WindWall technology, this jacket excels at shielding against cold gusts and light moisture without adding unnecessary bulk. While it offers excellent wind protection and a customizable fit, it is important to note that it is designed primarily as a lightweight shell rather than a heavy-duty waterproof rain jacket.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or mist, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, this model features two external zip-up side pockets for your storage needs.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is best suited for chilly, windy weather. You can wear it in winter if you layer it properly over a warm fleece or down jacket.
What is WindWall technology?
WindWall is a proprietary fabric technology from The North Face that limits the amount of external air that penetrates the fabric to reduce wind chill.
How should I store the jacket?
Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric's durability.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the three-piece hood is permanently attached to the jacket for consistent wind protection.
Troubleshooting
Water-resistance seems to be decreasing
Apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic shells to revive the surface protection.
Bungee hem cord is difficult to adjust
Check the cord lock for debris or sand; wipe with a clean, damp cloth to ensure smooth movement.
Zipper feels stiff
Run a dry graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate them, or clean the track with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for immediate use right out of the packaging. To ensure the longest lifespan for your garment, follow the care label instructions: machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the water-resistant finish over time. Because of its lightweight construction, the jacket is highly compatible with a variety of layering pieces, including hoodies or technical tees. Hang the jacket to dry to maintain the integrity of the elastic bindings and adjusters.
