Product Information

Full details

The North Face Nimble Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking adaptable protection during active outdoor pursuits. Its key benefit lies in its WindWall technology and water-repellent finish, offering a balance of wind resistance, breathability, and protection from light precipitation. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, making it best suited for dry or lightly wet conditions rather than heavy downpours. This jacket features a stretchy fabric composition for ease of movement, a full-zip for adjustable ventilation, and an embroidered logo for brand recognition.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket features a water-repellent DWR treatment, which is effective against light precipitation. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.

What is WindWall technology?

WindWall technology is a fabric technology developed by The North Face that significantly reduces wind chill while maintaining good breathability, helping to keep you comfortable in windy conditions.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is composed of 90% polyester and 10% elastane, providing durability, comfort, and stretch.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash the jacket at 40 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The jacket is suitable for cool conditions, especially when combined with insulating layers underneath. It may not provide sufficient warmth on its own in very cold temperatures.

What is the purpose of the full-zip design?

The full-zip design allows for easy on and off, and provides adjustable ventilation to help regulate your body temperature during varying levels of activity or changing weather.

Does the jacket have pockets?

The product description does not specify pocket details, but softshell jackets typically include zippered hand pockets for secure storage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside during heavy activity.

This is likely due to perspiration. The jacket is breathable, but intense activity can exceed its capacity. Consider unzipping for ventilation or wearing a more moisture-wicking base layer.

Water is not beading on the surface.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket feels too restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretchy fabric allows for movement, but proper fit is crucial. Check the size guide and consider if a larger size or a different model might be more suitable for your needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Nimble Softshell Jacket is designed as an outer layer. It can be comfortably worn over base layers or mid-layers such as t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, or light fleeces. Ensure proper sizing for optimal layering.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine Wash: Wash the jacket in a washing machine at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment.

  4. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment using a specialized spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
