FAQs

How do I adjust the fit of the snood?

The snood features an adjustable drawstring with a toggle. Simply pull the drawstring ends to tighten the snood around your neck for a snug fit, and release the toggle to loosen it.

Is this snood suitable for extreme cold weather?

The Denali Gaiter Snood provides excellent warmth for most cold conditions. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, it is recommended to use it as a base layer for your neck protection, potentially combined with a thicker scarf or balaclava.

What material is the snood made from?

The snood is made from 100% recycled fleece polyester, offering soft, insulating warmth.

Can I machine wash the snood?

Yes, the snood is machine washable. Please wash it cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or lay flat to air dry. Do not bleach or iron.

Is this snood windproof?

While the fleece material provides good protection against cold winds, it is not fully windproof. The snug fit achieved with the drawstring helps minimize wind penetration.

Is the snood available in different sizes or colors?

The North Face Denali Gaiter Snood is designed as a unisex adult one-size-fits-all product and, based on current information, is available in Black.

What activities is this snood best for?

It is ideal for a wide range of cold-weather activities including hiking, skiing, snowboarding, camping, dog walking, and everyday wear during cooler months.

Troubleshooting

Snood feels too loose and lets in cold air.

Tighten the adjustable drawstring around the top opening of the snood. Ensure the toggle is secured to hold the drawstring in place.

Snood feels too tight or constricting around the neck.

Loosen the adjustable drawstring. Adjust the fit until it's snug but comfortable, allowing for unrestricted movement and breathing.

Snood doesn't seem warm enough in very cold conditions.

Ensure the drawstring is pulled tight to seal out drafts. Consider layering the snood with a base layer top or a warmer jacket. In extreme cold, it can be worn under a balaclava for added insulation.

Fabric feels scratchy or irritating after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild, fabric-friendly detergent. Avoid using too much detergent or fabric softener, which can sometimes leave residue. Rinse thoroughly. If machine drying, ensure it's on a low heat setting.

Static cling is an issue after drying.

To reduce static, tumble dry on a low setting with a dryer sheet, or air dry instead. You can also lightly mist the snood with water before wearing.
