Product Information

Full details

The North Face Summit Superior Rain Anorak is designed for trail runners and alpine enthusiasts who require lightweight, high-performance weather protection in a minimalist package. Utilizing FUTURELIGHT 3L technology, it provides an exceptional balance of breathability and waterproofing for high-output activities. While its streamlined design excels at shedding weight for fast-and-light pursuits, users should note that the pullover style may be less convenient for frequent temperature adjustments compared to full-zip jackets.

FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with FUTURELIGHT 3L, which is a waterproof and breathable seam-sealed shell technology.

Does it have side pockets?

The anorak features a secure-zip pocket used for stowage, but it does not have traditional hand-warmer pockets.

How should I pack it?

The jacket is designed to fold and pack into its own internal secure-zip pocket for compact storage.

What is the material composition?

The shell is crafted from high-performance, durable nylon.

Is the hood helmet compatible?

The hood is designed with a cinch cord for a secure fit, primarily optimized for head coverage rather than over-helmet use.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or reapply a technical DWR spray.

Feeling overheated during activity

Use the two-way water-resistant front zipper to increase airflow and regulate your temperature without needing to remove the jacket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and packable design
  • Breathable FUTURELIGHT fabric prevents overheating
  • High-quality water-resistant zippers
  • Reflective detailing for added safety
  • Durable nylon construction built for alpine environments

Cons

  • Pullover design is less versatile than a full-zip jacket
  • Minimalist feature set lacks extra pockets
  • Regular fit may feel loose for some users depending on layering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your anorak, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in a front-loading machine with warm water and a technical fabric cleaner. Avoid powdered detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the microscopic pores of the FUTURELIGHT membrane.
  2. DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, tumble dry on low heat or use a low-temperature iron to reactivate the non-PFC DWR finish.
  3. Storage: Store the garment in a cool, dry place. While it is designed to be packed away, avoid leaving it compressed in its stow pocket for extended periods to maintain fabric integrity.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket is sized as a regular fit for adults. It is best paired with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layers to maximize the performance of the breathable shell.
