The North Face Mountains Athletics full zip fleece jacket - Grey - XL

The jacket is made from polyester.

No, the polyester material provides some wind resistance but is not fully waterproof. It is best suited as a mid-layer or for dry conditions.

The jacket features a full zip for adjustable ventilation. The elasticated cuffs and hem help to maintain a snug fit.

For very cold weather, this fleece jacket is best worn as part of a layering system, over a base layer and potentially under a waterproof and insulated outer shell.

It is suitable for a range of activities including hiking, casual outdoor wear, and as a comfortable layer for everyday use in moderate temperatures.

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.

Pilling can occur with friction. Ensure the jacket is washed inside out and avoid overloading the washing machine. Consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, as high temperatures can degrade elastic fibers over time. Follow care instructions precisely.
