Product Information
Full details
The North Face Fontanales Wind Jacket is designed for active women who require a reliable, lightweight outer layer for transitional weather. It offers an excellent balance of wind resistance and breathability, making it ideal for hiking, commuting, or casual outdoor use. While it excels at blocking gusts, prospective buyers should note that this is a dedicated wind jacket, meaning it lacks the heavy insulation required for freezing temperatures without additional base layers.

What material is it made of?

Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging or minor abrasion
Use a specialized repair patch for technical fabrics to prevent the snag from expanding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, it is best to machine wash in cold water with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wind-resistant properties of the specialized fabric. The jacket is designed to be worn over light base layers or mid-layers depending on the temperature. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading.
