Full details

This guide is for women seeking lightweight protection from wind and light rain. The North Face TNF Cyclone Wind Jacket offers windproof and water-repellent performance in a durable ripstop fabric, ensuring comfort during outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for windy and moderately wet conditions, rather than heavy downpours. Key features include an adjustable hood and hem for a custom fit, full-zip closure, and zippered hand pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The TNF Cyclone Wind Jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This jacket is designed for wind protection and light weather. For very cold temperatures, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating pieces like fleece or down.

How do I adjust the hood and hem?

The hood typically has a drawcord or adjustment system around the opening, and the hem usually features elastic or a toggle system. Tighten them to create a snugger fit and block wind.

What does 'ripstop' fabric mean?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. If a small tear does occur, the ripstop pattern helps to prevent it from spreading.

Does this jacket have a DWR coating?

Yes, the jacket features a water-repellent finish (likely DWR) to help water bead off the surface.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stuck

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If still stuck, try rubbing a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Water repellency seems reduced

Ensure the jacket is clean. If the issue persists after washing, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to product instructions.

Drawcords are tangled

Carefully untangle the drawcords. If they become difficult to thread back through the hem or hood, a safety pin can help guide them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Detergents: Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the water-repellent finish.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron.
  4. Re-waterproofing: If the water-repellent finish diminishes over time, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofer designed for outdoor apparel.
