FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the TNF Cyclone Wind Jacket is water-resistant with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making it suitable for light rain and splashes, but not for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This jacket is lightweight and designed primarily for wind and light rain protection. For cold weather, it functions best as an outer shell layer over warmer insulating layers like fleece or down.

How do I make it more water-repellent?

The water repellency comes from the DWR finish. This can wear off over time. You can restore it by cleaning the jacket and applying a commercial DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product.

What does 'packable' mean in this context?

Packable means the jacket can be folded or compressed into a small size, often its own pocket, making it very convenient to carry in a backpack or bag for unexpected weather changes.

What size should I order?

The jacket is available in size Medium (M) for women. Please refer to The North Face's general sizing chart for specific measurements if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a new DWR treatment according to product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper while trying to smooth the fabric around it. If persistent, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp after use in light rain.

Ensure the DWR finish is active. If not, consider reapplication. Also, ensure the jacket was not exposed to prolonged or heavy rain, as it is designed for light precipitation.
