FAQs
Is this jacket truly 100% waterproof?
Yes, it is constructed with GORE-TEX fabric and fully sealed seams to provide a 100% waterproof and windproof barrier.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
Yes, when paired with the compatible Retro Denali fleece, the jacket provides sufficient warmth for most winter environments.
What does the relaxed fit mean for sizing?
The relaxed fit is designed to accommodate multiple layers underneath without restricting your movement; consider your normal size unless you prefer a very slim look.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Wash it whenever it becomes visibly dirty or if you notice breathability decreasing, usually after a season of regular use.
Does the hood provide protection against strong wind?
Yes, the adjustable hood is designed to stay in place and protect your face from heavy wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the outer surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray, then tumble dry on low to reactivate.
Internal condensation buildup during use
Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow and moisture wicking during high-exertion activities.
Zip-in fleece is not attaching properly
Ensure you are using a compatible North Face fleece model, specifically the Retro Denali, and verify that the zipper teeth are aligned at the start of the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life and performance of your jacket, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Layering: Always utilize the zip-in feature with compatible North Face mid-layers like the Retro Denali fleece to maintain thermal efficiency.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical cleaner designed for GORE-TEX. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the membrane pores.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing to restore the jacket's waterproof capability.
