Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It features a non-PFC DWR finish that protects against light moisture and light rain, but it is not a fully waterproof, seam-sealed garment.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent.

What does WINDWALL mean?

WINDWALL is a technology developed by The North Face to limit the amount of cold air that passes through the fabric, helping to reduce wind chill.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket is designed with a relaxed fit to accommodate layering. It is generally true to standard sizing if you intend to wear layers underneath.

Does it have an internal pocket?

It features a secure zipped chest pocket on the exterior and two welt hand pockets.

Is the insulation real down?

No, this jacket uses high-quality synthetic insulation, which is designed to retain warmth even when wet.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading up

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent treatment spray to the outer shell.

Zipper feels stiff or is sticking

Check for fabric caught in the teeth. If the zipper is clear, apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant to restore smooth movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind protection for cold-weather activities
  • Lightweight and durable polyester construction
  • Versatile layering capability thanks to the relaxed fit
  • Reliable insulation performance in various weather conditions

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy rain or prolonged downpours
  • Available only in specific sizes and colours
  • Synthetic insulation is generally heavier than high-fill power down

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nuketo jacket, follow these guidelines:

  • Layering: Take advantage of the relaxed fit to experiment with different mid-layers for varying temperature drops.
  • Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Adding a couple of clean tennis balls can help redistribute the synthetic insulation during the drying process.
  • DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface over time, consider using a specialized DWR re-treatment spray to restore the jacket's water-repellent finish.
