FAQs
Is the Aconcagua Jacket fully waterproof?
It is water-repellent due to the non-PFC DWR finish, which protects against light precipitation, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof jacket.
Can I wear this as a mid-layer?
Yes, it is designed for layering and features Triclimate compatibility to integrate with compatible outer shells.
How should I wash this jacket?
Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor apparel.
What is the fit like?
It features a regular fit, meaning it is comfortable and true to size, allowing for moderate layering underneath without feeling overly restrictive.
Is the insulation material sustainable?
Yes, the jacket uses recycled insulation to minimize its environmental footprint.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Ensure no loose fabric is caught in the track, and clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or salt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket lasts, always refer to the internal care label. For cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent to avoid stripping the DWR finish. Periodically, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment if water beads stop forming on the surface. When storing, keep the jacket in a dry, cool place and avoid compressing it under heavy items for extended periods to preserve the loft of the insulation. The jacket is compatible with The North Face Triclimate layering system, allowing you to zip it into a compatible outer shell if conditions become severe.
