FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of fleece and is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
Can I attach this to any North Face jacket?
It is specifically designed for compatibility with the North Face Triclimate layer system. Always verify your outer shell supports the zip-in integration.
How should I wash this garment?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or air dry to preserve the fabric quality.
What is a zip garage?
A zip garage is a small pocket of fabric at the top of the zipper that covers the pull, preventing it from rubbing against your neck or chin.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The garment features mechanical stretch binding at the cuffs, collar, and hem, which provides added durability and a flexible fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the zipper teeth and gently clean the track with a soft brush to remove dust or lint.
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb to safely remove surface pilling that may occur over time with regular friction.
Triclimate layer not aligning
Double-check that both the shell and the fleece are from the official The North Face Triclimate compatible line, as zippers may not match across different series.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To utilize the Triclimate feature, align the jacket's centre front zipper with the corresponding internal zipper of your outer shell layer. Ensure the garment is fully zipped up before connecting the two pieces.
For care, machine wash the fleece in cold water on a gentle cycle. To maintain the integrity of the fleece fabric and the stretch binding, it is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can impact the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic material.
