FAQs

Is The North Face Yumiori Full-Zip Fleece Jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of fleece and is designed for warmth and insulation, not for waterproofing. In rainy conditions, it's recommended to wear a waterproof outer shell over it.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?

The Yumiori fleece provides excellent warmth for its weight. For very cold winter conditions, it's best used as a mid-layer underneath a heavier, insulated, and windproof outer jacket to maximize thermal protection.

How should I wash this fleece jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent damage and pilling.

Does this jacket have an inside pocket?

Based on the product description, the jacket features a zipped chest pocket and zipped hand pockets externally. There is no mention of an internal pocket.

Is this jacket true to size?

Generally, The North Face apparel is designed with standard sizing. However, for the most accurate fit, it is always recommended to consult the specific size chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer.

Does it offer any wind protection?

While fleece provides some barrier against light breezes, it is not inherently windproof. For windy conditions, particularly in colder temperatures, layering with a dedicated windproof outer shell is advisable.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm or appears flattened.

Fleece can lose loft and warmth if compressed or after extended use. Ensure it's washed correctly to restore loft, and avoid over-compressing it when packed. Layering effectively also helps maintain warmth.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appears on the fleece surface.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash the jacket inside out, avoid abrasive surfaces, and ensure zippers are closed before washing. A fabric shaver can carefully remove existing pills.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. A graphite pencil rubbed along the teeth can also act as a lubricant to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care This fleece jacket requires no special setup; simply wear it as needed. Compatibility is a key strength for layering: - Base Layers: Wear it over moisture-wicking base layers for optimal temperature regulation during active use. - Outer Shells: Combine it with a waterproof or windproof outer shell for enhanced protection in adverse weather conditions. Care Instructions for your fleece jacket are straightforward to ensure its longevity and maintain its insulating properties: 1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. 2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fleece fibers and reduce its breathability and warmth. 3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, lay flat or hang to air dry. High heat can cause fleece to melt or pill. 4. Ironing: Do not iron. 5. Storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
