FAQs

Is this hoodie suitable for cold winter weather?

No, the Essential Light Relaxed Hoodie is made from lightweight French terry and is designed for warmer temperatures or as a layering piece. It does not provide significant insulation for cold weather.

What is the material composition?

The hoodie is made from 100% cotton French terry.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The hoodie features a relaxed fit. Refer to The North Face's sizing chart for specific measurements and compare them to your own body measurements for the best fit.

Can I put this hoodie in the dryer?

It is recommended to hang the hoodie to dry. Machine drying may cause shrinkage and damage the fabric.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash warm or less with similar colors. Do not bleach. Hang to dry.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it features a large kangaroo pocket on the front for hand warming and storage.

Is the hood adjustable?

Troubleshooting

Hoodie feels too loose or baggy.

Adjust the hood drawstrings for a tighter fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's fit guide.

Color appears faded after washing.

Ensure you are washing with similar colors and using a gentle cycle. Hang drying instead of machine drying can also help preserve color.

Fabric feels less soft than before.

Avoid using fabric softeners. Consider a gentle wash cycle with a mild detergent and hang drying.
