The jacket features a water-resistant finish on the ripstop shell, which sheds light snow and rain, but it is not fully waterproof.
This jacket features a classic, boxy 90s silhouette. It fits true to size if you intend to layer, but you may want to size down if you prefer a more tailored fit.
While it is not a dedicated compressible layer, the down insulation is highly resilient and can be packed down moderately without long-term damage.
Shake off excess water and hang it to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Once mostly dry, tumble dry on low to restore loft.
The North Face uses responsibly sourced down, ensuring the down is certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS).
This is normal for down products. Do not pull the feather out, which creates a larger hole; instead, push the feather back inside from the opposite side and rub the fabric to reseal the opening.
The down may be clumped. Ensure the jacket is completely dry by using a tumble dryer on low with dryer balls to fluff the feathers back into position.
To ensure your jacket maintains its loft and water resistance, proper care is essential. When the jacket arrives, it may appear flattened from shipping; gently shaking and hanging the garment in a warm space will help the down insulation regain its loft. For cleaning, use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent specifically formulated for down products. Always tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to prevent the down from clumping. Avoid storing the jacket in a compressed state for long periods; hang it in a cool, dry closet to preserve the structure and insulation quality.
