Product Information

Full details

This jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is its waterproof, windproof, and breathable DryVent™ technology, keeping you dry and comfortable in challenging weather. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may require careful sizing for those preferring a looser or tighter silhouette. Key features include a protective hood, full zip closure, secure zip pockets, and durable polyester construction with a PFC-free water-repellent finish.

FAQs

What does DryVent™ technology mean for me?

DryVent™ technology ensures the jacket is waterproof, windproof, and breathable. This means it will keep you protected from rain and wind while allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, keeping you comfortable and dry from the inside out.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. While it can be layered over insulating clothing for warmth, it is not a heavily insulated winter coat on its own.

How do I determine the correct size?

The jacket has a regular fit. We recommend referring to The North Face's official sizing chart for men to find the best fit based on your chest, waist, and sleeve measurements. It's often advised to take your usual size.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold with like colors, using powder detergent. Follow the specific care instructions provided to maintain its performance and longevity.

What is the 'Non-PFC Durable Water-Repellent finish'?

This refers to a water-repellent treatment applied to the fabric that does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are considered more environmentally friendly. This finish helps water bead up and roll off the surface.

How do I care for the zippers?

To keep zippers functioning smoothly, clean them periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grit. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied if they become stiff.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for hiking, trekking, trail running, camping, and general outdoor use where protection from rain and wind is needed. It's also suitable for everyday wear in unpredictable weather.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a new DWR treatment, such as those available from Nikwax or Grangers.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.

This could be due to insufficient ventilation or high humidity. Ensure the front zipper and chest pocket zipper are used appropriately for airflow. High internal moisture can also be from sweat; ensure you are wearing breathable base layers.
