Product Information

Full details

The North Face Oxara Hooded Fleece is a reliable, cosy mid-layer designed specifically for active women who enjoy hiking and outdoor adventures in cooler conditions. It provides exceptional warmth and layering versatility through its soft polyester construction and relaxed fit; however, users should note that the fleece lacks windproof or waterproof membranes, making it best suited for use under a shell during inclement weather.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Oxara Hooded Fleece is made of polyester and does not have a waterproof membrane. It should be worn under a rain shell in wet conditions.

Can I wear this for intense mountain climbing?

It is better suited for hiking and casual outdoor activities. The relaxed fit may be less ideal for highly technical, high-intensity climbing.

How should I size the fleece?

The item is a relaxed fit. If you prefer a closer, athletic fit for layering, you might consider this sizing carefully, as it is designed to be slightly looser.

Is the material machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a cold, gentle cycle and avoiding bleach or harsh chemicals.

Does it have any pockets other than the kangaroo pocket?

The design features a classic kangaroo pocket for accessibility and warmth, but it does not have additional zippered security pockets.

Troubleshooting

Pilling on the surface of the fabric

Pilling is common with synthetic fleeces. Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz.

Static buildup

Use a gentle fabric conditioner during the rinse cycle or a dryer sheet if necessary, but keep heat settings low.

Loss of shape at the hem

Check the adjustable hem toggle to ensure it is locked into place; if the toggle is loose, ensure the cord is correctly threaded.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to layer over other garments
  • Soft, skin-friendly material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Oxara fleece maintains its loft and warmth, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water with mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric's integrity; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it can cause the synthetic fibers to lose their soft texture.
  3. Compatibility: This garment pairs perfectly with The North Face rain shells or windbreakers for a complete weather-ready outfit.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the red fabric.
