This guide is for outdoor enthusiasts and active individuals seeking lightweight protection from wind and light rain. The key benefit is its WindWall™ technology combined with DWR water repellency, offering breathable windproof protection. A potential caveat is that it's designed for light moisture and may not be sufficient for heavy downpours. The North Face Fontanales Wind Jacket is a versatile outerwear piece made from 100% woven polyester, featuring windproof capabilities, water repellency, secure zip pockets, and a packable design.

WindWall™ is a fabric technology developed by The North Face that significantly reduces wind permeability while maintaining a good level of breathability. It helps to block out chilling winds without causing you to overheat.
No, the jacket features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which means it can repel light moisture and prevent saturation from light rain or mist. It is not waterproof and will not withstand heavy downpours.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and ironing. Ensure zippers are closed before washing.
The main advantage is convenience. The jacket can be stowed into its own pocket, making it very compact and easy to carry in a backpack, purse, or even a large pocket when not needed.
The jacket is primarily a windbreaker and offers minimal insulation. It is best suited for mild to cool conditions where wind is a factor. For colder weather, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.
It is ideal for activities such as trail running, hiking, camping, cycling, and general outdoor use where protection from wind and light moisture is needed without sacrificing breathability.
The jacket is designed with a standard fit for an easy, comfortable feel and allows for layering. It generally fits true to size.
This can be due to trapped moisture from high exertion. Ensure the full zip is open for ventilation or consider a more breathable outer layer for intense activities. Check that the DWR finish is still effective.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. It's time to reapply a DWR treatment suitable for polyester outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow it to dry completely. You can also apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold or roll it tightly towards the pocket opening. Some initial stiffness might occur with new garments.
