The North Face Mountain Water Resistant Long Sleeve Rain Anorak - S - Brown

PFC-free means the water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are harmful to the environment. The jacket still provides effective water resistance, though reapplication might be needed over time according to care instructions.

If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in, it's time to reapply. You can test this by flicking a few drops of water onto the jacket.

The anorak offers good water resistance for light to moderate rain and showery conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket with sealed seams would be more appropriate.

It is best suited for cool, damp, or windy conditions, and for protection against light rain during activities like hiking, camping, or everyday wear.

The jacket is designed to be folded and stuffed into one of its own pockets, creating a compact bundle that is easy to carry in a backpack or bag.

The jacket is made from a PFC-free water-repellent ripstop fabric, primarily Nylon based on available information.

The PFC-free water-repellent treatment may need refreshing. Follow the care instructions for reapplying a suitable water-repellent finish.

Review the sizing chart carefully before purchase. Adjust the elasticated hood, hem, and cuffs for a more secure fit. Consider trying on different sizes if possible.

Ensure the snaps are properly aligned before fastening. If they feel stiff, use them a few times to loosen them up. Avoid forcing them.
