FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket is designed for cold, wet conditions and features Heatseeker™ insulation. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm garments is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'Dry Vent™' mean?
Dry Vent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof and breathable shell, designed to keep you dry from both external moisture and internal perspiration.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
Reapply the DWR finish when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear. Follow the DWR product's instructions.
Can I wear this jacket in mild weather?
While the jacket offers breathability, it is primarily designed for cold, wet conditions due to its insulation. It may be too warm for mild or warm weather.
What is the purpose of the ski pass pocket?
The ski pass pocket is conveniently located on the sleeve, allowing for quick and easy scanning at ski lift gates without needing to remove gloves or search through pockets.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure all seams are intact. Reapply a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to the outer fabric following product instructions. Clean the jacket thoroughly as per care instructions, as dirt can impede DWR effectiveness.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin) to the zipper teeth to improve glide. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Insulation feels lumpy or uneven
Gently wash and tumble dry on low heat as per care instructions. This can help redistribute the synthetic insulation fibers.
Hood is not fitting snugly
Adjust the elasticated drawcord at the hood opening to achieve a tighter fit. Ensure the hood is correctly positioned over your head.
