Full details

FAQs

Is this parka insulated?

The North Face Parka features a DryVent 2L shell for waterproof and breathable protection, but it does not have built-in insulation. It is designed to be layered with warmer clothing for colder conditions.

How do I clean the parka to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Tumble dry low. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Periodically reapplying a DWR treatment is recommended to maintain its water-repellent properties.

What does DryVent 2L mean?

DryVent 2L refers to a two-layer waterproof and breathable technology used in The North Face outerwear. It provides a durable outer layer that shields against wet weather while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

While the parka offers excellent wind and rain protection, it is a shell. For very cold weather, you will need to layer a warm fleece or down jacket underneath it.

What kind of warranty does The North Face offer on this product?

The North Face typically offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to The North Face's official website or contact their customer service for specific warranty details related to this model.

Are the hand pockets waterproof?

The hand pockets are flapped, providing good protection against rain. However, they are not sealed like dedicated waterproof pockets, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain might allow some moisture through.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow care instructions to wash the parka and consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof-technical outerwear.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Dry thoroughly and try a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Hood is not staying in place.

Adjust the drawcord at the front of the hood to tighten the fit around your face.
