FAQs

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The jacket is made from high-quality fleece, known for its warmth and comfort.

Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?

It is excellent as a mid-layer for cold weather or as an outer layer in mild conditions. For very cold weather, it's recommended to layer it with a waterproof and windproof shell.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to The North Face's general sizing chart for women's apparel. This model is designed for a comfortable, layered fit, so consider if you prefer a looser or more snug feel.

Can this jacket be worn for sports?

Yes, its breathability and warmth make it suitable for light to moderate outdoor activities like hiking, walking, or camping.

How do I care for the zipper?

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. If it feels stiff, you can lubricate it with a bit of graphite from a pencil.

Does it come in other colors?

Yes, The North Face often offers this style in a variety of colors. Please check the product listing or other available variants for color options.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid excessive friction during washing and drying. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills.
