This jacket is primarily for rain and wind protection. For very cold weather, layering with warm mid-layers like fleece or down is recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to The North Face sizing chart and compare your measurements. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath, which might require sizing up.

What is the warranty on this jacket?

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof finish.

Does this jacket have an insulated lining?

No, this jacket features a shell design and is not insulated. It is intended for protection against elements, with warmth provided by any layers worn underneath.

What does 'TNF Black' mean?

'TNF Black' is The North Face's specific name for their black colorway, ensuring consistency across their product lines.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stuck

Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or lip balm to the teeth around the stuck area and try again.

Water is seeping through

The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment. Check seam seals for any damage.

Jacket feels damp inside

This could be due to high humidity or insufficient ventilation. Ensure the pit zips (if applicable) are open and the hood is adjusted properly.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat to help soften the fabric.
