FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Huila Jacket is designed for utility and layering. It is not rated for heavy rain, though it can handle light mist.
Does it come with a hood?
This specific variant (NF0A85AE) is a non-hooded model, designed for a clean look under other jackets.
Can I use this with any brand of jacket?
The zip-in compatibility system is designed primarily for The North Face zip-in compatible shells.
How should I wash it?
Use a machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle, ensuring all zippers are closed to protect the hardware.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The jacket follows standard sizing; however, since it is designed for layering, it provides enough room for a base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Check for fabric debris caught in the track and clean with a soft brush; if it persists, use a small amount of zipper lubricant.

Ensure the jacket is folded tightly and that no air is trapped inside before compressing it into the pocket pouch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the zip-in function, align the loops at the neck and cuffs of the Huila jacket with the corresponding attachment points inside your compatible North Face shell. Ensure all snaps are fully engaged before zipping up the primary shell to guarantee the layers move as one. For care, it is recommended to zip all pockets before washing. Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials and the zipper hardware.
