FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The Lhotse Jacket is designed for warmth and protection against cold, windy, and moderately wet conditions, making it ideal for urban winter use.
How do I know if the XS size is right for me?
This jacket is an XS size for men. Refer to The North Face's official sizing chart for specific measurements of chest, waist, and sleeve length to ensure a proper fit.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or snow. For heavy downpours, a waterproof outer shell would be more appropriate.
How should I clean the goose feather filling?

What materials is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from Ripstop nylon with a water-repellent finish and filled with goose feather padding.
Does the jacket have an adjustable hood?
This specific model, the Lhotse Jacket, typically features a raised collar and does not include an adjustable hood. Please refer to product images for confirmation.
What is the difference between this jacket and other North Face models?
The Lhotse Jacket is specifically engineered for warmth and durability with down insulation and a water-repellent finish, often featuring a color-block design suitable for urban environments.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and that the down has been re-lofted. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls according to care instructions.
Water repellency has decreased
The water-repellent finish can be renewed using a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product's instructions.
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a bit of wax. Avoid forcing the zipper.
