FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
The Yumiori Full-Zip Fleece is an excellent mid-layer for winter sports like skiing or snowboarding, providing crucial insulation. However, it needs to be worn under a waterproof and windproof outer shell for full protection against the elements.
What is the best way to layer this fleece?
For optimal warmth and moisture management, wear this fleece over a thin, moisture-wicking base layer (e.g., thermal top). For colder or wet conditions, add a waterproof and windproof jacket as your outermost layer.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
No, this fleece jacket is not waterproof or water-resistant. It will absorb water and lose some of its insulating properties when wet. For rainy conditions, you will need a waterproof outer shell.
How should I store this jacket?
Store your fleece jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Hanging it will help maintain its shape, but folding is also acceptable as long as it's not compressed for long periods.
Does this jacket run true to size?
The North Face generally designs its apparel with a regular fit, which tends to run true to size. For specific measurements or to confirm fit, we recommend consulting The North Face's official sizing chart.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, fleece material, including that used in the Yumiori jacket, is known for its breathability. This helps to regulate body temperature by allowing excess heat and moisture vapor to escape, making it comfortable during active use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before wearing. Over-drying at high heat can sometimes damage fleece fibers. Air dry flat if possible, or tumble dry on very low heat.
Fleece is pilling (small balls of fiber appearing).
Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle. You can carefully remove existing pills with a fabric shaver or a lint comb.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently rub a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Jacket collects a lot of lint or pet hair.
Fleece can be prone to static and attracting particles. Use a lint roller regularly. Washing with an anti-static dryer sheet can also help reduce static cling.

Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure your fleece jacket retains its warmth, softness, and appearance for years to come. Always refer to the specific care label inside your garment for the most accurate instructions.
- Machine Wash Cold: Wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the fleece fibers.
- Tumble Dry Low: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry flat to prevent shrinkage and maintain the fabric's integrity. High heat can damage fleece.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can melt or flatten fleece fibers, ruining the texture and warmth properties.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning chemicals can be too harsh for fleece material.
