FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the fleece is designed to repel moisture but is not waterproof. It should be worn under a rain shell in wet conditions.

Can I wear this as a base layer?

It is designed as a mid-layer. It is best worn over a moisture-wicking base layer for the best thermal performance.

How should I wash the jacket?

Wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid fabric softener, and air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric properties.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the fleece is engineered for active use, allowing moisture vapor to escape during high-exertion activities.

What does 'Circular Design' mean?

It is a North Face initiative focused on creating products that can be easily recycled or reused to reduce environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than when new

This is often caused by build-up from detergents or fabric softeners. Re-wash using a technical fabric cleaner to strip away residue.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no fabric lint is caught in the teeth. Gently clean the zipper track with a soft toothbrush to remove debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for hiking
  • Moisture-wicking properties keep you dry
  • Versatile design transitions well from trail to town
  • Sustainable design philosophy
  • Reliable full-zip mechanism for ventilation

Cons

  • Not intended as a standalone waterproof layer
  • Requires a shell for severe weather protection
  • Regular fit may be loose for those preferring a tight base-layer feel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the moisture-repellent fabric, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, machine wash your fleece in cold water with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and diminish the moisture-wicking and heat-retaining performance. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent premature fiber breakdown caused by high heat in a tumble dryer. For optimal performance, wear this as your 'mid-layer' in a three-layer system: base layer, this fleece, and a waterproof/breathable outer shell.
