The North Face Seasonal Mountain Jacket - Black

No, the jacket features a Non-PFC Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which offers high-quality resistance against light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

This is a seasonal jacket, meaning it provides protection from wind and light elements. For very cold winter conditions, we recommend layering it over insulating mid-layers, as it does not provide significant standalone thermal insulation.

Locate the designated packable pocket (often one of the side pockets). Turn the pocket inside out and begin stuffing the jacket into it, starting with the sleeves and hood, then working your way to the body of the jacket until it's fully enclosed.

The jacket is made from fine polyester, featuring a ripstop weave for enhanced durability and a Non-PFC durable water-repellent finish.

Machine wash the jacket inside out. Always check the care label inside your jacket for specific washing instructions, including temperature settings and recommended detergents. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.

The product description mentions two side zip pockets. Info needed: There is no specific mention of internal pockets for this model.

Info needed: Please refer to The North Face official website or contact customer service for specific warranty information applicable to your region and purchase.

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Wash the jacket using a DWR-specific cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the finish, or apply a DWR re-treatment spray according to product instructions.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper with a small brush. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or wax) to the teeth.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage. If odors persist, re-wash with a technical garment cleaner designed for outdoor apparel, or add a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (inside out) to neutralize odors.

Utilize the adjustable features. Tighten or loosen the drawcord at the hood and the elasticated hem for a customized fit around the head and waist. Adjust the drawcord tunnel at the elbow to fine-tune sleeve comfort.

While the jacket is designed for packability, some creasing can occur. Hang the jacket immediately after unpacking, or for persistent creases, a low-heat iron (with a protective cloth) or steaming can be used, ensuring not to apply direct heat to logos or DWR coating.
