FAQs
What is DryVent™ technology?
DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that uses a durable, waterproof, and breathable coating or fabric construction to keep you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
Is the insulation warm enough for very cold weather?
The Heatseeker™ Eco insulation provides good warmth for cool and wet conditions. For extremely cold temperatures, layering with a warmer mid-layer or base layer is recommended.
How do I know if I should size up?
The North Face recommends sizing up to ensure the best fit and allow for growth or layering. Refer to the specific product's size chart provided by The North Face for detailed measurements.
Can this jacket be used in light snow?
Yes, the waterproof and insulated design makes it suitable for light snow conditions. However, for heavy or prolonged snow exposure, a jacket with more robust insulation might be preferred.
Are the recycled materials as durable as virgin materials?
Yes, The North Face uses recycled materials that meet their high standards for durability and performance. The ripstop nylon construction further enhances its resilience.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
The need to reapply the DWR finish depends on usage and care. Generally, if water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and begins to soak in, it's time to consider reapplying.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and then use a DWR spray or wash-in treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear. Ensure it's completely dry afterwards.
Zipper is difficult to zip or unzip.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Fleece lining feels matted or less soft.
This can happen after many washes. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes help to fluff up the fleece fibers.
Reflective details appear worn.
Reflective elements can degrade over time with heavy use and washing. While this is normal wear and tear, avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh cleaning agents directly on the reflective areas.
