Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up and that the cuffs and hood are adjusted to minimize drafts. Check for any damage or compression of the down.
Down is clumping after washing.
Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to redistribute the down and restore loft.
The jacket is losing feathers.
This is normal, especially with new down jackets. Avoid pulling the feathers out and gently push them back in. If the problem persists, contact The North Face customer service.
