FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Aconcagua 3 Hoodie?
The main benefit is its dual insulation system, which provides reliable warmth even in damp conditions, combined with a water-repellent finish for protection against light moisture.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
The hoodie offers good warmth for mild to cool conditions and is excellent as a mid-layer. For extremely cold weather, consider layering it under a heavier insulated jacket or a waterproof shell.
How do I find the right size?
The product description states it runs true to size, with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual size. Refer to The North Face sizing chart for precise measurements.
How should I wash the hoodie?
It is machine washable. Use a cold water setting, tumble dry on low, do not bleach, and do not iron. Always refer to the care label on the garment for the most accurate instructions.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this hoodie?
The water-repellent finish helps to shed light rain or moisture, preventing it from soaking into the fabric quickly. It is not fully waterproof.
Can this hoodie be worn by men?
This specific model is designed for women. The North Face offers men's versions of the Aconcagua hoodie, which may have different sizing and fit.
What is the insulation made of?
The main body is insulated with a 50/50 blend of 600-fill waterfowl down and polyester. Zoned areas use polyester sheet insulation.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. You can try gently wiggling the zipper or applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Hood is not staying in place.
Adjust the cinch-cord and cord lock located at the back of the hood for a snugger fit.
Reduced loft or warmth after washing.
Ensure the item is completely dry and tumble dry on low with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore the loft of the insulation.
