FAQs
How do I clean the jacket?

Use a down-specific detergent to preserve the down's natural oils and loft.
Can I iron the jacket?
No, ironing can damage the fabric and the down insulation. Avoid ironing.
How do I store the jacket?

What is the warranty?

What is the fill power of the down?

Is the jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. It can handle light rain and snow, but not prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are escaping.
This is normal, especially with new jackets. Gently pull the feathers back inside. Avoid pulling them out. If the issue persists, contact The North Face customer service.
The jacket feels less warm.
Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Check if the down has clumped and needs to be fluffed, using a tumble dryer on low heat with tennis balls. Consider re-lofting the down by drying it on low heat.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is still effective. If not, reapply a DWR treatment, following the product instructions.
