Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does 600-fill recycled down insulation mean?
600-fill down indicates the down's ability to expand and trap air, providing excellent thermal insulation with minimal weight. Recycled down offers the same high performance as virgin down while also helping protect the environment.

Is the The North Face Hydrenalite jacket waterproof?
It features a Non-PFC DWR water-repellent finish that repels water, splashes and light snow. For prolonged heavy rain, wearing a waterproof shell over the jacket is recommended.

How can I adjust the fit around the waist?
It features an internal drawcord with cord locks at the hem, allowing you to tighten it to prevent icy air from entering underneath.

How can I restore the loft of the down after washing?
Tumble drying at a low temperature with tennis balls is the ideal way to fluff up the down again and distribute it evenly throughout the jacket's baffles.
