Is the ThermoBall jacket warm enough for winter?

It works for fall and mild winter days, especially layered. In hard freezes it is too light on its own.

Does it pack into its own pocket?

Yes. It stuffs into a hand pocket and compresses small enough for a daypack.

How does ThermoBall compare to down?

ThermoBall is synthetic and keeps insulating when wet, while down is warmer for its weight but loses loft when damp.

What is the fit like?

It has a relaxed cut with room for a sweater underneath. Buyers who want a trim look often size down.

No. The shell resists light rain but is not a waterproof rain jacket.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softener, which can flatten the fill.

About the The North Face Men's Thermoball Hooded Jacket

The North Face ThermoBall Hooded Jacket is a lightweight men's insulated jacket built for fall and winter. It uses synthetic ThermoBall clusters that keep lofting when damp, packs into its own pocket, and has a hood and water-resistant shell for light rain.
