Ideal For
This hoodie is designed for men seeking a versatile, warm, and comfortable garment for light outdoor activities and daily use. Ideal for:
- Light trekking and autumn/winter mountain walks

- Leisure and outdoor weekends (camping, hiking, travel)
- Layering under a jacket or down jacket for very cold temperatures
- Non-technical outdoor activities where comfort and warmth are needed
When NOT to choose it
It is not suitable for intense sports activities with high perspiration (running, fast cycling), extreme temperatures below -10°C without additional layers, heavy rain (not waterproof). For intense sports, prefer technical breathable 100% polyester hoodies. For rain, layer with a waterproof hardshell jacket. Cotton absorbs moisture and dries slowly: avoid use in very humid conditions or wet snow.
Care and Maintenance
Washing: machine wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle, turn inside out to protect the logo and brushed back, use neutral liquid detergent. Drying: lay flat or hang, avoid tumble drying which can shrink cotton (up to 5% shrinkage). Ironing: medium iron inside out if necessary, avoid direct contact with the logo. Storage: fold or hang on a hanger, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can fade black.
Size Guide
The North Face fits regular/slightly generous to allow for layering. If you are between two sizes or prefer a looser fit, choose the larger size. XS: chest 86-91cm, S: 91-96cm, M: 96-101cm, L: 101-106cm, XL: 106-111cm, XXL: 111-116cm. Note that cotton can shrink 3-5% after the first few washes.
Recommended Pairings
Complete your outdoor look with The North Face or CMP trekking trousers for brand coordination, jeans or chinos for casual urban style, a technical t-shirt or thermal shirt as a base layer, a The North Face hardshell jacket for rain protection, and outdoor sneakers or trekking boots. For harsh winters, layer with a light down jacket under an outer jacket.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it warm enough for winter? Yes, up to 5-10°C as an outer layer, below 5°C layer with a jacket or down jacket. Can I use it for running?

It can shrink 3-5% after the first washes at 30°C, consider this when choosing the size. Is it waterproof? No, polycotton is not waterproof; for rain, layer with a waterproof jacket. Can I tumble dry it? Not recommended: tumble drying shrinks cotton and damages the brushed back, prefer natural drying.
