The North Face Yumiori Vest

The North Face Yumiori Vest in TNF Black provides a versatile and sustainable solution for core insulation during outdoor activities or daily commutes. This midweight fleece is engineered to solve the problem of fluctuating temperatures, offering reliable warmth that functions perfectly as a standalone layer or a thermal mid-layer. Built from high-quality recycled materials, the construction features a dense fleece weave that traps heat effectively while remaining breathable. As part of a circular design initiative, this garment is crafted to be durable for long-term use and fully recyclable at the end of its lifespan, ensuring a lower environmental impact without compromising on technical performance. Key Features Manufactured from recycled polyester fleece to provide eco-conscious warmth and soft comfort. Features a secure VISLON centre front zip with an auto-lock slider for smooth operation. Includes a vertical chest pocket and two hand pockets, all fitted with reliable zips for secure storage. Reinforced mechanical-stretch binding at the armholes and hem enhances overall durability. Internal cinch-cord at the hem allows for a customisable fit to seal out cold drafts. Embroidered branding on the chest and shoulder provides a clean, professional finish. At Urban Industry we recommend High-altitude hiking where a packable, lightweight warm layer is essential. Layering under a waterproof shell for maximum protection in wet and cold conditions. Casual daily wear for those who require a functional, low-bulk vest for urban environments. Transitioning between seasons when a full jacket is too heavy for the current climate. Style, Fit and Sizing Designed in a standard fit that stays true to size, offering a comfortable and easy silhouette. The sleeveless design and flexible binding allow for an unrestricted range of motion during physical activity. We recommend choosing your usual size for the best balance between layering room and heat retention. Washing and Care Instructions Machine wash at 40°C or below with similar colours to maintain the fleece texture. Turn the garment inside out and ensure all zips are fully closed before washing to prevent damage. Allow the vest to hang dry naturally rather than using a tumble dryer to preserve the fibres. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the technical properties of the recycled material.
