Return Policy

The North Face offers 30 Days Free Returns on eligible items. Please review the return requirements below before sending anything back, and contact customer service first so we can provide the correct return instructions and return details.

30 Days Free Returns

The North Face provides 30 Days Free Returns for eligible items. Your return request must be started within 30 days of receiving your order.

Customers must contact customer service before sending any return. Returns sent without contacting customer service first may not be accepted.

Return Eligibility

To be eligible for a return, the item must meet the return window, condition, and product eligibility requirements listed in this policy.

  • The return request must be started within 30 days of receiving the order.
  • The item must be in its original condition.
  • The item must be unworn, unused, unwashed, and unaltered.
  • Original tags, labels, accessories, and packaging should be included when available.
  • Proof of purchase, order number, or the email used at checkout may be required.

Item Condition Requirements

Returned items are reviewed after they are received. Items that show wear, washing, damage, odor, stains, missing parts, removed tags, or signs of use may not qualify for a refund.

Please package your return carefully to help protect the item during transit.
