The North Face Teen Denali Jacket in White Dune is designed for active kids and teens in the 1-2 age range, offering reliable warmth and comfort for everyday adventures. Its key win is the exceptional insulation provided by its fleece construction, making it an ideal layer for cool to cold weather. However, as it's made from fleece, it's not waterproof and is best suited for dry conditions. This jacket combines durable materials with a classic design, ensuring lasting performance and a comfortable fit for outdoor play and casual wear.
Premium Fleece Material: Constructed from soft, insulating fleece fabric, providing excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and comfort.
Full-Zip Design: Features a full-length front zipper for easy on-and-off, and allows for adjustable ventilation to suit changing temperatures.
Iconic Denali Styling: Incorporates design elements from The North Face's classic Denali jacket, known for its durable construction and outdoor heritage.
Reinforced Areas: Often includes reinforced fabric on the shoulders and chest for enhanced durability in high-wear areas, protecting against abrasions.
Comfortable Fit: Tailored to allow for freedom of movement, ensuring comfort during active play or layering with other garments.
High Collar: Provides extra warmth and protection around the neck from wind and cold.
Excellent Warmth: Offers significant insulation for its weight, ideal for cool to cold weather.

Versatile Layering Piece: Can be worn as an outer layer in mild conditions or as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell for colder, wet environments.

Not Waterproof: The fleece material does not offer protection against rain or heavy snow.
Wind Permeability: While warm, strong winds can pass through fleece, potentially reducing its insulating effect without an outer shell.

The North Face Teen Denali Jacket is a versatile piece designed for a range of activities in cool, dry conditions. Its fleece construction makes it an excellent choice for everyday wear to school or for outdoor playtime in the park, providing consistent warmth without being bulky. For hiking or camping trips in autumn or spring, it performs well as a primary outer layer when temperatures drop. On colder days or during winter, it shines as a mid-layer, fitting comfortably under a waterproof or insulated jacket to boost overall warmth. The jacket's durable build is particularly suited for active kids, allowing for unrestricted movement during activities like climbing or running. Its quick-drying properties mean it's also practical for those spontaneous outdoor adventures, ensuring comfort even if it gets slightly damp from sweat or light moisture (though not rain). This jacket excels in providing cozy warmth for everything from a brisk walk in the woods to lounging at home.
Your Teen Denali Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it, and it's ready to wear! Ensure the size is appropriate for comfortable layering if desired.
Layering: This jacket is highly compatible with other clothing layers. It works perfectly over a lightweight base layer (like a long-sleeve tee) for mild conditions or under a waterproof shell jacket for protection against rain and wind in colder weather.
Activity: Suitable for a wide range of activities including school, casual wear, hiking, camping, and general outdoor play.
Proper care will help maintain the fleece's warmth and appearance.
Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Using a mild detergent is recommended.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry flat to preserve the fleece's loft and prevent excessive pilling. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the synthetic fibers.
Bleach & Ironing: Do not use bleach. Do not iron the jacket, as high heat will damage the fabric.
Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can build up on the fleece fibers and reduce their wicking and insulating properties.
Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.
