FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on specific areas, making it water-resistant against light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
What does PFC-free DWR mean?
PFC-free DWR means the Durable Water Repellent treatment applied to the fabric does not contain per- and poly-fluorinated chemicals, which are often used in traditional DWR but can be harmful to the environment.
What season is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for cooler weather conditions in spring, fall, and mild winter days. It can be used as an outer layer in light conditions or as a warm mid-layer in colder temperatures with additional outer protection.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
This jacket is sized for 5-6 years. For the most accurate fit, it's recommended to consult The North Face's specific size chart, which typically provides measurements for chest, waist, and height.
Can I layer clothing under this jacket?
Yes, the Denali Jacket is designed with enough room to comfortably layer over base layers, t-shirts, or light sweaters, allowing for adaptable warmth in varying conditions.
How do I maintain the jacket's color and fabric?
To maintain the 'White Dune' color and fabric integrity, always follow the care instructions: machine wash cold, gentle cycle, with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low. Promptly treating any stains will also help.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems to be losing its water repellency.
The DWR coating can wear off over time. Try cleaning the jacket first, then consider applying a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel. Ensure the product is suitable for polyester fabrics.
Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to move.
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, try cleaning the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., zipper wax or silicone spray) to ease movement.
Stains are appearing on the 'White Dune' fabric.
For best results, treat stains as soon as possible. Gently dab the stain with a damp cloth and mild soap or a stain remover suitable for polyester, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the fabric.
Elastic cuffs or hem feel stretched out.
While normal wear can affect elasticity over time, ensure the jacket is not being stretched excessively during wear or storage. Always follow recommended washing and drying instructions, as high heat can sometimes affect elastic.
