The North Face Reversible Perrito Hooded Jacket - Black

This jacket is machine washable. We recommend checking the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions on temperature and cycle settings. Generally, a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent is suitable. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

The jacket features a Non-PFC DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish, which provides protection from light moisture and fabric saturation. It is water-repellent, not fully waterproof, meaning it will repel light rain but may eventually wet out in prolonged heavy downpours.

While 'Children & Youth' typically covers a broad age range, specific sizing relates more to height and chest measurements. It's crucial to refer to The North Face's size chart to find the precise fit for your child, as ages can vary significantly for the same size.

The jacket can be worn inside out, offering two distinct looks. One side typically features one color or design, while the reverse side offers a different color or pattern. Simply turn the jacket inside out to switch up the style.

The Circular Design initiative is a program by The North Face aimed at minimizing waste and pollution by designing products that can be recycled back into new materials or products at the end of their life. This jacket is part of this initiative, encouraging responsible end-of-life recycling.

Yes, The North Face specifically recommends going a size up for the Reversible Perrito Hooded Jacket to ensure the best and most comfortable fit, especially when worn over layers. This recommendation helps account for active movement and growth.

Yes, the jacket is designed with functional pockets on both the outer and reverse sides. It features a secure-zip chest pocket on the outer and open hand pockets on both the outer and reverse for convenience, regardless of how it's worn.

Ensure the jacket is appropriately layered over base and mid-layers for the specific temperature. While warm, extreme cold may require additional insulation. Also, verify the fit is correct; a too-large jacket can create cold pockets, and a too-small jacket can compress insulation.

The DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish may need to be refreshed. First, ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede DWR. If cleaning doesn't help, consider applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel, following the product instructions.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush. If it remains stiff, apply a zipper lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers to help it glide smoothly. Avoid harsh oils or grease.

The North Face recommends going a size up for this jacket. If you followed this recommendation and it still feels small, consult the size chart again to ensure the correct size was chosen based on your child's measurements. A fit that is too tight can compress the insulation and reduce warmth.

Ensure the jacket is correctly oriented if using the reversible feature. Sometimes, the interior pockets may feel different than the exterior ones. Check for any fabric obstructions or debris within the pocket or around the zipper.
