FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, this jacket features a water-repellent coating, which provides protection against light drizzles and splashes, but it is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy rain.
What age range is this jacket for?
This specific variant is sized for children aged 9-10 years. The North Face offers similar jackets for various kids' age groups.
Can this jacket be used in cold weather?
This is primarily a wind jacket, designed to keep chills at bay. While it provides a good outer layer, it does not offer significant insulation for very cold temperatures. For colder conditions, it should be layered over insulating garments like fleeces or sweaters.
How do I clean the jacket?
Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the jacket is equipped with zippered hand pockets for secure storage of small items.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The body of the jacket is made from 100% polyamide, and the lining and pocket lining are 100% polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively
The water-repellent coating may need re-activating or reapplying. After washing according to care label, tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for outdoor apparel.
Zipper is stuck or difficult to move
Gently try to move the slider. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and carefully remove it. A small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil can sometimes help to ease movement.
Jacket feels less windproof over time
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can compromise fabric performance. Follow care instructions precisely. If the fabric itself is damaged, its windproof properties may be permanently affected.
Unpleasant odor despite washing
If odors persist, try washing with a specialized technical fabric cleaner instead of regular detergent. Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried before storage to prevent mildew.
