FAQs

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The body and lining of the jacket are made with recycled polyester.

Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?

The jacket is designed to be water-resistant, providing protection against rain and moisture. It features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

Refer to the size chart provided by The North Face and measure your child. This specific guide refers to the 7-8 years size. The jacket should allow for comfortable movement and layering underneath.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the jacket features secure-zip hand pockets, meaning they have zippers to keep items safely stored.

What is the purpose of the reflective bar?

The reflective bar on the side of the sleeves is designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions, enhancing safety.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This jacket is primarily a rain shell and offers lightweight warmth. For colder conditions, it is best layered over insulating clothing like a fleece or down jacket.

How should I wash the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and ironing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Ensure the jacket is clean and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't help, consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is not caught. If it's stiff, you can use a pencil lead (graphite) or a small amount of wax to lubricate the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Small stain on the fabric.

For minor stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse the area with clean water and allow to air dry. For tougher stains, follow the machine washing instructions.
