The North Face Reversible Perrito Hooded Jacket - Black

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

The jacket is machine washable. For best results, follow the care label instructions, typically washing in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and tumble drying on low. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the DWR finish and insulation.

The jacket is designed to be worn inside out, offering two distinct looks from a single garment. Both sides feature the same functional benefits, including warmth and water repellency, providing versatile style options.

The 'Circular Design' initiative means this product is crafted to minimize waste and pollution throughout its lifecycle. It's designed to be recyclable, and The North Face encourages customers to return the garment when it's no longer needed so its materials can be repurposed, contributing to a more sustainable system.

Yes, the jacket is filled with 100% recycled synthetic insulation, which is specifically designed to maintain warmth even in damp or wet conditions. This is a key advantage over some natural insulations that lose thermal efficiency when wet.

The North Face recommends going a size up from your child's usual size to get the most out of this product and allow for comfortable layering and room to grow. Always refer to the specific size chart provided by The North Face for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit.

Yes, the jacket features open hand pockets on both the outer and reverse sides for convenience. Additionally, there is a secure-zip chest pocket on the outer side for securing small essentials like keys or lip balm.

Ensure proper layering underneath. While the jacket provides excellent warmth, very cold conditions may require additional base layers. Also, confirm the jacket size is appropriate; The North Face recommends sizing up to ensure optimal fit and thermal efficiency.

The Non-PFC DWR finish can wear off over time with use and washing. Machine wash the jacket according to the care instructions. If water repellency doesn't improve, consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray specifically designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.

Check to make sure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite or a specialized zipper wax) can be applied to the teeth, being careful not to stain the fabric.
