FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a waterproof shell jacket. It is designed to keep you dry and can be layered with warm clothing underneath for colder weather.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Refer to The North Face's official sizing chart and measure your child's chest and height. This specific model is listed as size 5 UK children's.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

How do I reapply the water repellent finish?
After washing and drying, you can use a spray-on or wipe-on fabric treatment designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the product's specific instructions.
What is the warranty for this jacket?
The North Face typically offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to The North Face's official warranty policy for detailed information.
Is the black color fade-resistant?
The black color is designed to be durable, but like all garments, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over time. Proper care can help maintain the color.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If it persists, try a small amount of graphite pencil lead on the zipper teeth.
Water is seeping through seams
This may indicate wear on the seam tape. For minor issues, consider a fabric seam sealer. For significant wear, professional repair might be needed.
Jacket feels damp inside after wearing
Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated during wear and that the child is not overheating. Proper care and reapplication of water repellent may also help if the outer fabric is absorbing moisture.
