FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent due to the non-PFC DWR finish, which is great for light rain and mist, but it is not waterproof and will soak through in heavy or prolonged rain.
Does this jacket have a hood?
No, the Perlino Softshell Jacket features a stand collar design rather than a hood.
What is WINDWALL technology?
WINDWALL is a specialized fabric technology from The North Face designed to dramatically reduce the effects of wind chill while maintaining a balance of breathability.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Yes, it works well as a mid-layer under a heavier winter coat, or as an outer layer on warmer, dry winter days.
What does the zipper garage do?
The zipper garage is a small pocket of fabric at the top of the zipper that covers the slider, preventing it from pinching or scratching the child's chin when fully zipped.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a commercial DWR spray treatment.
The front zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.
Check for debris, loose threads, or fabric caught in the track. If clean, ensure the zipper path is straight and not being pulled at an awkward angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric pores and degrade the wind-resistant properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. The heat from the dryer can actually help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, cool closet. Avoid cramming it into small spaces for long periods to preserve the shape of the stand collar.
- Compatibility: This jacket is compatible with most mid-weight base layers and can be worn under most standard-fit snow shells or parkas.
