Full details
The North Face Perlino Softshell Jacket is designed for active kids who need reliable wind protection during everyday outdoor exploration. This versatile jacket features WindWall technology to block chilling breezes while remaining breathable, making it a perfect outer layer for mild days or a cozy mid-layer in colder temperatures. While it offers essential wind resistance and light water repellency, it is important to note that this jacket is not fully waterproof and is best suited for light drizzle rather than heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Perlino is water-repellent, meaning it handles light drizzle well, but it is not waterproof and will eventually soak through in heavy rain.
Does this jacket have a hood?
No, this specific model features a stand collar for neck warmth but does not include a hood.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, it is recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting to help maintain the fabric's water-repellent properties.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
Is this suitable for winter sports?
It serves well as a mid-layer for winter sports, but it should be worn under a waterproof shell for full protection in snowy or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is likely worn out; wash with a technical cleaner and reapply a DWR treatment spray.
The front zipper is catching or difficult to pull.
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the zipper track. If it continues to stick, gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush to remove dirt or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for ease of use right out of the box. The regular fit is accommodating for layering standard t-shirts or light hoodies underneath. To maintain the jacket's performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry to help preserve the technical properties of the fabric.
- Re-treating: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, consider using a specialized DWR reactivation spray or wash-in treatment to restore the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
