Product Information
Full details
This juniors' Mountain Athletics Woven Jacket from The North Face is designed for active kids who need a lightweight, breathable layer for both everyday wear and outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is the moisture-wicking FlashDry fabric that ensures quick drying and comfort in various weather conditions. A potential caveat is that it's a woven jacket, so it may offer less insulation than a fleece or insulated option for very cold weather. Key features include a hood, zippered pockets, elastic binding, and durable construction suitable for growing explorers.

FAQs
What age group is this jacket intended for?
This jacket is designed for juniors, suitable for kids.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is water-resistant due to its woven material and durable water repellent (DWR) finish, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to be breathable and quick-drying.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not use fabric softener or iron.
What does FlashDry fabric do?
FlashDry fabric is engineered to wick moisture away from the skin and accelerate drying time, helping to keep the wearer cool and comfortable during physical activity.
Can this jacket be worn in winter?
This jacket is best suited as a mid-layer or for milder weather. For colder winter conditions, it would need to be layered with insulating pieces and a waterproof outer shell.
What sizes are available?
This specific guide is for the XXL size. Other sizes are available for juniors.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels damp after activity.
While FlashDry fabric is moisture-wicking, intense activity can sometimes overwhelm it, or it may be unable to evaporate moisture in very humid conditions. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Allow the jacket to air dry completely after use.
Elastic binding is stretched out.
Avoid excessive heat when drying, as this can degrade elastic. If the binding has lost elasticity, it is not typically repairable without professional alteration.
