Product Information
Full details
The North Face Hydrenalite Down Hooded Jacket is designed for active kids who need reliable warmth and weather protection during cold-weather outdoor activities. Featuring recycled waterfowl down insulation and a durable water-repellent finish, this jacket provides an excellent balance of heat retention and mobility. While it excels in light moisture, it is important to note that it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall or extreme alpine storms, as it is a water-repellent rather than a waterproof garment.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain or snow, but it is not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy downpours.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent specifically made for down apparel.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is permanently attached for better weather sealing.
What is the age range for size 9-10?
The 9-10 sizing is intended for children roughly 9 to 10 years of age, though you should check the brand's official size chart against the child's height for the best fit.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the jacket uses recycled waterfowl down and features an environmentally friendly Non-PFC DWR coating.
Troubleshooting
The jacket looks flat after washing.
This is normal. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to break up clumps and restore loft.
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading up.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR revitalizing treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, store it in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use; avoid leaving it compressed for long periods. When washing, use a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with a specialized down cleaner. Always tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down clusters and restore the loft. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the DWR coating and damage the integrity of the down plumes.
