The North Face Hike Packable Shell Jacket is designed for active kids needing reliable weather protection. Its key benefit is its packability and waterproof, breathable DryVent shell, making it easy to carry and effective against the elements. A potential caveat is that while machine washable, specific care instructions should be followed to maintain its performance.

This is a shell jacket, meaning it provides protection from wind and rain but offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is best layered over warmer mid-layers like fleece or down.
If water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, but instead soaks in, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment. You can test this by sprinkling water on the fabric.
It is recommended to wash the jacket separately or with similar synthetic items to avoid abrasion and preserve its features. Avoid washing with items that produce lint.
The '2.5L' refers to the jacket's laminate construction. It signifies a 2-layer waterproof, breathable system with an additional thin, protective print or fog layer on the inside, making it lighter and more packable than a 3-layer system.
FlashDry technology is embedded within the fabric fibers. It accelerates drying time and increases breathability by actively moving moisture away from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric where it can evaporate.
This jacket is available in various kids' sizes. Please refer to the product sizing chart for specific measurements and age recommendations.
Ensure the DWR coating is intact. If worn, reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Clean the jacket thoroughly before re-treatment.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
This can indicate high humidity or that the breathable membrane is overwhelmed. Ensure the jacket is properly vented (if applicable) and that base layers are moisture-wicking. A thorough cleaning may also restore breathability.
Check if the seam tape is intact. If damage is visible, professional repair or replacement may be needed. Ensure all seams were properly sealed during manufacturing.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.
Compatibility: The helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit over most youth helmets. The jacket's sizing is intended to allow for layering underneath, so consider this when choosing a size.
