Product Information
Full details
The North Face Perlino Softshell Jacket is designed for active kids who need a versatile, wind-resistant outer layer for everyday outdoor exploration, ranging from school commutes to weekend trail adventures. Its primary benefit is the WINDWALL technology, which effectively blocks chilling winds while maintaining comfort, though it is intended for light drizzle rather than heavy, sustained rain.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it features a non-PFC DWR finish which provides light water repellency for drizzle, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Can this be worn as a mid-layer?
Yes, its regular fit makes it suitable as a mid-layer under a heavier winter coat during colder months.
Does it have a hood?
No, this specific model features a stand collar rather than a hood.
How should I choose the right size?
The jacket features a regular fit; choose the size based on your child's standard apparel size.
What is the primary material?
The jacket is made from durable, high-quality polyester designed for active use.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off; apply a DWR restoring spray to the exterior.
Zipper feels stiff or catches.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris, then apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for a regular fit, which accommodates standard sizing for kids. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR finish and the integrity of the WINDWALL fabric, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors using mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat as it can damage the specialized fabric treatments.
- Re-treating: Over time, the DWR coating may wear off. Use a dedicated outdoor fabric re-proofer to restore water repellency.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area to ensure any residual moisture evaporates after use.
