Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features a shiny water-resistant ripstop fabric, meaning it repels light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and may eventually soak through in heavy or prolonged downpours.

What type of insulation does this jacket use?

This jacket is insulated with plush goose down filling, known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and ability to trap heat effectively.

What age group is the junior sizing for?

This specific model is sized for juniors, with a UK size range of 1-2. Please refer to The North Face's official sizing chart for detailed measurements corresponding to age groups.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable. However, it requires specific care for down insulation. Use a gentle cycle, cold water, and a down-specific cleaner. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes, the jacket features zip pockets for secure storage of small items.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The main body of the jacket is made from 100% Recycled Nylon, and the lining is 100% Recycled Polyester.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't feel as warm as expected.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing, as damp down loses insulation. Consider layering appropriately underneath for extremely cold conditions. Check if the elasticated trims are properly sealing in warmth.

Water isn't beading off the fabric.

The jacket features water-resistant fabric, not fully waterproof. Over time, water resistance can diminish. Clean the jacket as per care instructions, as dirt can impair water repellency. If issues persist, consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing.

Down appears clumpy or flat after washing.

This is common for down jackets. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with 3-5 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up the clumps of down and restore its loft and warmth. This process may take several hours.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to use.

Inspect the zipper for any fabric caught in the teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

Age Group: Designed specifically for juniors, suitable for children in the 1-2 UK size range (this specific model).

Activity: Suitable for everyday wear, school, outdoor play, and light outdoor activities.

Care Instructions

To maintain the jacket's loft, warmth, and water resistance, proper care is crucial. Always check the garment's care label for the most accurate instructions. Generally, for down jackets:

Preparation: Zip up all zippers and fasten any closures. Turn the jacket inside out.
Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a down-specific cleaner. Avoid using conventional detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the down and fabric.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to ensure all soap residue is removed. An extra rinse cycle is often beneficial.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up down clumps and restore loft. Drying can take several hours, and the jacket should be completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and preserve down quality.
Storage: Store the jacket uncompressed in a dry, well-ventilated area.
