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 lies in the WINDWALL fabric technology, which effectively blocks chilling breezes while maintaining breathability for active play. While it offers excellent wind protection and a water-repellent finish, it is intended for light drizzle rather than heavy downpours, making it best suited as a flexible mid-to-outer layer in mild to moderate weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent due to its non-PFC DWR finish, which makes it ideal for light drizzle, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used as a primary raincoat in heavy storms.
Does the jacket have a hood?
No, this specific model features a stand collar for neck protection but does not include a hood.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners to protect the DWR finish and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It serves well as a mid-layer underneath a heavier insulated parka in freezing conditions, but it is primarily designed as an outer layer for mild or transitional weather.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
The secure-zip hand pockets are designed to fit small items like keys, snacks, or small gadgets securely.
Does the jacket come in different sizes?
Yes, it is available in a variety of children's sizes from XS to XL.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check the zipper track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth and gently clean with a soft brush.
Water is no longer beading off the jacket
The DWR coating may have worn off; consider using a technical DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Jacket feels less effective against wind
Ensure the jacket is fitted correctly and that the front zipper is fully closed to seal the wind-resistant layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no technical setup, featuring a standard zipper closure system. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water with a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the fabric fibers and reduce the jacket's breathability and water-repellent performance. Tumble drying on a low setting or air drying is best for the integrity of the material. Always ensure the zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
