Product Information

Full details

The North Face Hydrenalite Down Hooded Jacket is designed for active kids who need reliable warmth and mobility during chilly outdoor adventures. By utilizing high-quality recycled waterfowl down insulation and a lightweight nylon shell, this jacket offers superior thermal protection without the bulk. While it provides excellent insulation for cold, dry days, it is important to note that the Non-PFC DWR coating is intended for light water repellency rather than heavy rain protection.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, but use a gentle cycle, cool water, and a down-specific detergent. Always tumble dry with dryer balls.

What is the benefit of the raglan sleeves?

Raglan sleeves have a seam that runs from the underarm to the neckline, providing better shoulder mobility compared to traditional set-in sleeves.

Is the down sustainably sourced?

Yes, the jacket utilizes recycled waterfowl down, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, it features an attached, insulated hood for extra protection against the wind and cold.

Are the pockets secure?

The hand pockets are zippered to ensure that items like gloves or snacks stay secure during movement.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers are poking through the fabric

This is normal with down products. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside and rub the fabric to reseal the opening.

The jacket lost its 'puffy' look after washing

The down is likely clumped from moisture. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to break up clumps and redistribute the fill.

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading

The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket maintains its loft and water-repellent properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a specialized down cleanser. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the down's insulating properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent odors.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid compressing it in a tight space for long periods, as this can degrade the down filling over time.
  4. Water Repellency: If water stops beading on the surface of the fabric, consider reapplying a synthetic DWR treatment spray to refresh the water-repellent finish.
