Product Information

Full details

The North Face Hike Packable Shell Jacket is designed for young adventurers who need versatile protection against wind and rain during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is a lightweight, packable design that easily stores away, making it ideal for unpredictable weather on trails or during travel. A potential consideration is that while it offers water resistance, it is not a fully waterproof jacket for prolonged heavy downpours. Key features include its packable nature, wind and rain protection, and a helmet-compatible hood.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features DryVent technology, which provides water resistance and protection against wind. It is suitable for rain showers but is not rated as fully waterproof for prolonged heavy downpours.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to fold into its own hand pocket. Simply turn the pocket inside out, stuff the jacket into it, and zip it closed for a compact, portable package.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is primarily made from 100% Polyester woven material.

Can a helmet be worn with this jacket?

Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet-compatible, offering additional coverage and fitting over most youth-sized helmets.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron.

What does FlashDry technology do?

FlashDry technology helps to wick moisture (sweat) away from the skin, allowing it to evaporate quickly and helping the wearer stay dry and comfortable during physical activity.

What sizes are available?

This specific product listing is for a size S (Small), suitable for children aged 7-8 years. Other sizes and colors may be available under different listings.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then apply a new DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels clammy inside after activity.

This can occur in high-exertion activities. Ensure the jacket's vents (if any) are open and that the inner lining is not obstructed. The FlashDry technology helps, but extreme activity can exceed its wicking capacity.
