The North Face Reversible Perrito Puffer Jacket - Black

The jacket features a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it will effectively shed light rain and snow, keeping your child dry in mild conditions. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe wet weather.

Machine wash the jacket cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh cleaners. Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation.

The jacket has two distinct outer sides, each with a different color or pattern. You can wear it with either side facing outwards, essentially giving your child two different jacket looks in one garment.

This jacket uses recycled synthetic insulation. This type of insulation is excellent for providing warmth, and importantly, it retains its insulating properties even when it gets damp.

The jacket provides good warmth for cold weather. For very cold winter temperatures or extreme conditions, it's recommended to layer it with appropriate base layers and mid-layers for optimal comfort.

The North Face Reversible Perrito Puffer Jacket is available in sizes suitable for both infants and kids, designed to keep younger children warm and comfortable.

The synthetic insulation might have compressed. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to fluff up and redistribute the insulation, restoring its loft and warmth.

The DWR finish may need reactivation or replenishment. First, ensure the jacket is clean by washing it according to the care instructions. If water still doesn't bead, consider using a DWR restorative spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Check if any fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to clear it. If it's still stiff, rub a small amount of a zipper lubricant (like a wax crayon or pencil graphite) along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. If an odor persists, a second wash using a specialized outdoor gear cleaner designed to eliminate odors might be beneficial, followed by thorough drying with dryer balls.
