FAQs
What is DryVent™ technology?
DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary waterproof, breathable technology. It uses a PU coating or membrane to allow water vapor to escape from the inside while preventing liquid water from entering from the outside.
How warm is the Heatseeker™ insulation?
Heatseeker™ is a synthetic insulation known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, providing significant warmth even when damp. The 200g fill in this jacket is designed for cold conditions.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the combination of DryVent™ shell, Heatseeker™ insulation, and windproof design makes it suitable for cold winter conditions, especially when layered appropriately.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a cold setting with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat.
What does 'Non-PFC Durable Water-Repellent (Non-PFC DWR)' mean?
This refers to the water-repellent treatment applied to the fabric's exterior. 'Non-PFC' indicates that the treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to The North Face's sizing chart for children's apparel. The jacket is designed for active use, so ensure there is room for layering underneath without being overly loose.
Does the hood detach?
The jacket features a three-piece hood which is integrated into the jacket's design and is not detachable.
Troubleshooting
Water not beading off the fabric surface.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider washing the jacket according to care instructions and then applying a DWR treatment. Ensure no fabric softener or detergent residue remains.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no external moisture.
This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or residue that might clog the pores of the DryVent™ membrane. Wash and dry as per instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. If still stiff, apply a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
