FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of fleece, which is designed for warmth and comfort, not waterproofing. It will offer some protection against light drizzle, but for heavy rain or snow, an additional waterproof outer shell is recommended.
How do I reverse the jacket?
Simply turn the jacket inside out. Both sides are designed to be worn facing outwards. Unzip all pockets, and ensure the sleeves are pulled through correctly.
What age is the 5-6 Years size suitable for?
This size is designed for children typically between 5 and 6 years old. For best fit, always refer to The North Face's specific size chart, if available, which usually includes height and weight measurements.
Can this jacket be worn in winter?
For mild winter days or as a layering piece under a heavier coat, yes. For harsh winter conditions with heavy snow or very low temperatures, it should be used as a mid-layer with a waterproof and insulated outer jacket.
How should I clean the zippered pockets?
Ensure all pockets are empty before washing. You can clean the zipper teeth with a small brush if dirt accumulates, but generally, machine washing as per care instructions will keep them clean.
What's the benefit of the 'zip garage'?
The zip garage is a small fabric cover at the top of the zipper. It prevents the zipper pull from irritating your child's chin or neck, enhancing comfort, especially when the jacket is fully zipped up.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently rubbing a pencil lead or a bar of soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. If the issue persists, inspect for damage.
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
This fleece jacket is ideal for cool conditions. For very cold temperatures, layer it over thermal base layers or under a heavier, insulated outer jacket. Ensure the hood and cuffs are snug to prevent heat loss.
Pilling or fuzz appears on the fleece side.
Pilling is common with fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller to carefully remove pills. Wash the jacket inside out to minimize friction during washing.
Logos are peeling or fading.
This can happen over extended use or incorrect washing. Always follow care instructions, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding harsh chemicals. If logos are heat transfer, avoid direct heat (e.g., ironing).
