Frequently Asked Questions

Is The North Face Kids’ Reversible ThermoBall™ Hooded Jacket warm?
Yes. The jacket uses lightweight ThermoBall™ Eco synthetic insulation to provide warmth for cool-weather adventures. It can be worn as an insulated jacket on its own or incorporated into a layering system as conditions get colder.
Is the Kids’ ThermoBall™ Hooded Jacket reversible?
Yes. This jacket is fully reversible, giving kids two different ways to wear one insulated jacket. Each side has its own The North Face logo treatment.
What is ThermoBall™ Eco insulation?
ThermoBall™ Eco is a synthetic insulation designed to provide lightweight warmth and help maintain warmth even when wet. The body insulation in this jacket is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester.
Does ThermoBall™ insulation stay warm when wet?
Yes. ThermoBall™ Eco synthetic insulation is designed to help maintain warmth even when it gets wet. This makes it a practical insulation choice for changing outdoor conditions.
Is The North Face Kids’ Reversible ThermoBall™ Jacket waterproof?
No. This jacket is not listed as waterproof. It has a non-PFC durable water-repellent (DWR) finish for added water repellency, but it should be paired with appropriate waterproof outerwear when conditions call for full rain or snow protection.
What is the difference between water-repellent and waterproof?
Water-repellent fabric is designed to help shed light moisture from the surface. A waterproof jacket is specifically constructed to provide a higher level of protection from rain and wet weather. The Reversible ThermoBall™ has a DWR finish for water repellency but is not listed as a waterproof shell.
