Find Your Size
European sizes are based on your child’s height in centimeters. Because kids of the same age can be different sizes, height is the best guide for fit.
Enter your child’s height in inches, and we’ll show the closest CM size range. This correlates to the first number in the size option. ie: 98 or 122. If CM sizing is not provided, simply choose the age provided.
💡 Tip: These are general guidelines. Always check specific brand size charts when possible, as sizing can vary between manufacturers.
Product Description
The North Face Boys’ & Girls’ North Down Fleece-Lined Short Parka is built for cold-weather days when kids need serious warmth without giving up comfort or movement. With 600-fill recycled down in the body, cozy fleece lining, and targeted Heatseeker™ Eco insulation, it’s made for school mornings, outdoor programs, winter walks, snow days, and everyday adventures through the colder months.
The upper body is lined with soft micro-fleece, while the attached three-piece hood is lined with cozy high-pile fleece for extra comfort around the head and neck. Heatseeker™ Eco synthetic insulation adds targeted warmth in the hood, collar, pocket bags, and pocket flaps, while a non-PFC DWR finish adds water repellency for light snow or rain.
Why Parents Love It
- 600-fill down warmth: The body is insulated with 600-fill, 100% recycled waterfowl down for dependable cold-weather insulation.
- Cozy fleece lining: The upper body is lined with micro-fleece, while the hood features soft high-pile fleece for added comfort.
- Targeted synthetic insulation: Heatseeker™ Eco insulation adds warmth in the hood, collar, pocket bags, and pocket flaps.
- Water-repellent finish: A non-PFC DWR finish helps provide added water repellency in light snow or rain.
- Warm hands, useful storage: Insulated dual-entry hand pockets offer both top-flap access and secure-zip side entry.
- Comfort at the cuffs: Brushed-tricot panels inside the cuffs add a softer feel against the wrists.
- Made for movement: Raglan sleeves and a standard fit support comfortable everyday wear.
Built for Real Outdoor Use
This is the kind of winter coat made for the days when the cold settles in and kids still have places to go. The North Down Parka works for frosty school mornings, outdoor recess, winter hikes, snowy playgrounds, holiday travel, and long afternoons outside when a lighter jacket just isn’t enough.
Large insulated hand pockets give kids room for gloves, snacks, or little essentials, while the fleece-lined hood and upper body add comfort where it matters most. The combination of down and synthetic insulation helps create a versatile cold-weather jacket for real winter routines and everyday outdoor adventures.
