Kids TNF Performance Fleece Hoodie – The North Face_#color_black

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a matching pant for The North Face Kids’ TNF™ Performance Fleece Hooded Jacket?
Yes! Pair it with The North Face Kids’ TNF™ Performance Fleece Jogger for a coordinating head-to-toe fleece set. The joggers use the same stretchy 225 g/m² performance fleece and have an adjustable drawcord waistband and secure-zip hand pockets. Wear the pieces together for cool school days and outdoor adventures, or mix and match them with the rest of your child’s wardrobe.
How warm is The North Face Kids’ TNF™ Performance Fleece Hooded Jacket?
This is a versatile midweight fleece rather than a heavily insulated jacket. The 225 g/m² performance fleece adds comfortable warmth for cool weather while remaining easy to layer. We like it for chilly school mornings, fall adventures, cool spring days and as a midlayer when temperatures drop.
Is this a good fleece for active kids?
Yes. This is one of the reasons we like it. The main fleece fabric contains 4% elastane for stretch, giving kids more freedom to run, climb, bike and explore. It provides warmth without the bulk of a heavier insulated layer.
Can my child wear this fleece as a jacket?
Absolutely, when the weather is cool and dry. It works well as a standalone outer layer during transitional weather and then moves underneath a rain jacket, shell or winter coat as temperatures drop. That versatility makes it a useful piece across multiple seasons.
Is this a good midlayer under a rain jacket or winter coat?
Yes. This is where a performance fleece can be particularly useful in a child's outdoor wardrobe. Layer it over a moisture-managing base layer and underneath weather-protective outerwear when more warmth is needed. The stretchy construction also makes it easier for kids to move when they're wearing multiple layers.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped! As we open up a new program, preparing our first group of kiddos for any weather was at the top of our priority list, and ODSS came through with insight, expertise, and the coolest, most dependable gear around! Thank you ODSS!
