Kids Waterproof 4-in-1 Insulated Jacket – The North Face Perrito – Reversible_#color_TNF-black

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 4 in 1 mean on The North Face Perrito Jacket?
The Perrito gives kids four ways to wear one jacket system. Wear the waterproof outer shell alone, wear the insulated inner jacket with either reversible side facing out, or combine the shell and insulated jacket for maximum warmth and weather protection. It's a particularly versatile option for families who want one system that can handle multiple seasons and changing conditions.
What are the four ways kids can wear the Perrito 4-N-1 Jacket?
Kids can wear it as: 1) the waterproof DryVent™ shell alone, 2) both jackets together, 3) the insulated inner jacket with one side facing out, or 4) reverse the insulated jacket for a second look. That flexibility lets parents adjust the system based on temperature, precipitation and activity.
Is The North Face Kids’ Perrito 4-N-1 waterproof?
The outer shell is waterproof. It uses seam-sealed DryVent™ 2L construction that's designed to be waterproof and breathable, plus a non-PFC DWR finish. The insulated inner jacket has a water-repellent finish but shouldn't be considered a replacement for the waterproof shell during sustained rain or wet snow.
How warm is the Perrito 4-N-1 Jacket?
The North Face places this jacket at its Warm benefit level rather than Warmest. The insulated inner jacket uses recycled synthetic insulation, and combining it with the outer shell creates a warmer system for cold conditions. One advantage of the 4-N-1 design is being able to remove the insulated layer when kids don't need as much warmth.
Is this a good winter coat for kids?
Yes, particularly for families looking for a winter coat that can do more than just winter. Wearing the insulated jacket and weatherproof shell together provides warmth plus protection from wind and precipitation. For extremely cold conditions, additional base and midlayers may be appropriate depending on your child's activity level and the weather.
Can my child wear the outer jacket as a raincoat?
Yes. This is one of the biggest advantages of the Perrito system. Remove the insulated inner jacket and the seam-sealed DryVent™ shell can be worn independently as a waterproof rain jacket. That extends the usefulness of the system into milder, wet weather.
