The North Face

McMurdo Hooded Jacket - Kids'

DryVent 2L is a proprietary technology from The North Face that features a two-layer laminate fabric. It is designed to be both waterproof and breathable, which means it keeps rain and snow out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape. This is essential for staying comfortable during outdoor activities, ensuring you stay dry and warm without overheating.

A jacket with 600-fill goose down insulation offers a great balance of warmth and weight. The "600-fill" rating indicates that the down is fluffy and effective at trapping heat, making it suitable for cold weather. This means you can stay warm without feeling weighed down, perfect for winter adventures.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, which is a treatment applied to the jacket's fabric. This treatment helps the fabric resist water, causing it to bead up and roll off rather than soaking in. While it’s not completely waterproof, it provides extra protection in light rain or snow, keeping you drier for longer during your outdoor activities.

A 3-piece hood is designed with three separate sections of fabric, allowing for a better fit and more coverage. This design helps to keep your head warm and protected from harsh weather conditions, such as wind and snow. It ensures that the hood moves with you, providing comfort and functionality while you’re on the go.

When a jacket is labeled as insulated, it means it is designed with materials that trap heat to keep you warm. Insulation can come from natural materials like down feathers or synthetic options. This feature is crucial for winter clothing, as it helps maintain your body temperature in cold weather, making it ideal for outdoor activities in winter conditions.

Absolutely! Jackets featuring DryVent 2L, 600-fill goose down, DWR treatment, and insulation are versatile enough for both casual wear and outdoor activities. They provide comfort, warmth, and protection from the elements, making them suitable for everything from a day in the city to a weekend hike in the mountains.
