The North Face Teen Freedom Triclimate Jacket — Youth Ski

FAQ

Q1: How does The North Face sizing run — true to size, or should I size up/down (and does it accommodate a base/mid-layer)?
The Freedom Triclimate has a relaxed fit, which leaves room for a base layer under the zipped-together system. The North Face has updated its youth sizing, so check the brand's current size guide rather than relying on an older jacket's size. The easiest option is to bring your teen into either location and our staff will help you find the right size.

Q2: Is this jacket warm and waterproof enough for ski days at Big White and SilverStar?
Yes. Worn together, the seam-sealed DryVent™ 2L shell and Heatseeker™ Eco insulated liner offer solid weather protection and warmth for typical resort days, and the powder skirt and helmet-compatible hood help keep snow out. On the coldest Okanagan mornings, add a warm base layer underneath.

Q3: How do I care for the DryVent™ shell to maintain waterproofing and breathability?
Always follow the care label first. As a general guide for waterproof-breathable shells, separate the inner and outer jackets before washing, use cold water and a technical cleaner made for outerwear, and skip fabric softener and bleach, which can reduce breathability. When water stops beading on the shell, a DWR re-treatment product can help restore water repellency.
