DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology designed to be waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It uses a PU (polyurethane) coating or fabric construction to prevent water molecules from entering while allowing water vapor from the inside to escape.
This jacket is a waterproof shell designed for protection against rain and wind. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it over insulated clothing such as fleece or down jackets.
Machine wash the jacket cold with a liquid detergent on a gentle cycle. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Reapply the DWR treatment when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and starts to soak in. This typically depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions, but often ranges from a few washes to once a year.
The jacket features a regular fit. It is designed to accommodate layering underneath without being overly baggy. It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart or try it on if possible to ensure the best fit.
The jacket features zipped pockets, which offer protection from light rain and splashes. However, they are not designed to be fully submersible. For critical items, consider using a waterproof dry bag inside the pockets.
This refers to the water-repellent treatment applied to the jacket's fabric. 'Non-PFC' means it is free from perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally harmful. The treatment helps water bead off the surface.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure all zippers and closures are fully sealed.
Ensure the elastic binding on the hood is properly adjusted. Check for any damage to the elastic cord or toggles.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
This can occur in high humidity or during intense activity. Ensure all vents are open and consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers. The DryVent™ technology is breathable, but extreme conditions can still lead to some moisture buildup.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed as outerwear, it is compatible with a wide range of base layers and mid-layers for adjustable warmth. Its regular fit allows for layering without feeling restrictive.
