Product Information

Full details

The North Face Valley View Jacket is an ideal choice for female outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection against unpredictable weather conditions. Designed for trekking and hiking, this jacket features 3-layer DryVent technology to keep you dry and comfortable in wind or rain while maintaining breathability. While it provides excellent environmental sealing and versatile storage, users should note that as a dedicated waterproof shell, it is designed for layering rather than providing inherent warmth on its own.

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The Valley View is a shell jacket designed for wind and rain protection. It is not insulated, so you will need to wear a thermal fleece or down mid-layer underneath for winter conditions.

Can I adjust the hood?

Yes, the hood is adjustable to ensure a snug fit that stays in place during windy conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in cool water using a technical gear cleaner. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners and follow the care label for drying instructions.

What does 3-layer DryVent mean?

It refers to a durable fabric technology that incorporates a waterproof, breathable membrane bonded to both the outer fabric and an inner lining for maximum protection and longevity.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets use secure-zip closures to keep your gear safe, but they are not fully submersible; always keep sensitive electronics in a dry bag if you expect extreme submersion.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate it, or apply a fresh DWR spray.

Feeling damp inside the jacket during high exertion.

Open the underarm pit zips to increase airflow. Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable cotton layers underneath, which trap perspiration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and windproof protection
  • Highly breathable with integrated pit vents
  • Multiple secure zippered pockets for organization
  • Adjustable fit at hood, cuffs, and hem
  • Lightweight and packable for trail use

Cons

  • Provides no thermal insulation on its own
  • Requires layering for colder climates
  • Material may feel stiff compared to softshell alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure all zippers are fully closed during storage to keep the hardware in good condition. For care, wash the jacket in cool water with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear to ensure the pores of the DryVent fabric do not clog with oils or dirt. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (durable water repellent) coating. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, consider tumble drying on low heat or using a specialized DWR re-waterproofing spray to restore the outer treatment.
