Product Information

Full details

The North Face Valley View Waterproof Jacket is an essential outer layer designed for adult male hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require dependable weather protection. Featuring advanced three-layer DryVent technology, this jacket excels at keeping you dry during heavy rain and high-wind scenarios while providing necessary breathability; however, users should note that as a high-performance shell, it does not provide heavy thermal insulation on its own and is best utilized as part of a layering system.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, it is a three-layer shell designed for weather protection, not thermal warmth.

Can I wear this in extreme cold?

Yes, but it must be worn over appropriate insulating layers, such as a down or synthetic puffer jacket.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features an integrated adjustment system, typically found at the back or sides, to tighten the fit around your head.

Is the fabric machine washable?

Yes, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with technical detergent. Avoid bleach and softeners.

What is the purpose of the underarm vents?

They provide manual ventilation to release heat and moisture during strenuous movement, helping you regulate body temperature.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are designed as secure-zip enclosures to protect contents, though they are not explicitly rated as submersible.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the garment and apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.

Internal condensation build-up

Ensure the underarm vents are open during high-output activity and verify that you are not wearing too many non-breathable layers underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully waterproof and windproof performance
  • Highly breathable material prevents overheating
  • Underarm vents provide excellent airflow control
  • Multiple secure-zip pockets for gear storage
  • Adjustable hood and cuffs offer a customized seal against elements

Cons

  • No built-in thermal insulation
  • Shell-only design requires layering in cold weather
  • Polyester fabric may require specialized cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these guidelines:

  1. Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer and a fleece or insulated mid-layer beneath for cold-weather protection.
  2. Adjustments: Use the hem cinch-cord and cuff tabs to adjust the jacket's seal based on wind intensity.
  3. Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a technical gear cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane.
  4. Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on a low, gentle heat setting to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  5. Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a hanger rather than compressed in a pack for long periods to preserve the fabric structure.
