The North Face Quest DryVent™ Mono Cropped Jacket - Black - L

DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that provides waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. It is engineered to keep outerwear dry from the outside in.

The Quest DryVent™ jacket is designed primarily for rain and wind protection. It is lightweight and best suited for mild to cool temperatures or as an outer layer over warmer garments in colder conditions.

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and do not iron or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry.

'Mono' refers to a single color design. 'Cropped' indicates a shorter length that typically ends around the waist or slightly above, offering a modern silhouette and freedom of movement.

While the jacket is lightweight, it can be layered. However, for optimal comfort and movement, it's best suited for layering over lighter to mid-weight sweaters or fleeces, rather than very bulky ones, due to its cropped design.

The frequency depends on usage and care. Generally, reapply DWR when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and begins to soak in, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the DWR coating is still effective. Reapply DWR treatment if necessary. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and mild soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant.

This can occur in high-exertion activities. Ensure any ventilation openings (if present) are utilized. The DryVent™ fabric is breathable, but extreme conditions may still lead to some internal moisture buildup.
