Full details
The North Face Dryvent Hikesteller Parka in Khaki Stone (size XS) is designed for adult females seeking a very comfortable, practical, and durable outerwear solution. Its key benefit lies in its waterproof and insulated features, providing reliable protection against the elements.

What type of insulation does this parka use?

Can I wear this parka in very cold, sub-zero temperatures?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. If resistance continues, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Water is penetrating the fabric
Check for any damage to the DryVent membrane or seam tape. Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is still active. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary and follow garment care instructions.
Parka feels less warm than expected
Confirm the insulation is evenly distributed and not compressed. Check that all zippers and closures are fully sealed. Consider layering underneath for additional warmth.
