Product Information

Full details

The North Face Valley View Jacket is designed for active hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, multi-purpose shell that balances weather protection with active breathability. Featuring advanced three-layer DryVent technology, it keeps the wearer dry during heavy rain while offering mechanical venting for temperature regulation during intense treks. While it excels in utility and weather resistance, users should note that as a technical shell, it functions best as part of a layering system rather than as a standalone insulated piece.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. Please refer to the internal care label for specific temperature settings and avoid fabric softeners.

Can I wear this in extreme cold?

The jacket is a shell and provides no insulation. It is designed to be worn over layers, so you should pair it with down or synthetic insulation in cold weather.

What does three-layer DryVent mean?

Three-layer DryVent refers to a construction where the waterproof membrane is bonded to both an outer shell fabric and an internal lining for increased durability and performance.

Does the hood roll away?

No, the hood is attached and intended to be worn for maximum protection, but it features adjustments to secure it against high winds.

Are the zippers waterproof?

The front zipper uses YKK AquaGuard technology, which is highly water-resistant, protecting the interior from moisture ingress.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray to restore its effectiveness.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close

Gently clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove dirt or dried mud; ensure the fabric flap is not caught in the teeth.

Condensation builds up inside during a hike

Open the underarm vents earlier in your activity to regulate temperature and maintain airflow.

  • Highly breathable with efficient underarm venting
  • Durable three-layer polyester fabric construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Valley View Jacket, ensure you follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a technical outerwear wash rather than harsh detergents to protect the waterproofing membrane.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry; gentle heat can help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Compatibility: This garment is designed as an outer layer; it pairs perfectly with The North Face fleece or insulated mid-layers for year-round utility.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically check that all zippers are clear of debris to ensure smooth operation of the AquaGuard mechanisms.
