Product Information

Full details

The North Face Valley View Jacket is an essential outer layer designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection against unpredictable weather conditions while trekking or hiking. Featuring durable 3-layer DryVent fabric, it provides high-performance wind and waterproof shielding while maintaining breathability to prevent overheating. While it excels in wet and blustery environments, users should note that as a technical shell, it is designed for layering and does not provide significant inherent insulation for sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. Use cold water and a technical detergent, and follow the care label instructions.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood on the Valley View Jacket is permanently attached to ensure maximum weather protection.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The jacket is a shell, not an insulated parka. It provides wind and rain protection, but you will need to wear insulating layers underneath for winter conditions.

Can I use fabric softener on this jacket?

No, do not use fabric softener. It leaves a residue that inhibits the breathability and waterproof performance of the fabric.

What is DryVent technology?

DryVent is a waterproof and breathable technology that utilizes a multi-layer construction to keep you dry both inside and out.

Troubleshooting

Water starts to soak into the outer fabric rather than beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR waterproofing treatment.

Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof shell

This is likely moisture buildup from perspiration. Open the underarm vents and remove excess base layers.

Zippers feel stiff or difficult to move

Clear any debris or trail grit from the zipper track and lightly apply a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind and waterproof protection in varied weather
  • Highly breathable with efficient underarm ventilation
  • Multiple secure storage options for trail essentials
  • Adjustable components for a customized, weather-sealed fit

Cons

  • Not insulated, requiring separate layers for cold weather
  • Material may feel stiffer than softshell alternatives
  • Specific fit requires careful sizing due to the non-stretch shell fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit: Ensure you can comfortably wear your chosen mid-layer underneath the jacket without restricting your range of motion.
  2. Care: Machine wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane.
  3. Re-treating: Over time, water-beading performance on the outer fabric may decrease. Use a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to maintain high performance.
  4. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing while damp to prevent mildew.
