Product Information

Full details

The North Face Quest DryVent Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women who need a dependable, lightweight outer layer for hiking, travel, and daily commutes in unpredictable weather. It excels at providing robust wind and rain protection through its seam-sealed construction and DWR finish; however, it functions strictly as a shell, meaning it does not offer insulation and will require a base or mid-layer in colder temperatures.

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

No, this is a non-insulated shell. It is designed to block wind and rain but will require warm mid-layers underneath for winter use.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach.

Can I remove the hood?

No, the Quest DryVent jacket features a fixed hood.

Is the fabric noisy when moving?

While all waterproof shells make some sound, the soft-knit interior and mesh lining help minimize the typical 'swish' noise of technical fabrics.

Does it have pit zips?

No, this model relies on the inherent breathability of the DryVent fabric and the mesh lining to manage airflow.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric surface.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment spray, then tumble dry on low heat.

Feeling damp inside the jacket.

Check your layering system. If you are wearing non-breathable fabrics underneath, sweat may be accumulating. Switch to moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind and water protection for wet weather
  • Lightweight and highly packable for travel or hiking
  • Breathable design prevents overheating during active use
  • Soft-brushed chin guard enhances comfort

Cons

  • Provides no thermal insulation
  • Requires proper maintenance to keep DWR finish effective
  • Limited to shell-layer functionality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Quest DryVent jacket, proper maintenance is essential. Always wash the jacket in cool water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear, as standard detergents can strip the DWR finish. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry; the heat from a dryer can sometimes help 'reactivate' the water-repellent coating. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, consider applying a spray-on DWR replenishment product. When choosing layers to wear underneath, the jacket's cut allows for standard mid-layers without feeling restrictive at the shoulders.
