Product Information
Full details
The North Face Valley View Jacket is designed for adult women who need a versatile, lightweight outer layer for changeable outdoor conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of the waterproof DRYVENT 3L membrane and breathability, allowing for comfortable wear during hikes or daily commutes without the bulk of traditional rain shells. While it offers excellent weather protection and easy layering, users should note that as a technical shell, it relies on your own insulating layers for warmth in freezing temperatures.

Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

Feeling damp inside during heavy exertion
Ensure the underarm vents are open to allow for better airflow and manage your internal layering to prevent overheating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always zip all pockets and the main front zipper before placing it in the wash. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane. For the best performance, tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent finish, or consult the care label for specific instructions. The jacket is designed to be fully compatible with standard outdoor layering systems, such as fleeces or synthetic mid-layers.
