FAQs
Is The North Face Reign On Parka suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The Reign On Parka is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell designed for protection against rain and wind. It does not contain heavy insulation, so for very cold winter conditions, you would need to layer effectively underneath it.
What is DryVent 2L technology?
DryVent 2L is The North Face's proprietary waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology. The '2L' indicates a two-layer construction, where a waterproof membrane is bonded to the outer fabric, and a separate lining protects the membrane on the inside, ensuring durability and comfort.
Can I remove the hood?
No, the hood on the Reign On Parka is fixed and cannot be removed. It features a drawcord for adjustability to provide a secure fit.
How should I store my parka when not in use?
Store your parka in a clean, dry place, ideally hanging it to maintain its shape. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can affect the fabric and DWR coating over time.
Does this parka have internal pockets?
Based on the product description, the parka features flapped hand pockets. No internal pockets are explicitly mentioned.
What material is the parka made from?
The parka's shell is made from Polyester, featuring The North Face's DryVent 2L technology for waterproof and breathable performance.
Troubleshooting
My parka doesn't seem as waterproof as it used to be.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might need re-activating or re-application. Try washing and tumble drying the parka on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, consider applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
The zipper is difficult to move or gets stuck.
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap and water to remove dirt or debris. A silicone-based zipper lubricant can also help improve smoothness.
The parka feels stiff or noisy during movement.
New waterproof shell jackets can sometimes feel a bit stiff. With regular wear and proper washing (avoiding fabric softeners), the fabric will typically soften slightly over time. Ensure you're wearing appropriate layers underneath to prevent rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Reign On Parka is as simple as putting it on. Adjust the hood's drawcord for a snug fit that doesn't obstruct your vision. Ensure the VISLON front zip is fully engaged and the snap closure with its storm flap is secured for maximum weather protection.
Compatibility
This parka is designed to be a versatile outer layer. It can be comfortably worn over various base and mid-layers, depending on the temperature and your insulation needs. Its clean design makes it compatible with both casual and more active wear. It's suitable for women looking for durable, waterproof protection in adult sizing.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Reign On Parka, especially its waterproof properties. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. Generally, for Polyester DryVent garments:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. You may need to tumble dry for an extended period to fully reactivate the DWR treatment. Alternatively, air dry and then tumble dry for 20 minutes on low heat to reactivate DWR.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the fabric and waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
