FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Snowquest Jacket is designed for cold and wet conditions, offering excellent waterproof, windproof, and insulating properties, making it ideal for snow sports and winter outdoor activities.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using powdered detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and dry cleaning.
Is the insulation synthetic or down?
The jacket features Heatseeker™ synthetic insulation, made primarily from recycled polyester.
What does DryVent™ mean?
DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof yet breathable membrane, keeping you dry from the outside in and comfortable from the inside out.
Does the hood offer adjustment?
Yes, the jacket features a three-piece hood with elastic, designed to provide a secure and protective fit.
What are the pocket features?
It includes secure-zip hand pockets for personal items and a dedicated ski pass pocket for easy access on the slopes.
What is the material of the jacket?
The body is made from 100% Recycled Polyester with a Non-PFC Durable Water-Repellent (Non-PFC DWR) finish. The lining is also 100% Recycled Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hook-and-loop cuffs are secured. Check that the seam tape is intact. For persistent issues, consider professional seam sealing or contact customer support.
Jacket feels too warm.
The Heatseeker™ insulation provides significant warmth. For milder conditions, consider layering with lighter base layers or opening the jacket during high-exertion activities. This jacket is best suited for cold weather.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. A small amount of wax or graphite can be applied to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Outer fabric is wet after washing.
This could indicate that the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish has worn off. After washing and drying, a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product can be applied to restore water repellency.
