Product Information

Full details

The North Face Quest Hooded Waterproof Jacket is a versatile, high-performance outer layer designed for adult men who require reliable protection during outdoor exploration in wet and windy conditions. Utilizing advanced DryVent technology, this jacket offers an excellent balance of waterproofing and breathability, keeping you dry without overheating. While it excels in rain and wind, it is primarily a lightweight shell, meaning it does not provide heavy insulation and will require layering in cold climates.

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The Quest jacket is a shell with no insulation. It is designed to block wind and rain but requires additional layers underneath for cold-weather warmth.

Can I put this jacket in the dryer?

Yes, tumble dry on low heat. The heat can actually help reactivate the DWR water-repellent finish on the outer fabric.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the Quest Jacket features a fixed, non-detachable hood.

What is the water column rating?

The jacket has a water column rating of 20,000 mm, which is considered highly waterproof and capable of handling intense rain.

Does it have pit zips for ventilation?

No, this model relies on the inherent breathability of the DryVent fabric and the interior mesh lining for ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish has worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment.

Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof shell.

This is often caused by condensation from internal sweat. Ensure you are layering appropriately for the activity intensity level to maximize the breathability of the DryVent material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and windproof performance
  • Lightweight and highly packable for hiking
  • Breathable mesh interior prevents overheating

  • Provides no thermal insulation for deep winter

  • Limited to two hand pockets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the DryVent fabric, follow these guidelines:

  1. Adjustment: Before heading out, tighten the shock-cord at the hem and adjust the hood toggle to fit your head shape, ensuring a seal against wind.
  2. Cleaning: Machine wash in warm water with a technical outerwear cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the DWR finish.
  3. Re-Waterproofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the jacket, use a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
  4. Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a compressed space to prevent mildew buildup.
