THE NORTH FACE Dryvent Mono Jacket - Grey - S

DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that creates a waterproof yet breathable barrier, designed to keep you dry from the inside out by allowing moisture vapor to escape while preventing external water from penetrating.

This jacket is designed for moderate weather conditions and urban adventures. While it offers good protection against wind and rain, it is not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold temperatures, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

Circular Design Construction means the jacket is made with its end-of-life in mind. It is designed to be more easily recycled into new products, reducing waste and the need for virgin raw materials, thus minimizing its environmental footprint.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. Use a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for detailed steps.

The DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) coating is a treatment applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the material from becoming saturated and helping to maintain breathability.

The product aligns with our Eco-Friendly initiative, meaning that *some* of the raw materials used are recycled. It is not made entirely from recycled materials, but incorporates them to reduce environmental impact.

The jacket features a relaxed fit, designed for comfort and ease of movement, making it suitable for layering over other clothing items.

Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on low heat for 20-30 minutes. If performance is still diminished, consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

This could indicate the breathable membrane is blocked. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and oils. Consider washing according to care instructions. Ensure all vents or openings are clear.
