FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The Quest Hooded Jacket is designed for protection against wind and rain and is breathable. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer this jacket over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down.
How do I clean The North Face Quest Hooded Jacket?
Machine wash the jacket at 40 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent, with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
What does DryVent™ technology mean?
DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that utilizes a durable, waterproof, and windproof coating or fabric construction. It is designed to be breathable, allowing water vapor to escape from the inside while preventing external moisture from entering.
Can I adjust the fit of the hood?
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable drawstring hem for a customized fit, and the hood is designed to offer a secure fit to protect against the elements.
What are the pocket features?
The jacket includes two zipped pockets on the front, providing secure storage for essentials.

Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully waterproof anymore
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to product instructions if the original coating has worn off. Check that all zippers are fully closed and the hood/hem adjustments are tightened.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the inner mesh lining is clean and free from debris. If wearing thick, non-wicking layers underneath, consider switching to lighter, moisture-wicking base layers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt crystals. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
