Product Information
Full details
The North Face Quest Hooded DryVent Waterproof Jacket is a reliable, high-performance outerwear piece designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who require dependable protection from wind and rain. Featuring two-layer DryVent technology, it excels at keeping moisture at bay while maintaining breathability during active pursuits; however, users should note that as a lightweight shell, it does not provide significant thermal insulation on its own and is best paired with base or mid-layers in cold conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear over a base layer to optimize moisture transport.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof shells. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the garment is completely dry before folding to prevent fabric degradation.
