Full details
The North Face Quest Jacket is designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection against unpredictable weather. Its core strength lies in its DryVent technology, which provides a balance of waterproof shielding and breathability, though it is primarily a lightweight shell and lacks significant thermal insulation for extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the DryVent fabric is designed to be highly wind-resistant, protecting you from cold gusts during outdoor activities.
Does this jacket have insulation?
No, it is a shell jacket designed for layering. It does not contain down or synthetic fill.
Can I use this for skiing?
While it provides good rain protection, it lacks specialized ski features like a powder skirt or lift pass pocket.
How do I adjust the hood?
The jacket features a one-way regulation system located on the hood, which you can pull to tighten the fit around your face.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, you can machine wash it. Please follow the care label instructions and avoid fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment spray, then tumble dry on low heat.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Ensure you are not overdressing, as even breathable membranes have limits. If it is warm, try opening the front zipper slightly to allow for better ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket performing at its peak, proper maintenance is essential.
- Setup: Adjust the hood regulation and hem shock cord before heading out to ensure a comfortable fit that moves with you.
- Compatibility: This jacket acts as a shell layer. It is compatible with most mid-layer fleeces or synthetic insulators but is not designed for heavy winter mountaineering alone.
- Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the DWR coating. For drying, a low-heat tumble dry can help reactivate the water-repellent finish, though air drying is often preferred. Re-apply a DWR spray treatment periodically if you notice water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
