Product Information

Full details

The North Face Quest Jacket is an essential outer layer designed for adult women who require reliable waterproof protection during wet-weather hiking or daily commutes. Featuring advanced DryVent technology, it provides an excellent barrier against rain while maintaining breathability to ensure you stay dry and comfortable during physical activity; however, it is primarily a shell jacket, so those in colder climates may need to layer underneath for additional insulation.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Quest Jacket is a shell layer designed to protect against wind and rain rather than provide heavy insulation.

Can I adjust the hood?

The jacket features a fixed hood designed for consistent, immediate coverage, so it does not have stowaway options.

How should I wash my Quest Jacket?

Machine wash in cold water using a mild, technical detergent, and avoid fabric softeners which can damage the waterproof membrane.

Is the fabric breathable?

Yes, the DryVent material is specifically designed to allow interior water vapor to escape, keeping you dry from both outside rain and inside perspiration.

Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?

It serves as a great outer shell for winter hiking, but you will need to add appropriate insulating layers underneath for warmth.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be worn off; clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Moisture buildup inside the jacket.

This is often caused by condensation during high-exertion activities; try removing a mid-layer to increase ventilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully waterproof DryVent exterior
  • Highly breathable for active use
  • Comfortable chin guard lining
  • Lightweight and easy to pack
  • Reliable protection for wet-weather hiking

Cons

  • No integrated thermal insulation layer
  • Fixed hood cannot be stowed or removed
  • Limited to shell-only functionality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a technical shell, the Quest Jacket requires minimal setup; ensure the front zipper is fully engaged to maintain the waterproof seal. Regarding compatibility, the jacket is designed for standard layering; if you plan to wear a thick down jacket underneath, you may find the fit tighter than expected. To maintain the jacket's waterproof integrity, wash it in cold water with a technical outerwear detergent to avoid clogging the breathable pores. Periodically tumble dry on low heat—as recommended by technical shell care guidelines—to help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish on the exterior fabric.
