Full details

The North Face Quest Waterproof Jacket is a high-performance shell designed for adult men who demand reliable protection during hiking and outdoor activities. This jacket excels by combining windproof and waterproof capabilities with a breathable polyester construction, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in unpredictable weather. While its feature-rich design offers excellent versatility, users should note that as a lightweight shell, it is intended primarily for layering rather than providing significant thermal insulation on its own.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, it is a waterproof shell. It is designed to be worn over insulating layers like fleeces or sweaters.

Can I wear this for skiing?

While it provides waterproof protection, it lacks specialized ski features like a powder skirt or lift pass pocket. It is best suited for hiking.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Does it have internal pockets?

The jacket includes secure outer pockets, but storage options vary by internal layer configuration.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is integrated into the collar design for better protection against wind and rain.

Does it fit true to size?

Yes, it is designed with a standard fit intended to accommodate mid-layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading up.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment spray, then tumble dry on low to reactivate the finish.

Feeling damp inside the jacket despite no rain.

This is likely moisture buildup from sweat. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers and adjust your zippers or hem for better airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: This jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with a mild technical cleaner designed for outdoor gear.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically treat the outer fabric with a water-repellent (DWR) spray if you notice water stopping to bead on the surface.
  4. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it compressed in a bag for extended periods, as this can break down the waterproof membrane.
  5. Compatibility: This jacket is part of the zip-in series; it is designed to be compatible with other North Face zip-in mid-layers of the same size.
