Product Information

Full details

The North Face Women's Quest Jacket is designed for active adults who need a dependable, lightweight outer layer for wet-weather hiking. Its primary strength lies in the dual-layer DryVent technology, which effectively balances waterproof protection with essential breathability. While it excels in shielding against wind and rain, users should note that as a shell jacket, it is best utilized as part of a layering system in colder temperatures.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Quest Jacket is a technical shell designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It features a mesh lining but does not provide thermal insulation on its own.

Can I wear this for heavy snow?

While the DryVent fabric is waterproof and windproof, it is primarily designed for rain and wind protection. For heavy snow, it is best used as a top shell over thermal layers.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features a one-way regulation system, usually found at the back, which allows you to cinch the hood for a secure fit around the head.

Are the seams taped?

Yes, the Quest Jacket uses seam-sealed construction to ensure water cannot penetrate through the stitching.

Is the fabric breathable?

Yes, the two-layer DryVent material is engineered to allow water vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable during physical activities like hiking.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the track. If it remains stiff, clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dirt or dried mud.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully waterproof and windproof construction
  • Excellent breathability prevents overheating during activity
  • Soft-touch lining at the neck and chin for added comfort
  • Lightweight and packable for versatile travel

Cons

  • Shell design requires additional insulation layers for extreme cold
  • Fixed hood design limits style flexibility compared to stowable versions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the garment's internal care label, typically involving a cold machine wash and gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. To reactivate the DWR coating, tumble dry on a low heat setting occasionally.

In terms of compatibility, the Quest Jacket is designed for a standard fit over activewear. If you plan to wear heavy bulky sweaters underneath, consider your preferred layering comfort. The jacket's hood regulation is a one-way pull, designed to be quickly cinched when visibility or rain protection is required.
