Full details

Its key benefit is full waterproof and windproof performance thanks to its DryVent™ 2L shell and seam-sealed construction.

FAQs
What does "DryVent™ 2L" mean?
DryVent™ 2L refers to a two-layer waterproof, breathable fabric technology used by The North Face. The '2L' indicates a two-layer construction that provides reliable waterproofing and windproofing while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
Is the jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Reign On Jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. While it allows for layering, it does not have built-in insulation and is best suited for mild to cool conditions when worn alone or with a base layer. For extreme cold, additional insulated layers would be necessary.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a powder detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Avoid dry cleaning.
What is the benefit of the non-PFC DWR finish?
The non-PFC DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish helps water bead up and roll off the jacket's surface. 'Non-PFC' means it is free from perfluorinated chemicals, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?
Yes, the jacket is breathable and designed to manage moisture during moderate activity. For very high-intensity activities where significant sweat is produced, consider venting options or layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a relaxed, boxy fit, meaning it is cut looser than a standard fit and offers more room for layering. It is recommended to take your usual size for this intended fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Clean the jacket thoroughly as per care instructions and consider applying a DWR refresher spray or wash-in treatment suitable for waterproof fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to improve smoothness.
Hood adjustment is loose
Check that the drawstring is properly threaded and tied. If the drawstring toggles are damaged, contact customer support for replacements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
The Reign On Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Its primary compatibility is with other outdoor apparel for layering. For care, it is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors using a powder detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and DWR coating. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. For best results and to maintain water repellency, consider a re-waterproofing treatment periodically, following the product's specific instructions.
