The North Face Quest Hooded Jacket - Black

DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that is engineered to be windproof and waterproof, while also allowing water vapor to escape from the inside. This keeps you dry and comfortable in wet and windy conditions.

Refer to The North Face sizing chart for men's jackets. Measure your chest and waist, and compare these measurements to the chart. For this jacket, consider if you plan to layer heavily underneath; if so, you might consider sizing up.

The jacket provides wind and waterproof protection, making it suitable for layering. For very cold weather, you would need to add insulating layers (like fleece or down) underneath.

Yes, the jacket features a high hooded neckline and an adjustable drawstring hem for a customizable fit, helping to seal out the elements.

Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can compromise the fabric's breathability and water-repellency.

'Quest' refers to the specific model or line of jackets from The North Face, typically designed for versatile outdoor activities. 'Hooded' indicates the presence of an integrated hood, and 'Jacket' specifies the garment type.

While the DryVent™ fabric is breathable, its primary design is for protection against wind and rain during hiking or general outdoor activities. For high-intensity running, specialized running jackets might offer superior ventilation.

Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need reapplication. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a DWR refresher spray or wash-in treatment as per the product's directions.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the DryVent™ membrane. Wash using a technical garment cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.

Check that the cord lock mechanism is clean and unobstructed. If the cord itself is frayed or worn, it may need replacement.
