Full details

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The Quest Jacket is a shell, not an insulated parka. It will protect you from rain and wind, but you will need to wear insulating layers like a fleece or down sweater underneath for winter warmth.

Does it come with a hood?

Yes, it features a fixed, adjustable hood that provides consistent protection against the elements.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical outdoor cleaner. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Is the jacket truly waterproof or just water-resistant?

It is fully waterproof, utilizing The North Face's DryVent fabric technology and sealed seams to provide a complete barrier against rain.

Are the cuffs adjustable?

The cuffs are elasticated, providing a snug seal to keep out wind and rain without the need for velcro tabs.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and tumble dry it on low to refresh the coating, or apply a spray-on waterproof treatment.

Feeling clammy inside the jacket

Ensure your base layers are moisture-wicking synthetic or wool materials. Cotton traps moisture and prevents the jacket's breathable membrane from working effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully waterproof and windproof construction
  • Highly breathable for active outdoor use
  • Lightweight and easy to pack for travel
  • Soft chin guard prevents zipper chafing
  • Secure zippered pockets for valuables

Cons

  • Not an insulated jacket, requires layering in cold weather
  • The fit is specific to standard sizing and may vary with heavy underlayers
  • Does not stow into its own pocket

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is a straightforward shell, meaning no complex setup is required. For the best performance, pair it with a synthetic or merino wool base layer to help wick moisture away from your body, as the jacket's breathability works best when supported by effective base-layer management. To maintain the waterproof finish, regularly wash the jacket in cool water with a mild, technical garment cleaner and avoid fabric softeners, which can strip the water-repellent (DWR) coating. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to reactivate the water-repellent finish as directed by the manufacturer care label.
