The North Face Quest DryVent™ Mono Cropped Jacket - Black - S

DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer layer. It uses a durable coating or membrane to prevent water penetration while allowing water vapor to escape from the inside.

The Quest DryVent™ jacket is designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. While it can be layered for warmth, it does not contain significant insulation and may not be sufficient as a standalone winter jacket in very cold climates.

Refer to The North Face's official sizing chart for women's apparel. Ensure you measure your chest, waist, and hip accurately. The 'S' in the product title refers to the size designation.

Yes, the lightweight and breathable nature of the DryVent™ fabric makes it suitable for high-intensity activities where staying dry from both external rain and internal sweat is important.

'Mono' typically refers to a single color design, and 'Cropped' indicates a shorter length than a standard jacket, ending at or above the waist.

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can potentially affect the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish over time. Hanging is ideal.

Ensure all seams are sealed and check for damage to the DryVent™ membrane. Re-wash following care instructions, as detergent residue can sometimes affect waterproofing. Consider a DWR re-proofer if water is beading poorly on the outer fabric.

This can occur if the breathability is overwhelmed. Ensure the jacket is not overly layered underneath for the activity level. Check that vents (if any) are open and that the fabric's breathable pores are not blocked by dirt or residue; wash according to care instructions.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
