Product Information

Full details

The North Face Quest Mono Shell Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult female hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection against unpredictable weather conditions. The primary benefit of this garment is its combination of lightweight construction and high-performance weatherproofing, thanks to the integrated DryVent technology. While it provides excellent defense against wind and rain, users should note that as a shell layer, it does not include an insulated lining, meaning it is best used as part of a modular layering system in colder climates.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, it is a waterproof shell jacket designed to protect against wind and rain, not to provide heavy insulation.

Can I wear this for winter hiking?

Yes, but you will need to wear insulating layers like a fleece or down vest underneath as it does not have its own thermal lining.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low to maintain the technical coatings.

Does it have an adjustable hood?

The Quest series typically features an integrated hood, though you should check the specific adjustments based on the exact version you have.

What is DryVent fabric?

DryVent is a waterproof and breathable technology from The North Face that keeps you dry by stopping water from entering while allowing internal moisture to escape.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the jacket and apply a technical DWR revitalizing spray.

Condensation building up inside

Reduce internal heat build-up by removing excess layers or adjusting your pace; the jacket is breathable but functions best when moisture management is balanced.

Zipper feels stiff or stuck

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove trail debris or grit; do not force it if stuck.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable waterproof performance with sealed seams
  • Lightweight and packable design for hiking
  • Soft internal lining at the chin and neck for comfort
  • Effective wind-blocking capabilities
  • Secure zipper-enclosed hand pockets

Cons

  • Non-insulated shell requires layering in cold weather
  • Minimalist feature set lacks advanced technical hoods or venting options
  • Polyester material may require specific care to maintain DWR finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Quest Jacket, it is important to follow proper maintenance routines. Because the jacket utilizes a non-PFC DWR finish, the outer fabric may lose its beading capability over time if dirt or oil builds up. Machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using mild detergent, ensuring all zippers are closed to protect the teeth. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the technical coatings. Periodically tumble dry on a low setting or follow the specific care label instructions to help reactivate the water-repellent properties of the DWR treatment. When fitting the jacket, ensure there is enough room underneath to accommodate your desired layering system for colder days.
