FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, this is a shell jacket designed for rain and wind protection. It does not provide significant thermal insulation.

Can I put this in the dryer?

Yes, tumble dry on a low heat setting, which can actually help restore the water-repellent finish.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is designed to provide secure coverage; check the integrated drawcords to customize the fit around your face.

What is DryVent™?

DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology designed to repel water while allowing inner moisture to escape.

Does it have pit zips for ventilation?

The Quest Mono Shell focuses on a streamlined design for better weather protection and does not feature pit zips.

Is this machine washable?

Yes, machine wash in cold water. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh water-repellent spray treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

This is often caused by condensation from overheating rather than a leak. Ensure you are layering appropriately for your activity level and intensity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof capabilities
  • Lightweight construction for easy packing
  • Comfortable lining features for extended wear
  • Plus-size availability for inclusive fit
  • Durable, seam-sealed polyester construction

Cons

  • Non-insulated shell requires layering for warmth
  • Limited to two hand pockets
  • Not intended for heavy-duty alpine mountaineering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane, regular care is required. Always wash the jacket in cold water with a technical outerwear cleaner, avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can strip the DWR finish. For the best compatibility, use it in conjunction with synthetic moisture-wicking base layers to maximize breathability. After washing, low-heat tumble drying can help reactivate the durable water-repellent coating. When not in use, store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup in the seams.
