FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Valley View Jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate insulating mid-layers underneath.
How do I adjust the hood for a better fit?
The hood has an adjustment system, typically a drawcord or toggles, located at the back or sides. Tighten these to create a closer, more secure fit around your head.
What is DryVent™ fabric?
DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that uses a durable, waterproof, and breathable coating or membrane to keep you dry and comfortable in adverse weather conditions.
Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold with like colors using a powder detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.
What should I do if the jacket loses its water repellency?
If water no longer beads up on the surface, you may need to reapply a DWR finish. Follow the product's care instructions for washing and then apply a suitable DWR treatment.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The hand pockets feature secure zips designed to keep contents dry from rain. The chest pockets are also zippered for secure storage.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This can be due to internal condensation. Ensure underarm vents are open during strenuous activity and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
Water seems to be seeping through seams.
Check if the DWR coating needs reapplication. Follow the care instructions to wash and then apply a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve smooth operation.
