Product Information

Full details

The North Face Quest DryVent Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, high-performance outer shell for hiking, commuting, and general outdoor recreation in wet conditions. It excels by providing excellent moisture management through its breathable DryVent technology and a comfortable, protective fit, though it lacks the insulation of a dedicated winter parka, making it best suited for layering in variable weather.

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The Quest is a shell jacket with no insulation. It is perfect for wet autumn or spring days but should be worn over a heavy fleece or insulator for winter use.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is permanently attached as part of the three-piece construction for better wind protection.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild technical cleaner. Always check the internal garment tag for specific instructions.

Is the jacket fully windproof?

Yes, the DryVent material is engineered to be fully windproof, preventing wind-chill while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it hanging in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid storing it compressed or folded tightly for long periods to keep the fabric performing optimally.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

Check your layering system. Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable cotton base layers, which trap sweat against your skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly packable for travel
  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection
  • Breathable design prevents overheating
  • Soft-touch lining increases wearer comfort
  • Adjustable features allow for a customized fit

Cons

  • Not insulated, requires base layers for warmth
  • Lacks underarm ventilation zippers
  • Best for light-to-moderate rain rather than extreme storms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, proper maintenance is essential:

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for outerwear. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane.
  • Drying: Air drying is recommended. You may tumble dry on a low setting if the care label permits, as light heat can sometimes reactivate the DWR finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the DWR performance; if water stops beading on the surface, consider applying a spray-on waterproofing treatment.
  • Compatibility: This jacket serves as a shell layer. In colder temperatures, wear it over a fleece or synthetic down mid-layer to maximize warmth without sacrificing mobility.
