Product Information

Full details

The North Face Quest Mono Shell Jacket is designed for active women who require reliable, lightweight protection against unpredictable weather conditions. Featuring high-performance DryVent technology, it excels at blocking wind and heavy rain while maintaining essential breathability for outdoor activities. While it provides excellent environmental coverage, the jacket's shell-focused design lacks heavy insulation, making it best suited as a protective outer layer for layering rather than a standalone winter coat.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use a mild, technical detergent and avoid fabric softeners.

Can I wear this in deep winter?

The jacket acts as a shell. It is windproof and waterproof, but it has no insulation. You should layer it over thermal mid-layers for winter use.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is fixed for better protection against wind and rain entry points.

Does it have internal pockets?

This model features two secure, zippered hand pockets on the exterior.

What does DryVent mean?

DryVent is The North Face's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology designed to keep you dry both inside and out.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the outer fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off; wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR treatment spray.

Internal condensation buildup

Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton, which traps sweat inside the shell.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed for intuitive use. To set it up for your outing, adjust the hem shock-cord to your preferred tension to ensure it stays in place during movement.

To maintain the jacket's performance, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent that is safe for waterproof finishes.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, use a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
  3. Restoring: If water stops beading on the surface over time, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing to maintain its effectiveness.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it under heavy items for long periods.
