FAQs
What is DryVent™ technology?
DryVent™ is a technology used by The North Face that makes products waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It's designed to keep you dry from the inside and out.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Quest DryVent™ Mono Cropped Jacket is an uninsulated shell. It is designed to protect you from the elements and is intended to be layered over other clothing for warmth.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to The North Face sizing chart for women's apparel. Given this is a cropped jacket, ensure the length and fit around the torso and arms meet your comfort and coverage expectations.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
While it provides excellent wind and water protection, it does not offer significant insulation. For very cold weather, you would need to layer significantly warmer insulating garments underneath.
What is the difference between this and a regular length jacket?
The primary difference is the length. This is a cropped jacket, meaning it ends higher on the torso than a standard jacket. This offers a different aesthetic and potentially more freedom of movement for certain activities.
How often should I re-apply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and care. Typically, re-applying is needed when water no longer beads on the fabric surface after washing and drying, usually after several washes or significant wear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof / water soaks into the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash the jacket and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, apply a DWR re-treatment product.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure zippers are fully closed before washing and drying.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur in humid conditions as moisture vapor tries to escape. Ensure all vents are open if applicable, and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. For extreme humidity, it might be reaching its breathability limit.
