The North Face

Dragline Jacket - Women's

DryVent Mono is a cutting-edge fabric technology developed by The North Face. It features a three-layer construction that is both waterproof and breathable, ensuring you stay dry from external moisture while allowing sweat to escape. The "Mono" aspect means it's made from a single material, making it easier to recycle after use. This technology is perfect for outdoor activities, keeping you comfortable in various weather conditions.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a special coating applied to fabrics to enhance their water resistance. This treatment causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in, keeping you drier for longer. Our jackets feature a non-PFC DWR treatment, meaning they are free from harmful chemicals, making them a safer choice for both you and the environment.

A powder skirt is an elastic band or fabric that wraps around your waist and connects to your ski pants. Its primary function is to prevent snow from entering your jacket when you fall or ski in deep snow. This feature is essential for maintaining warmth and dryness, allowing you to enjoy your time on the slopes without worrying about snow getting inside your gear.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over your ski or snowboard helmet. This feature ensures that the hood does not obstruct your vision or movement, providing both safety and comfort while you’re on the slopes. It allows for better protection against the elements without compromising your ability to see and react.

Fully sealed seams are a construction technique used to prevent water from leaking through the seams of the jacket. This means that the areas where two pieces of fabric are sewn together are taped or sealed with waterproof material. This feature is vital for ensuring that your jacket remains waterproof, keeping you dry and comfortable in wet conditions, which is especially important during outdoor activities.

The combination of DryVent Mono fabric, DWR treatment, a powder skirt, a helmet-compatible hood, and fully sealed seams creates a high-performance jacket designed for outdoor enthusiasts. Together, these features ensure that you stay dry, warm, and comfortable, allowing you to focus on enjoying your activities without worrying about the weather. Whether you're skiing, snowboarding, or hiking, this jacket has you covered!
