A jacket may look suitable for every season in the product photo, but in practice, much depends on the material, fit and intended use. People searching for The North Face women's jackets often compare a waterproof shell, a warm women's fleece jacket and a casual model for the city. These jackets serve different purposes. Choosing the wrong one could leave you too warm while cycling, insufficiently protected from rain or unable to wear it comfortably over a jumper.
A jacket with a DWR finish can temporarily make light rain bead off. That does not automatically mean the jacket is waterproof for prolonged periods. Check whether the product description mentions waterproof material, taped seams and an adjustable hood. According to The North Face's product description, the Quest Jacket has a fully sealed construction and DryVent material. This is a brand claim from the product information, not a guarantee for every weather situation or length of use.
A women's fleece jacket feels warm and is comfortable as a mid-layer. However, fleece generally does not provide standalone protection against strong wind or rain. For walking, camping or changeable weather, a fleece jacket often works better underneath a windproof or waterproof women's jacket.
Sizes vary by model and fit. Do not look only at XS, S or M; also check chest measurement, hip measurement, sleeve length and jacket length. Allow room for an extra layer underneath. A shell that fits closely over a T-shirt may become uncomfortable when you wear a thick The North Face women's fleece jacket underneath it.
For a women's jacket for walking, three elements are particularly relevant:
Also note the difference between a breathable women's outdoor jacket and a fully sealed rain jacket. According to the product description, the Quest Jacket has a mesh lining and breathability is listed as a feature. Actual ventilation depends, among other things, on exertion, temperature, clothing layers and humidity.
A fleece jacket is primarily suitable as a warm mid-layer. According to the product description, model NF0A8DZY is made from 100% polyester fleece and has a standard fit, full-zip fastening and zipped pockets. The jacket can be combined with a waterproof outer layer.
For everyday use indoors, travelling or dry walks, a women's fleece jacket may be sufficient. In rain or strong wind, an additional shell makes more sense. Bear in mind that a thick fleece underneath a close-fitting jacket can restrict your freedom of movement.
A black women's jacket is easy to combine with jeans, walking trousers and workwear. However, check that the colour on the product page matches the product variant. The Quest variants in this selection are listed as TNF Black/Foil Grey. The fleece variants are listed as TNF Black/Smoked Pearl.
For the Quest Jacket, the size chart includes:
Always use the size chart for the model you have chosen. The stated size recommendations describe a standard, comfortable fit. You may need extra room for a thick mid-layer.
Why it suits this profile: A practical choice for anyone looking for one jacket for commuting, short walks and changeable weather. The black colour with grey details works well for everyday wear.
The product description mentions sealed seams and an adjustable hood, so you do not have to rely solely on a water-repellent finish.
2-layer DryVent according to the product description, mesh lining, two zipped pockets and an adjustable hem.
Why it suits this profile: Suitable for anyone who values comfort and warmth and is looking for a versatile layer for walking, camping or everyday use.
The jacket is clearly described as a mid-layer. This makes the difference between it and a waterproof outer jacket clear before you order.
100% polyester fleece according to the product information, zipped pockets and a standard fit for layering.
Why it suits this profile: A shell for longer walks and outdoor activities where rain, wind and changing conditions are a factor.
According to the manufacturer, the jacket has adjustable cuffs, a drawcord at the hem and a hood. This helps prevent an open, draughty fit.
Waterproof, windproof and breathable are mentioned in the product description; it also has two zipped pockets and a mesh lining.
If you are mainly looking for a comfortable jacket for shopping, travelling or everyday use, a Sherpa women's jacket may be more appealing than a technical shell. According to the product description, the Ladies Sherpa Mix Jacket in black has an oversized fit, soft Sherpa fabric, nylon panels, a high collar and a mesh lining. The jacket also has side pockets, a zipped chest pocket and elasticated cuffs.
This model is not the same as a The North Face Quest women's jacket. The Sherpa jacket is designed for casual use and style, so check before buying whether you need waterproofing and wind protection. A black shacket can also be a practical option for a city outfit. See the range of black shackets.
The lifespan depends on use, washing, storage and care. Always follow the care label in the jacket. For the fleece variants, the product information states that they should be washed at a maximum of 40 °C, washed inside out, kept away from bleach and air-dried. According to this information, the fleece must not be tumble-dried, ironed or dry-cleaned.
For the Quest Jacket, follow the product description and care label. According to the manufacturer, the water-repellent performance can be treated again when necessary. Only use a product suitable for the material in question. Fasten zips before washing and store the jacket completely dry.
We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
A fleece jacket is primarily intended as a warm mid-layer. According to the product information for the fleece model mentioned, the jacket is designed to be combined with a breathable, waterproof outer layer. For rain, choose a separate waterproof women's jacket or shell.
This varies by model. According to the product description, the Quest Jacket has a standard, comfortable fit. Use the chest measurement and jacket length from the size chart rather than relying solely on your usual size. If you want to wear a fleece underneath, allow extra room around the chest and shoulders.
Follow the care label and do not use just any fabric softener or harsh product. Allow the jacket to dry according to the instructions and, over time, check whether water still beads off the surface. According to the product description, a DWR finish can be reapplied with a suitable care product.
