Valley View Jacket offers waterproof DRYVENT protection for high-output hikes
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve taken the Valley View Jacket through spring storms and alpine scrambles—it’s incredibly breathable for a 3-layer shell. I stay dry without overheating, and it packs down small into its own pocket, making it a staple in my fast-and-light kit."
When storms threaten the forecast or alpine winds start howling, we trust the Valley View Jacket from The North Face to keep us dry without slowing us down. This lightweight shell is crafted for dynamic hikes and backcountry pursuits, built with waterproof, breathable DRYVENT™ 3L fabric that stands up to wind and rain without sacrificing mobility or comfort.
A cinchable hood with a bonded brim shields us from sideways rain, while the reverse-coil AquaGuard® zippers and fully seam-sealed construction keep moisture out. We stay cool on long climbs thanks to underarm vents, and when the sun returns, the jacket stuffs neatly into its own hand pocket. Built with recycled fabrics and a non-PFC DWR finish, it’s a shell that performs hard and treads lightly.
