The North Face

Daybreak Rain Parka - Women's

DryVent is a proprietary fabric technology from The North Face that provides both waterproof protection and breathability. This means that while the fabric keeps rain and moisture out, it also allows sweat and body heat to escape. This is especially beneficial for outdoor activities, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable, even during intense physical exertion in wet conditions.

DWR is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant by causing water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. This feature is crucial for keeping you dry in light rain or wet environments. Our non-PFC DWR treatment is environmentally friendly, ensuring you can enjoy the outdoors without harming the planet.

Seam-sealed construction involves sealing the seams of the fabric with waterproof tape or coating. This technique prevents water from leaking through the stitching, significantly improving the garment's ability to keep you dry. It’s particularly useful in heavy rain or snow, ensuring that you stay protected from the elements.

A 3-panel hood is designed with three pieces of fabric, allowing for a more tailored fit around your head and neck. This design provides better coverage and protection against wind and rain, ensuring that your face and neck remain shielded from harsh weather conditions. It also allows for greater mobility and comfort while wearing the parka.

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. It features a grid pattern that helps prevent small tears from spreading, making it an excellent choice for outdoor gear. This durability means that your parka can withstand rough conditions and activities, ensuring it lasts longer and performs better in the field.

The combination of DryVent technology, DWR treatment, seam-sealed construction, a 3-panel hood, and ripstop fabric creates a parka that is not only waterproof and breathable but also durable and comfortable. Together, these features ensure that you stay dry, protected, and comfortable during your outdoor adventures, allowing you to focus on enjoying your activities without worrying about the weather.
