DryVent is a proprietary fabric technology developed by The North Face that is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing moisture, like sweat, to escape. For outdoor activities such as skiing and snowboarding, this technology is essential as it helps you stay dry and comfortable, enhancing your overall experience.

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. This is important for keeping you dry in wet conditions, especially during outdoor adventures, ensuring that you remain comfortable and focused on your activities.

ChimneyVenting is a specialized ventilation system found in some outdoor clothing that enhances airflow and temperature regulation. It allows heat to escape while still providing protection from the elements. This feature is particularly beneficial during high-intensity activities, as it helps maintain a comfortable body temperature.

StretchVent gaiters are designed to fit snugly around your boots or legs, preventing snow and debris from entering your pants and boots. This snug fit enhances comfort and performance during activities like skiing or snowboarding, allowing you to focus on your movements without distractions from the elements.

Fully sealed seams are a construction technique where the seams of the fabric are sealed with waterproof tape or coating. This prevents water from leaking through the seams, which is crucial for maintaining the waterproof integrity of the garment. Choosing clothing with fully sealed seams ensures that you stay dry even in the wettest conditions.

The combination of DryVent technology, DWR finishes, ChimneyVenting, StretchVent gaiters, and fully sealed seams creates a comprehensive system that keeps you dry, comfortable, and protected from the elements. Together, they enhance your performance and enjoyment during outdoor activities, allowing you to focus on your adventure without worrying about the weather.
