The North Face Quest Triclimate Jacket — 2-in-1 waterproof insulated jacket, Black, XXL

The North Face Quest Triclimate Jacket — 2-in-1 waterproof insulated jacket in Black, size XXL combines a waterproof outer shell with a removable insulated inner jacket to offer flexible protection across a range of weather conditions. The system allows separate use of the shell for wet weather, the insulated layer for dry and cold days, or both layers zipped together for full waterproofing and warmth. The XX-large size provides a roomier fit for layering and ease of movement.

Advantages

This 2-in-1 design delivers versatility without sacrificing functionality: a waterproof breathable outer shell blocks rain and wind while the insulated inner jacket retains heat. The ability to separate the layers extends the garment’s usefulness across seasons and activities. The black colour and simple styling suit urban and outdoor settings, and the XXL sizing accommodates additional mid-layers for colder conditions.

Suitable for

• Daily urban wear in changeable weather
• Hiking and outdoor walks where rain and cold are possible
• Travel when packing space and versatility are important
• Layering over fleeces or mid-layers for colder climates

When it may not be suitable

This jacket may not be the best choice for extreme alpine conditions that require technical mountaineering-specific features, or for high-output activities where a lighter, highly breathable shell is preferable. Also, those seeking a tailored or slim fit may find the XXL size deliberately roomy for layering.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 2-in-1 system with zip-in insulated inner jacket and waterproof outer shell
• Water protection: waterproof outer layer with sealed seams designed to shed rain
• Insulation: removable insulated inner jacket for thermal retention in cold conditions
• Fit: XXL size with room for layering
• Color: black
• Intended use: everyday, hiking, travel

How to use

Use the outer shell alone for wet, windy conditions to keep water out while maintaining breathability. Wear the insulated inner jacket on dry cold days for lightweight warmth. For full protection in wet and cold weather, zip the inner jacket into the shell and adjust cuffs and hem to reduce heat loss. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions on garment labels for washing and drying to preserve waterproofing and insulation performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure XXL sizing fits your layering needs and body measurements
• Consider the primary use—urban commuting, hiking, or travel—to confirm the 2-in-1 system matches your activity level
• Check care instructions to maintain waterproof membranes and insulation over time

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the shell during rainy conditions and add the insulated layer when temperatures drop. Store and dry the jacket thoroughly after heavy wet use, and reapply water-repellent treatment to the outer fabric as needed to maintain water beading and breathability.
