## Long description

The North Face Signal 2.5L DryVent is a waterproof hardshell jacket designed for reliable protection in wet weather. Constructed with a 2.5-layer DryVent membrane, this jacket balances waterproofing and breathability while maintaining a streamlined, lightweight profile. The tnf black/smoked pearl colorway and size S offer a neutral look suitable for urban and outdoor environments. Key shell features include a helmet-compatible hood, fully taped seams and storm flaps to reduce wind and moisture ingress.
Advantages
The 2.5-layer DryVent membrane provides a waterproof, breathable barrier that sheds rain while allowing moisture vapor to escape. The helmet-compatible hood adjusts to fit over headwear and helps keep water away from the face. Fully taped seams and storm flaps improve overall weather resistance. The jacket’s construction and materials aim for a balance of durability and packability, making it practical for both daily commuting and variable outdoor conditions.
Suitable for
 Day hikes and trail walking in wet conditions
 Commuting and urban use during rainy weather
 Layering over mid-layers for variable temperatures
 Outdoor activities requiring a compact, waterproof shell
When it may not be suitable
This jacket is a technical hardshell focused on waterproofing and breathability rather than heavy insulation. It may not provide sufficient warmth in cold, wind-exposed conditions without appropriate insulating layers beneath. For activities that demand maximum breathability during very high-output efforts (e.g., intense mountaineering or running in heavy rain), a heavier three-layer shell or specialized high-airflow garments could be preferable.
Key specifications
 Membrane: 2.5-layer DryVent waterproof/breathable fabric
 Closure: Full front zipper with storm flap
 Hood: Helmet-compatible, adjustable
 Seams: Fully taped seam construction
 Fit: Regular fit sized as S
 Color: tnf black / smoked pearl
How to use
Wear the jacket as an outer shell over base and mid-layers to protect from rain and wind. Adjust the helmet-compatible hood and cord locks to achieve a secure fit that keeps water away from the face. Close the full front zipper and fasten the storm flap to enhance weather protection. For storage or transport, the jacket can be packed into a backpack or stowed in a dry bag; allow it to dry fully after prolonged exposure to moisture before long-term storage.
What to consider before purchase
 Intended use: waterproof protection and light packability versus insulated warmth
 Layering system: plan mid-layers if you need additional insulation in cold weather
 Fit and sizing: ensure size S corresponds to your measurements for shoulder and sleeve length
 Care requirements: follow garment washing and drying instructions to preserve membrane performance
Usage recommendations
Use the Signal 2.5L DryVent as a protective outer layer during rain-prone activities such as hiking, commuting, and travel. Combine with breathable mid-layers for colder conditions and avoid machine washing with fabric softeners or bleach to maintain waterproof performance.
