The North Face Valley View Jacket - Women's Chroma Purple, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I keep the Valley View Jacket stashed in my pack all spring—it's light, super breathable, and totally reliable when the weather flips. The 3-layer DryVent shell sheds heavy rain without feeling clammy inside, and it vents well during uphill pushes. It’s become my go-to for unpredictable shoulder season hikes.""We hike for the long views and unexpected turns—and the Valley View Jacket keeps us dry through all of it. Built by The North Face, this ultralight shell pairs breathable waterproof protection with smart trail features that keep us moving no matter the forecast. Whether we’re scrambling into storm clouds or just navigating misty switchbacks, we trust the Valley View to seal out the elements without weighing us down. Its DryVent™ 3L construction, made from mostly recycled fabrics, blocks out rain while venting out heat, making it ideal for high-output efforts in shifting conditions. AquaGuard® zips protect pocket contents and prevent leaks, while the underarm vents dump heat on big climbs. When the sun breaks through, it packs into its own pocket and stashes easily in our bag—right where we’ll need it next."
