Fabric: nylon ripstop HyVent™ DT

HYVENT™ DT
The North Face proprietary waterproof and breatheable fabric.

HyVent™ DT is an applied polyurethane (PU) coating combined with a DT print matrix which acts as a dry-touch, “half-layer” coating. This DT half layer adds durability and comfort by physically separating the HyVent™ PU coating from the skin. HyVent™ DT eliminates the need for a liner and is commonly referred to as a 2.5-layer fabric. Instead of a true half layer, our competition typically uses simple prints, which have no function other than delivering aesthetic value.
