The Women's Alta Vista Rain Jacket is The North Face's versatile go-to hike shell, built entirely from 100% recycled fabrics — waterproof, breathable, and cut for real-world use rather than specialized backcountry styling. It's the rain jacket for weekend hikes, wet-climate commutes, and the multi-context active-outdoor rotation, built around a seam-sealed DryVent™ 2.5L (two-and-a-half-layer) shell with a non-PFC (perfluorinated-chemical-free) durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
The details handle real rain. An attached, adjustable three-piece hood with drawcord and cord locks gives genuine coverage, an exposed water-repellent center-front zip with a neck zipper garage seals the primary closure, and pit-zip venting sheds heat on uphills. A vertical secure-zip chest pocket doubles as the stuff sack — the whole jacket stows into it — while exposed-zip hand pockets, an internal drop-in pocket, adjustable hook-and-loop cuff tabs, an internal hem cinch-cord, and a printed lining round out the trail-ready package.
