Women's Pertex® Explore Jacket
Women's Pertex® Explore Jacket
Insulated Jacket · Pertex® Quantum · 200g Sheet Insulation

Perfectly combining style, performance and comfort, the Women's Pertex® Explore Jacket is a fresh take on highly insulated jackets. Made for all explorers who want to be warm and stylish, it features high-end Pertex® Quantum fabric, a super-lightweight nylon ripstop that's great looking and that we normally only use in our Performance apparel.

Pertex® Quantum Shell
Premium Pertex® Quantum fabric — super-lightweight nylon ripstop with a soft hand-feel and exceptional thermal performance per Pertex®. TNF reserves this for their Performance apparel — gets the upgrade here for everyday use
200g Recycled Polyester Sheet Insulation
Heavy 200g 100% recycled polyester sheet insulation delivers substantial warmth — parka-tier insulation for serious cold without down fragility
Fluorine-Free DWR Finish
Fluorine-free durable water-repellent finish on the shell and body lining — sheds light moisture and snow, no harmful fluorinated chemicals
Modern Relaxed Fit
Relaxed fit through the body layers comfortably over a sweater or fleece — modern silhouette that doesn't look like technical mountaineering kit
Internal Hem Cinch-Cord
Internal hem cinch-cord with cord locks for adjustability — seal in warmth at the bottom hem without the bulk of an external drawcord
Stand Collar
Stand collar sits up to protect the neck and chin from wind and cold — clean look without a hood
Full-Length Zipper Garage + Draft Flap
Full-length center front zip with zipper garage (covered top) and internal draft flap — prevents zipper chin-pinch and blocks wind from sneaking through the front
Reverse-Entry Welt Hand Pockets
Reverse-entry, secure-zip welt hand pockets — clean, low-profile exterior with secure closure; pocket lining is brushed tricot for warm hands
Encased-Elastic Cuffs
Encased-elastic cuffs seal out cold air and snow at the wrist without binding — easy to push up when hands get warm indoors
Embroidered Logos
Embroidered logo on left chest and back-right shoulder — quiet branding that won't peel or scratch after seasons of washing

Sustainability

Recycled Materials
Body fabric (100% recycled nylon) + lining + insulation (100% recycled polyester)
DWR Treatment
Fluorine-free (no PFCs, no fluorinated chemicals)
Washing
Close the center front zip fully and turn the jacket inside out before washing. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Do not use fabric softener — it coats the Pertex® Quantum fibers and the fluorine-free DWR finish, reducing both loft and water repellency.
Drying
Tumble dry LOW with 2–3 clean tennis balls to restore sheet insulation loft. Multiple low-heat cycles (1-2 hours) are normal for 200g of synthetic fill — must dry completely inside and out to prevent mildew and preserve insulating power. Avoid high heat which can damage the Pertex® face fabric and the DWR finish.
DWR Refresh
When water stops beading on the shell, reproof with a spray-on DWR treatment (such as Nikwax TX Direct Spray-On) to restore water repellency on the Pertex® Quantum face fabric and the lining.
Insulation Care
200g sheet insulation is heavy and can clump if not dried properly. If fill looks flat after washing, tumble dry low with 2–3 clean tennis balls to break up clumps and restore loft. Multiple cycles may be needed for full restoration.
Pocket Lining Care
The brushed tricot pocket lining softens over time but can pill with heavy use. Use a fabric shaver to remove pilling and keep the soft hand-feel.
Zippers & Adjustments
Periodically lubricate the center front zip and pocket zippers with a silicone-based lubricant. Test the internal hem cinch-cord periodically — cord locks can loosen over time; tighten to seal in warmth.
Storage
Hang on a wide hanger or fold loosely. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term compression in a stuff sack — the heavy 200g insulation handles compression better than down, but loose storage still extends the jacket's life.
