“I’m 100 per cent sure that it’s raining outside and I’m soaking wet," before jokingly asking the clothing company to "express deliver" a new raincoat to Hooker Valley Lake.

But it looks like The North Face heard Jensen's complaints and request loud and clear as they had a pretty epic response.

A representative from the brand hand took a helicopter trip to Jensen's location where they delivered her a new waterproof raincoat, which Jensen looked delighted (and more importantly dry) with.

In a follow-up TikTok, Jensen shared her "incredible update," and shared how The North Face flew her in a helicopter to the top of a mountain in New Zealand where she was given the new raingear.

She joked in the caption how the brand has "made it out of my burn book."
