FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The Antora DryVent jacket is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. It is not insulated for extreme cold but can be layered with warm mid-layers for added warmth in cooler conditions.

How do I ensure the best waterproofing performance?

Proper washing and drying are key. Always follow the care instructions, and tumble drying on low heat helps reactivate the DWR finish. Re-apply DWR treatment if water stops beading on the surface.

Can I use bleach or fabric softener when washing?

No, avoid using bleach or fabric softener as they can damage the fabric and compromise the waterproof and breathable properties of the DryVent membrane.

What does 'DryVent' technology mean?

DryVent is The North Face's proprietary waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology. It uses a durable coating or membrane to prevent water from penetrating the outer fabric while allowing water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a technical fit designed for layering and movement during outdoor activities. It features adjustable elements at the hood and hem for a more personalized fit.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, this jacket is made with recycled materials, contributing to a reduction in environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or not repelling water

Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Wash the jacket following care instructions and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the finish. If performance does not improve, consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Hood adjustment is loose

Ensure the drawcords are properly threaded and tightened. If the cord lock is not holding tension, check for damage or wear and consider replacing the cord lock mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed as outerwear, it layers effectively over base and mid-layers. It is suitable for most outdoor activities including hiking, camping, and general travel in wet or windy environments.

Care Instructions:
