Product Information

Full details

The North Face Antora Jacket is designed for individuals seeking reliable weather protection and versatile style for both urban environments and light outdoor adventures. Its primary benefit is providing waterproof, windproof, and breathable comfort. However, it functions as a shell layer, meaning it does not offer inherent insulation for extreme cold and requires layering for warmth.

FAQs

Is the Antora Jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, the Antora Jacket is fully waterproof thanks to its DryVent 2L fabric construction and non-PFC DWR finish. It's designed to keep you dry in rainy conditions.

Does this jacket provide warmth for cold weather?

The Antora Jacket is a waterproof shell and does not contain insulation for warmth. It's designed to be layered over fleeces or insulated mid-layers for cold weather protection.

What is 'DryVent' technology?

DryVent is a proprietary technology from The North Face that ensures fabrics are waterproof, windproof, and breathable. The '2L' indicates a two-layer construction, meaning the outer fabric is bonded to a waterproof/breathable membrane, and then protected by an internal lining.

How should I wash my Antora Jacket?

Close all zippers, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and re-apply DWR if needed.

What is the fit of the Antora Jacket?

The jacket features a standard 'regular fit' that is true to size. This fit allows for comfortable movement and accommodates layering underneath.

Can I use this jacket for intense hiking or mountaineering?

While durable and weather-protective, the Antora Jacket is designed for versatile use, including light-to-moderate trail activities and urban wear. For extreme mountaineering or highly technical pursuits, specialized jackets might offer more tailored features for those specific demands.

Is the jacket made from recycled materials?

Yes, the shell is made from 100% recycled nylon ripstop, and the linings are recycled polyester mesh, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads up on the fabric surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical fabric cleaner and re-apply a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.

Jacket feels less breathable or damp inside.

Ensure all zippers are closed to prevent moisture entry. If dampness persists, clean the jacket as per care instructions, as dirt and oils can hinder breathability. Also, consider the intensity of your activity; all waterproof/breathable membranes have limits during high exertion.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap to remove dirt or debris. If needed, apply a specialized zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Hood or hem drawcords don't stay cinched.

Check the cord locks for any debris that might prevent them from gripping. Clean them gently. If they are worn, contact The North Face customer service for potential repair or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Weather Protection: Waterproof, windproof, and breathable DryVent fabric effectively shields against rain and wind.
  • Versatile Design: Suitable for a wide range of activities, from daily commutes to hiking on trails, blending alpine performance with urban style.
  • Sustainable Construction: Utilizes recycled materials, minimizing environmental impact.
  • Practical Features: Adjustable hood and hem, along with secure zippered pockets, enhance functionality and comfort.
  • Comfortable Fit: Designed with a standard, true-to-size regular fit that allows for comfortable layering underneath.

Cons

  • No Built-in Insulation: As a shell jacket, it offers no significant warmth on its own and requires additional layers in cold conditions.
  • Limited for Extreme Cold: Not designed as a primary thermal layer for very low temperatures.
  • Breathability for High Exertion: While breathable, sustained high-output activities in humid conditions might still lead to internal condensation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The North Face Antora Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it and it's ready to wear. Adjust the hood and hem drawcords for a personalized and secure fit.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This jacket is designed as a shell, making it highly compatible with various mid-layers (fleece, insulated jackets) for added warmth in colder conditions.
  • Activities: Suitable for a wide range of activities including daily commuting, light hiking, dog walking, urban exploration, and casual outdoor use.
  • Accessories: Pairs well with hats, gloves, and scarves for full weather protection.

Care Instructions

Proper care helps maintain the jacket's performance and longevity.

  1. Preparation: Close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing.
  2. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof outerwear (avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents).
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to ensure all detergent is removed.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
  5. DWR Re-application: Over time, the non-PFC DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in product) specifically for waterproof/breathable garments to restore water repellency.
  6. Ironing & Dry Cleaning: Do not iron or dry clean the jacket, as this can damage the fabric and DWR treatment.
