Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Antora Rain Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on over your child's existing layers as needed. For optimal comfort in varying temperatures, layer appropriately underneath – a warm fleece for cold rain or a t-shirt for warmer, wet days. Ensure the VISLON® centre front zip is fully closed and the hook-and-loop flap secured for maximum protection.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for Children & Youth and is Unisex. It is compatible with standard children's outdoor apparel. As advised by The North Face, consider going one size up from your child's usual size to ensure the best fit and allow for layering underneath.
Care
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the DWR finish and membrane.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. For best results in restoring the DWR, tumble dry for an additional 20 minutes after the garment is dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
- DWR Re-activation/Re-application: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can reactivate it by tumble drying the jacket or re-apply a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics (available at outdoor retailers).
