FAQs
How do I wash this jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat, or hang to air dry. For best results and to maintain water repellency, always follow the care label inside the jacket.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Antora Rain Jacket is designed as a waterproof and windproof shell, offering excellent protection from rain and wind. It provides minimal insulation on its own. For colder temperatures, we recommend layering it over appropriate fleeces or insulated jackets.
What does DryVent™ 2L mean?
DryVent™ 2L is a proprietary technology from The North Face that makes the fabric waterproof, windproof, and breathable. '2L' refers to '2-Layer', meaning it has an outer face fabric and an internal polyurethane coating for waterproofing, with a separate lining to protect the coating and enhance comfort.
What is non-PFC DWR?
Non-PFC DWR stands for non-Perfluorinated Compound Durable Water-Repellent. It's an environmentally friendlier water-repellent treatment applied to the jacket's outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, without using harmful PFC chemicals.
Does this jacket have reflective elements for safety?
Yes, the jacket features a reflective bar on the side of the sleeves to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, contributing to your child's safety during dawn, dusk, or overcast weather.
Can this jacket be used for skiing or snowboarding?
While it is waterproof and breathable, this jacket is primarily a rain shell and not designed with specific features like powder skirts or extra insulation typically found in ski/snowboard jackets. It can be used for light winter activities if layered properly, but it's not optimized for prolonged snow sports.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking into the fabric instead of beading up.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish might need refreshing. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat. The heat helps reactivate the DWR. If water still doesn't bead, consider using a DWR re-treatment product suitable for technical outerwear.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being waterproof.
Ensure proper layering underneath. This jacket is breathable but if worn over non-wicking fabrics (like cotton) or if activity levels are very high, some moisture might build up. Also, check that all zippers are fully closed to prevent water ingress.
Zipper is stiff or hard to pull.
Periodically clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a mild soap solution. If it remains stiff, a silicone-based zipper lubricant can help. Always ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper path when zipping up or down.
Unpleasant odor develops after use.
Properly wash and dry the jacket after use, especially if it has been exposed to sweat or prolonged dampness. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Using a technical fabric wash designed for outdoor gear can also help eliminate odors.

Setup: This jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on over your child's regular clothing. Ensure the front zipper is fully engaged and the hook-and-loop flap is secured for maximum protection. Adjust the hood as needed for a snug fit. Compatibility: The Antora Rain Jacket is designed to be worn as an outer shell, making it compatible with various layering systems. It pairs well over base layers and mid-layers (like fleeces or lightweight insulated jackets) to provide warmth in cooler, wet conditions. It's suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities from casual wear to hiking. Care: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, machine wash it cold on a gentle cycle with a liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. For optimal water repellency, consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, following the product's instructions.
