FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?
The Antora Rain Jacket is a waterproof and windproof shell, not an insulated winter jacket. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over warm fleece or insulated garments.
What does 'non-PFC DWR' mean?
Non-PFC DWR refers to a Durable Water-Repellent finish that does not contain per- and poly-fluorinated chemicals. This makes the DWR treatment more environmentally friendly while still providing effective water repellency.
Can this jacket be tumble dried?
Yes, this jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. Tumble drying also helps to reactivate the jacket's DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish.
Does this jacket have an internal lining?
Yes, the jacket features a body lining of 100% recycled polyester and a separate hood and sleeve lining also made of recycled polyester for comfort and to protect the DryVent™ membrane.
Is the hood removable?
No, the attached hood on the Antora Rain Jacket is not removable. It is permanently fixed to provide consistent head protection from the elements.
How do I know if the DWR finish needs reapplication?
You'll know the DWR needs attention if water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface but instead soaks into the outer layer, making the jacket appear 'wet out'.
Is this jacket suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, The North Face Antora Rain Jacket is designed with a unisex fit, making it suitable for both boys and girls.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the jacket's surface, and it feels 'wetting out'.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If this doesn't work, consider purchasing a DWR reapplication spray or wash-in product.
Jacket feels less breathable or clammy inside.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the breathable membrane. Follow the washing instructions carefully. Also, check that you are not wearing too many layers underneath, which can contribute to internal moisture build-up.
The main zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the hook-and-loop storm flap is fully open and not catching. Gently pull the zipper, being careful not to force it. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. A zipper lubricant can also help smooth operation.
The hood feels too loose or doesn't stay up in wind.
The hood features an elasticated rain-guard tunnel designed for a snug fit. While not adjustable with drawstrings, ensure the jacket's front zipper is fully closed, which helps secure the hood in place around the face.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
The Antora Rain Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack and it's ready to wear. It's designed to be a lightweight, protective outer layer.
Compatibility
- Age Group: This jacket is specifically designed for kids.
- Gender: It features a unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
- Layering: Due to its shell design, it's ideal for layering over fleece or base layers for added warmth in colder conditions.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. For best results, use a technical outerwear cleaner specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. Close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. You may need to tumble dry for an extended period to fully activate the DWR finish. Adding a few clean tennis balls to the dryer can help restore loft and DWR.
- Do NOT Use: Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof membrane and DWR coating.
- DWR Reapplication: Over time, the non-PFC DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR treatment (available as sprays or wash-in products) to restore water repellency.
