FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Antora Rain Jacket?
The primary purpose is to provide protection from rain and wind, keeping children dry and comfortable during outdoor activities in inclement weather.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Antora Rain Jacket is a shell jacket and is not insulated. It is designed to be worn as an outer layer, and additional layers can be added underneath for warmth.
How do I know if I should size up?
Children grow rapidly. If your child is between sizes or on the taller side for their age, considering sizing up will ensure a longer wear time and accommodate layering underneath.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are secure-zip welt pockets, designed to keep items dry from light rain and prevent them from falling out. However, they are not fully waterproof, so sensitive electronics should be protected with an additional waterproof case.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in cold weather when layered with warm clothing like fleece or thermal layers. The jacket itself provides wind protection and a waterproof barrier.
How durable is the heat transfer logo?
The heat transfer logo is designed for durability. To maintain its condition, follow the recommended washing and drying instructions, and avoid ironing directly on the logo.
What does 'reverse-entry welt hand pockets' mean?
This refers to the design of the pocket opening. 'Reverse-entry' means the zipper is placed so the opening is less visible and helps prevent water from entering the pocket. 'Welt' refers to the fabric strip around the pocket opening.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil tip on the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
Water is seeping through the fabric
Check the jacket for any damage or wear. If the fabric treatment has worn off, consider re-waterproofing the garment using a spray or wash-in product suitable for outdoor apparel.
Reflective details are peeling or damaged
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective details. Minor peeling might be addressed with careful application of fabric glue, but extensive damage may be irreparable.
Jacket feels less waterproof after several washes
Follow the care instructions meticulously. Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. If needed, apply a new DWR treatment after washing and drying according to the product's instructions.
