FAQs
What is DryVent™ 2L?
DryVent™ 2L is a waterproof, breathable technology used by The North Face. The '2L' refers to a two-layer construction that provides reliable waterproofing and windproofing while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside.
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the DryVent™ 2L shell with a non-PFC DWR finish is designed to provide excellent protection in moderate to heavy rain conditions.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The Antora Jacket is a shell layer, offering wind and water protection. For cold weather, it is best worn over insulating layers like fleece or down jackets.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
What does 'non-PFC DWR' mean?
It means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish applied to the jacket does not contain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), making it a more environmentally friendly option.
Where is the heat transfer logo located?
The heat transfer logo is located on the left chest and on the back-right shoulder.
Can the hood be detached?
No, the hood is attached to the jacket and features an adjustable drawcord and cord locks for a customized fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure the DWR finish is active. If not, wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat. If the issue persists, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Check for debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the teeth with a soft brush. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Hood adjustment cords are tangled.
Carefully untangle the cords. Ensure cord locks are functioning correctly. Store the jacket with the hood loosely adjusted to prevent tangling.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the membrane. Wash and dry as per care instructions. Excessive internal moisture can also be due to high exertion; consider wearing fewer layers underneath during intense activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Antora Jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for general outdoor use and layering. It pairs well with base layers and mid-layers for added warmth. Its unisex design makes it suitable for most adult males.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Washing: Machine wash with cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as they can degrade the waterproof finish.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with a tennis ball or clean towel to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Do not iron or dry clean.
- Re-waterproofing: If the DWR finish wears off (water no longer beads up on the fabric surface), you can reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product instructions carefully.
