FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features a durable Nylon outer material and a front zipper with a storm flap designed for weather protection. It is a functional transitional jacket intended to offer protection against wind and light precipitation. Specific waterproof ratings (e.g., fully waterproof) are not provided, so it is best suited for mild to moderate weather conditions rather than heavy downpours.

What are the washing instructions for this jacket?

This Antora jacket is machine washable. For optimal care, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Remember to close all zippers before washing. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang dry to preserve the fabric's integrity. Avoid bleach and ironing.

Are the zipped pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?

The zipped pockets are designed to securely store essentials such as keys or a wallet. While many standard smartphones may fit, the exact size can vary by phone model. Always ensure the zipper is fully closed after placing an item inside to maintain security.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?

The North Face Antora Functional Jacket is designed as an outer protective layer for transitional and mild-to-cool weather. For very cold winter conditions, it is intended to be part of a layering system. We recommend pairing it with appropriate insulating base and mid-layers for adequate warmth.

Does the hood detach from the jacket?

No, the hood on The North Face Antora Functional Jacket is integrated into the design and is not detachable. However, it features an adjustable elastic band, allowing you to customize its fit to your preference and weather conditions.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The outer shell of the jacket is constructed from 100% Nylon, providing durability and weather resistance. The interior lining is made from 100% Polyester, contributing to overall comfort.

Troubleshooting

Zipper snags or is difficult to close.

Ensure the storm flap is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper as you operate it. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like beeswax or a specialized zipper stick) to the teeth can also help smooth operation.

Hood feels too tight or too loose on the head.

Utilize the adjustable elastic band on the hood. Pull the toggles to tighten the hood for a more secure fit, or release them to loosen it for increased comfort and ventilation.

Water seems to be soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

While the jacket offers weather protection, prolonged exposure or wear can diminish the water-resistant finish. If water is no longer beading, consider reproofing the jacket with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear. Info needed: Specific care instructions for DWR coating from the manufacturer.

Items feel unsecured in pockets even with zippers closed.

Ensure the zippers are fully closed and not just partially. Avoid overfilling the pockets, especially with bulky or irregularly shaped items that might strain the zipper or create gaps.
