The North Face Antora Jacket - Grey

Yes, the Antora Jacket features The North Face's DryVent™ shell technology, which is fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable, designed to keep you dry in wet conditions.

This jacket is ideal for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, camping, and general outdoor use where protection from wind and rain is essential. It's also suitable for everyday wear in inclement weather.

The outer material (shell) is 100% recycled nylon ripstop, and the lining is 100% polyester. These materials contribute to its durability and weather protection.

The Antora Jacket is designed primarily as a protective shell, offering excellent wind and rain resistance. It provides minimal insulation on its own. For warmth in cold weather, it is recommended to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath.

The pockets are secured with zippers to keep your belongings safe and prevent them from falling out. While the exterior fabric is waterproof, the interior of the pockets might not be completely sealed against water in extreme conditions. It's best to protect electronics or highly sensitive items in waterproof pouches if heavy rain is expected.

The jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. For best results and to maintain its DWR finish, refer to the detailed care instructions on the inner label.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is wearing off. Wash the jacket following the care instructions, and then consider reapplying a DWR treatment designed for technical outerwear, either a wash-in or spray-on product.

The Antora Jacket is primarily a shell designed for wind and rain protection, not insulation. For warmth in colder temperatures, layer appropriately underneath with a suitable base layer and a thermal mid-layer (e.g., fleece or insulated jacket).

Ensure there's no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove dirt or debris. If stiffness persists, a specialized zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) can be applied carefully to the teeth.
