The North Face Kids' Antora Rain Jacket excels in keeping children dry and comfortable during various outdoor activities in wet weather. Its DryVent™ 2L fabric ensures rain beads up and rolls off, while also allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, preventing that sticky, clammy feeling. This makes it ideal for a child's walk to school in the rain, playing at the park after a shower, or exploring nature trails on a damp day. The three-piece hood with an elasticated rain-guard tunnel provides crucial head protection without hindering visibility, staying securely in place during active play. The VISLON® centre front zip with its hook-and-loop flap creates a robust barrier against wind and rain, while the chin zip guard prevents uncomfortable rubbing. Parents will appreciate the secure-zip hand pockets for storing small treasures or snacks and the ID label for easy identification. The reflective bar on the sleeves adds an important safety element, making children more visible to others during overcast conditions or in the early evening. The jacket's design allows for comfortable layering underneath, making it versatile for different temperatures.
This rain jacket requires no complex setup; simply put it on. It is designed for kids in the unisex age group and is compatible with a range of casual and outdoor outfits, easily fitting over base layers or light fleeces. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, proper care is crucial.
Care Instructions:
Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the membrane and reduce breathability and water repellency.
Drying: Tumble dry low. If water repellency seems reduced, tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes after washing to reactivate the DWR finish. Avoid high heat.
Bleach/Iron/Dry Clean: Do not bleach, do not iron, and do not dry clean, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR treatment.
DWR Maintenance: Over time, the non-PFC DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, consider reapplying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Always follow the product instructions for DWR reapplication.
