FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Antora Rain Jacket is designed primarily for rain protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing, it is not insulated and is best suited for mild to cool, wet conditions. For very cold weather, consider adding a fleece or insulated layer underneath.
How do I choose the right size?
The North Face recommends going a size up from your child's usual size for this jacket to ensure they get the most out of its fit and can layer effectively. Always refer to the specific size chart provided by The North Face for accurate measurements.
Can this jacket be machine washed?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold with like colors. Avoid using chlorine bleach and tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'non-PFC DWR finish' mean?
PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish means the jacket uses a water-repellent treatment that is free from perfluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly.
Are the reflective bars bright enough?
The reflective bar is designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions when exposed to a light source, such as headlights. It meets industry standards for reflectivity but is intended as an aid, not a guarantee of visibility.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The main material is a DryVent™ 2L shell made from recycled polyester. The lining is also made from recycled polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket leaks water
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the velcro draft flap is secured. Check that the seams are not damaged. If leakage persists, the DWR finish may need reapplication or the fabric might be compromised.
Child feels too warm or sweaty
The jacket is breathable, but for very strenuous activity, consider wearing a lighter layer underneath. Ensure the jacket is not zipped up completely if not actively raining, to allow for better ventilation.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) can help lubricate the teeth.
