The North Face Antora Rain Jacket is expertly designed for kids, providing robust waterproof and breathable protection against wet weather. Its core strength lies in the advanced DryVent™ 2L fabric and environmentally conscious non-PFC DWR finish, ensuring your child stays dry and comfortable during outdoor play. While exceptional for rain, users should note that it's primarily a shell and may require additional layers for warmth in colder temperatures.

Yes, The North Face Antora Rain Jacket features waterproof, breathable, seam-sealed DryVent™ 2L fabric and a non-PFC DWR finish, making it reliably waterproof for rainy conditions.
DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology for waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabrics. It uses a polyurethane coating to repel water from the outside while allowing water vapor from perspiration to escape from the inside, keeping you dry and comfortable.
For best results, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a technical outerwear cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Always check the specific care label inside the jacket for detailed instructions.
The Antora Rain Jacket is primarily a waterproof shell designed for wet conditions. While it offers wind protection, it does not provide significant thermal insulation. For cold weather, we recommend layering it over appropriate insulating garments.
Yes, the jacket includes two secure-zip hand pockets, perfect for keeping small items safe or warming hands.
'Non-PFC DWR' stands for Non-Perfluorinated Chemical Durable Water-Repellent. It's an eco-friendly treatment applied to the fabric's surface that helps water bead up and roll off, enhancing water resistance without using harmful chemicals.
As this jacket is for kids, please refer to The North Face's official children's size chart to ensure the best fit. Consider your child's measurements to choose the appropriate size.
This often means the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish needs refreshing. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions, as cleaning alone can sometimes reactivate the DWR. If not, consider using a DWR restorative product specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of dirt, sand, or debris. Use a small brush to gently clean if necessary. For persistent stiffness, a silicone-based zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly to the zipper teeth, avoiding contact with the fabric.
This could indicate that the DWR finish is compromised, causing the outer fabric to wet out and hinder breathability. Clean the jacket and consider reactivating or reapplying the DWR. Also, ensure you're not wearing too many layers underneath, which can cause excessive perspiration.
Getting your child ready with The North Face Antora Rain Jacket is straightforward. Simply put it on over their clothing. The VISLON® centre front zip is easy for little hands to manage, and the hook-and-loop storm flap provides extra protection. Secure the hood for maximum rain coverage. An ID label inside allows for personalization, which is particularly useful for school or daycare.This jacket is compatible with children across various age groups, as indicated by its 'kids' age_group attribute, and is designed for unisex wear. It pairs well with various layering options underneath, depending on the weather's warmth.For care, the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester. To maintain its waterproof and breathable performance, it is generally recommended to machine wash technical outerwear with a specialized cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics, or a mild detergent, on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents, as these can degrade the DWR finish and the waterproof membrane. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Periodic reapplication of a DWR treatment may be necessary over time to restore water repellency. Always check the garment's specific care label for the most accurate instructions.
