Full details

It's an excellent choice for keeping young explorers dry and comfortable in wet weather, leveraging recycled materials for an eco-conscious design. While highly effective for rainy conditions, its mid-season design means it's best suited for layering during colder temperatures, rather than serving as a heavy winter coat.

FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof or just water-resistant?

This jacket features a seam-sealed DryVent 2L shell with a non-PFC DWR finish, making it fully waterproof and breathable. It's designed to keep your child dry even in heavy rain, not just repel light splashes.

What age range is this jacket designed for?

This particular variant of The North Face Antora Rain Jacket is sized for children aged 5-6 years (UK sizing).

Can this jacket be used in cold winter weather?

The jacket offers some warmth due to its fleece-lined hood and upper body, but it's primarily a mid-season rain shell. For cold winter weather, it's recommended to layer it over warm fleeces or insulating jackets to provide adequate warmth.

Does the jacket have any reflective features for safety?

Yes, it includes a reflective bar on the side of the sleeves, enhancing your child's visibility in low-light conditions.

What materials are used to make this jacket?

The body, lining, hood, and sleeve lining are all made from 100% recycled polyester. It also features a non-PFC Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish.

How do I properly clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof qualities?

Always check the product label for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat, and you can tumble dry for an additional 20 minutes after drying to reactivate the DWR.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems to be losing its water repellency (wetting out).

This often means the DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish needs re-activating or reapplying. First, wash the jacket according to the care label, as dirt and oils can block DWR. After washing and drying, tumble dry on low heat for an extra 20 minutes to reactivate the existing DWR. If this doesn't work, consider using a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (wax-based or silicone-based, specifically for zippers) to the teeth, then work the slider back and forth to distribute it.

Fleece lining feels matted or less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, which can mat fleece fibers. Use a gentle cycle and low heat drying. If it's already matted, a soft brush can sometimes help to gently lift the fibers, but repeated use of fabric softener will worsen this.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent Weather Protection: Fully waterproof and breathable with a durable DWR finish to keep children dry.
  • Sustainable Design: Made from 100% recycled polyester, appealing to environmentally conscious families.
  • Child-Friendly Features: Includes a chin guard, secure pockets, and an ID label for practicality and safety.
  • Comfortable Fit: Elasticated cuffs and hood provide a snug fit, preventing rain ingress.
  • Added Warmth: Fleece lining in the hood and upper body offers extra comfort during cooler weather.
  • Increased Visibility: Reflective elements enhance safety in dimmer conditions.

Cons

  • Mid-Season Focus: While warm in areas, it's primarily a rain shell and may require significant layering for very cold winter conditions.
  • Specific Sizing: Designed for a specific age group (5-6 years), limiting its use as children grow quickly.
  • No Venting Zips: Lacks underarm zips for advanced ventilation, which might be desired during intense activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Your North Face Antora Rain Jacket requires no special setup. Simply unpackage it and it's ready for immediate use.

Compatibility:

  • Age Group: This specific jacket is designed for kids aged 5-6 years.
  • Gender: It is a unisex design, suitable for all children.
  • Season: Best suited for mid-season wear (spring, autumn) and mild winter days with appropriate layering underneath.

Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity and performance of your jacket, always refer to the care instructions on the product label. Generally, for DryVent products:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as they can impair the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. To reactivate the DWR finish, you may tumble dry for an additional 20 minutes on a low setting after the garment is dry, or iron on a low setting without steam, placing a towel between the garment and the iron.
  3. DWR Maintenance: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. You can restore it using a DWR-restoring product, following the manufacturer's instructions.
