Product Information

Full details

The North Face Kids' Antora Rain Jacket is designed for young adventurers who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is keeping kids dry and comfortable in heavy rain thanks to waterproof and breathable technology. A minor caveat is that while it offers protection, it's primarily a rain shell and may require layering for colder temperatures. This jacket features seam-sealed DryVent™ technology, an attached hood, secure zip pockets, and reflective details for visibility, all made from 100% recycled polyester.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Antora Rain Jacket is a waterproof shell. It is designed to keep you dry and can be layered with insulating clothing for warmth in colder conditions.

What is DryVent™ technology?

DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary technology that provides waterproof and breathable protection. It uses a PU coating to allow water vapor to escape from the inside while preventing water from entering from the outside.

How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?

Refer to The North Face's size chart for kids' apparel. The 'XL' size typically corresponds to a specific age range and chest measurement, but it's best to check the official chart for precise dimensions.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

While the jacket itself offers no insulation, it serves as an excellent outer layer. You can wear a warm fleece or down jacket underneath for cold-weather activities.

What does PFC-free DWR mean?

PFC-free DWR means the jacket's water-repellent finish is free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment. This indicates a more eco-conscious manufacturing process.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing.

Are the reflective elements on the sleeves effective in all lighting conditions?

The reflective bars are designed to reflect light sources, such as headlights, making the wearer more visible in low-light conditions. Their effectiveness depends on the presence of an external light source.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof (water soaks in)

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners or harsh detergents during washing.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric, reducing breathability. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Check that the garment is not over-layered for the current conditions, which can lead to internal condensation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary. Make sure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged

Avoid excessive heat during drying or ironing, as this can damage reflective elements. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to repair it, as it may compromise the reflectivity. Focus on proper washing and drying techniques to prevent further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility:

The jacket is designed as an outerwear layer and is compatible with various types of clothing worn underneath. For colder weather, it can be layered over fleeces or insulated jackets. Ensure the size is appropriate for comfortable layering without restricting movement.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Machine Wash: Wash with cold water on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powders, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. It is recommended to dry the jacket with a couple of towels to help restore the DWR finish.
  4. Zipper Care: Close zippers and fasten Velcro tabs before washing to prevent snags.
  5. Avoid Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean or use iron.
  6. Re-applying DWR: If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to the product's instructions, often available at outdoor gear retailers.
