FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, The North Face Antora Rain Jacket features DryVent™ 2L fabric with a non-PFC DWR finish and fully seam-sealed construction, making it reliably waterproof against rain.
What age group is this jacket designed for?
This jacket is specifically designed for juniors, offering sizing and features appropriate for children.
Does this jacket provide warmth or is it just for rain?
The Antora Rain Jacket is primarily a waterproof shell designed for rain protection. It offers minimal insulation on its own. For warmth in colder temperatures, we recommend layering appropriate clothing underneath.
How do I wash and care for this jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry low to reactivate the DWR. Avoid ironing or dry cleaning.
Does the jacket have pockets?
Yes, it features two secure-zip hand pockets for safely storing small items.
Is the material environmentally friendly?
Yes, the body fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester, and it features a non-PFC DWR finish, which is a more environmentally conscious water-repellent treatment.
Are there any safety features?
Yes, the jacket includes a reflective bar on the side of the sleeves to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, improving safety.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading up on the jacket surface.
This indicates the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish is wearing off. Wash the jacket following the care instructions, and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, consider applying an aftermarket DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.
Jacket feels damp or clammy inside.
While the jacket is breathable, excessive moisture can occur if worn in very humid conditions or during high-exertion activities. Ensure you are not overdressing underneath the jacket. If persistent, check if the jacket's DWR is still effective (see above solution) or if seams are compromised.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric from the storm flap or chin guard is caught in the zipper teeth. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper with a small brush. A silicone-based zipper lubricant can also help smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using the Antora Rain Jacket is straightforward. Simply put it on over your chosen layers. Ensure the VISLON® centre front zip is fully engaged and zipped up. Secure the hook-and-loop flap closure over the zipper to maximize weather protection. Pull up the attached hood if needed for head protection. The encased elastic cuffs are designed to fit snugly around the wrists without adjustment.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for juniors and is compatible with a wide range of clothing layers underneath, from t-shirts to light fleeces, depending on the temperature. Its unisex design and practical features make it suitable for various outdoor activities like hiking, school, camping, or everyday wear in rainy weather. It's an excellent outer layer for mild to cool wet conditions.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Antora Rain Jacket. Adhere to the following guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane and DWR finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric. For best results and to reactivate the DWR, you may tumble dry for an additional 20 minutes once dry.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- DWR Reapplication: Over time, the Non-PFC DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear (available from outdoor gear retailers). Follow the product instructions for application.
