This jacket is built to perform in varying outdoor conditions, particularly during active pursuits like hiking. Its DryVent™ shell is the core of its protective capabilities, effectively shedding rain and blocking wind. This means you can traverse "muddy paths or rocks and gravel" without worrying about getting soaked or feeling the chill of strong gusts. The adjustable hood and hem allow you to seal out the elements, crucial when facing sudden downpours or strong winds on exposed trails. Zipped side pockets are strategically placed for easy access to essentials like a phone, map, or snacks, keeping them secure and dry. The use of 100% recycled nylon ripstop not only speaks to its durability against snags and tears but also to a commitment to sustainability, making it a responsible choice for outdoor enthusiasts. It's an excellent choice for shoulder-season hikes or as a reliable shell for layering in colder conditions, providing a crucial barrier against wet and windy weather.
Using your Antora Jacket is straightforward:
Wear: Simply put on the jacket over your base and mid-layers.
Adjust Hood: Use the toggle to tighten or loosen the hood for optimal head protection and visibility.
Secure Closure: Zip up the main fastening and press down the adhesive strips on the storm flap for maximum weather protection.
Adjust Hem: Utilize the toggle at the hem to cinch the bottom of the jacket, preventing drafts and customizing the fit.
The Antora Jacket features a standard fit, meaning it's designed to be true to size and accommodate typical layering underneath. It is compatible with a range of outdoor activities and suitable for adult males.
Info needed: Specific washing, drying, and maintenance instructions for DryVent™ fabric are essential for preserving the jacket's waterproofing and breathability. Generally, technical outerwear requires special care such as machine washing cold with a technical wash, avoiding fabric softeners, and tumble drying on low or air drying.
