Product Information
Full details
This guide is for parents looking to keep their young adventurers dry and warm during wet weather. The Antora Rain Jacket offers waterproof protection and insulation, ensuring comfort on rainy days. A potential consideration is the sleeve-specific insulation, which may not provide full-body warmth in extremely cold conditions without additional layers. Key features include DryVent™ waterproof technology, fleece lining, Heatseeker™ sleeve and lower body insulation, reflective elements for visibility, and secure zippered pockets.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy weather?
The Antora Rain Jacket offers good insulation for sleeves and lower body, but for very cold or snowy conditions, layering with a warmer fleece or down jacket underneath is recommended for full-body warmth.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by The North Face for children's sizing. The jacket is designed to allow for layering, so a slightly roomier fit is expected.
Can the hood be removed?
The product description does not specify a removable hood. Typically, rain jackets of this design feature an integrated hood.
What material is the jacket made of?
The outer shell is 100% Nylon. The filling is 100% Polyester, and the lining is 100% Polyester.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are described as secure-zip welt hand pockets, which offer protection against light moisture but may not be fully waterproof for submersion.
What is the benefit of the reflective bar?
The reflective bar on the sleeves increases visibility in low-light conditions, such as at dawn, dusk, or during heavy rain, enhancing safety.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions and that fabric softeners or excessive detergent were not used. Re-waterproofing treatments can be applied if performance degrades significantly.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if it remains stiff.
Fleece lining feels matted.
Avoid high heat drying, which can cause matting. Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush after drying if needed.
Reflective elements are peeling.
Avoid direct ironing on reflective parts and harsh scrubbing during washing.
