Product Information
Full details
The North Face Antora Rain Jacket is designed for active kids who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and windproof coverage while being made from sustainable recycled polyester. A potential caveat is that while durable, the jacket's focus on lightweight design means it may not offer extreme insulation for very cold conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
The Antora Rain Jacket is primarily designed for wind and rain protection and is not heavily insulated. It is lightweight and can accommodate layering for added warmth.
What does 'recycled polyester' mean?
Recycled polyester is made from post-consumer plastic products, like water bottles. It helps reduce waste and reliance on virgin petroleum-based materials.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to The North Face's size chart, typically available on their website or product tags. The jacket is sized for children, with specific UK sizes indicated.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
While it can be layered, this jacket is best suited for mild to cool, wet conditions. For very cold weather, additional insulating layers are recommended.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
Reapply DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric. This frequency depends on how often and in what conditions the jacket is used.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The hand pockets are secure-zip, offering good protection against light rain and splashes. They are not designed to be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water-repellent
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor gear following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Reflective bar is peeling or damaged
Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to reattach. If significantly damaged, it may compromise visibility.
