Product Information
Full details
The North Face Antora Jacket is designed for individuals seeking a versatile outer layer that performs reliably in both urban environments and light outdoor conditions. Its key win lies in its balanced blend of weather protection—being windproof and water-repellent—with comfortable breathability, making it dependable for unexpected weather shifts. A minor caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not described as fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is The North Face Antora Jacket fully waterproof?
The Antora Jacket features DryVent™ 2L recycled nylon ripstop with a water-repellent non-PFC finish, making it windproof and water-repellent. While it will protect you from light rain and unexpected showers, it is not rated as fully waterproof for sustained heavy downpours.
What seasons is this jacket suitable for?
This jacket is ideal for spring, summer, and fall as a protective outer shell. In colder winter conditions, it can be used effectively as part of a layering system with appropriate base and mid-layers underneath.
How should I clean my Antora Jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Refer to the care label inside your jacket for specific instructions.
Does it have internal pockets?
The jacket is equipped with secure zip chest and side pockets for your essentials. The product description does not explicitly mention an internal pocket.
What kind of fit does the Antora Jacket have?
The Antora Jacket features a 'regular fit.' It is recommended to take your usual size for the intended fit and comfort.
Is this jacket made from recycled materials?
Yes, the Antora Jacket is constructed with a 100% recycled nylon shell and recycled polyester mesh linings, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading up on the jacket surface.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reactivation. Wash the jacket following care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat or apply a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product.
Zipper feels stiff or is sticking.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. If still stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the teeth.
Jacket feels too tight or too loose.
The Antora Jacket is a regular fit. Ensure you've selected your usual size. For minor adjustments, use the internal cinch cord at the hem and the adjustable hood drawcords.
Jacket feels less breathable than expected.
Ensure you are not wearing too many layers underneath, or layers made of non-breathable materials. Also, ensure all vents (if present, though not explicitly mentioned for this model) are open. A thorough wash can also sometimes restore breathability by removing accumulated dirt and oils.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile Protection: Effectively windproof, breathable, and water-repellent, suitable for varied weather and environments.
- Sustainable Materials: Made with recycled nylon and polyester, reducing environmental impact.
- Adjustable Fit: Features like the adjustable hood, hem cinch cord, and elastic cuffs offer customizable comfort and protection.
- Secure Storage: Multiple zippered pockets keep your essentials safe and easily accessible.
- Understated Style: Classic black colorway with modest branding fits seamlessly into both outdoor and urban settings.
Cons
- Water-Repellency vs. Waterproofing: While water-repellent, it may not offer complete protection in prolonged heavy rain compared to a fully waterproof garment.
- Limited Dedicated Layering Features: Primarily an outer shell, not explicitly designed with extensive internal layering systems (e.g., zip-in liners).
- Fit Not Specialized: "Regular fit, take your usual size" suggests a standard fit without highly specialized athletic cuts, which might not suit everyone's preference for intense activity.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Sizing
The Antora Jacket is designed for a regular fit. It is recommended to take your usual size for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the attached three-panel hood using the drawcord and cord locks to fit snugly around your head. Utilize the internal cinch cord at the hem to tighten the bottom of the jacket, preventing wind and cold air from entering, and use the hook-and-loop storm flap to secure the main zipper against the elements.
Compatibility
This jacket is highly compatible as an outer shell over various base and mid-layers, making it suitable for layering in cooler conditions. Its versatile design pairs well with both activewear for outdoor pursuits and casual attire for urban use.
Care Instructions
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Antora Jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. It's often recommended to tumble dry for a short period to reactivate the DWR finish. If needed, a cool iron can also help reactivate DWR, but avoid direct heat on logos.
- DWR Reactivation: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. You can restore it by using a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product, following the product's specific instructions.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
- Material Note: Made from 100% recycled nylon shell and recycled polyester mesh linings. Always check the garment's specific care tag for the most accurate instructions.
