Yes, the Antora Jacket is made with DryVent 2L recycled nylon ripstop, which is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable material designed to keep you dry in wet conditions.
It is ideal for wet, windy, and unpredictable weather conditions. Its design makes it suitable for cool to mild temperatures, perfect for layering during outdoor adventures or urban use.
Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Typically, technical shell jackets like this should be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric cleaner, then tumble dried on low. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
The Antora Jacket is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. It provides protection from the elements but does not offer significant insulation on its own. For cold weather, it's designed to be layered over insulating garments.
DryVent is a proprietary technology from The North Face that uses a polyurethane coating for waterproof protection, moisture permeability, and durability. It ensures that water stays out while perspiration can escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Absolutely. Its durable, weather-resistant construction, secure pockets, and adjustable features make it an excellent choice for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and trekking.
Yes, The North Face Antora Jacket is constructed with a 100% recycled nylon shell and recycled polyester mesh linings, demonstrating a commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Wash the jacket according to care instructions using a technical fabric cleaner. Dirt, oils, and detergents can compromise the DWR finish. If repellency doesn't improve, consider reapplying a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment product.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap to remove any debris or grime. After drying, apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Ensure all zippers (main and pockets) are fully closed and the storm flap is properly secured over the center front zipper. Check that the hood and hem drawcords are cinched appropriately to prevent water entry. Also, ensure you are not overheating, as internal condensation can sometimes be mistaken for leakage. If persistent, the DWR may need reapplication.
This jacket features a 'standard fit' which is generally true to size. Utilize the adjustable hood and internal cinch cord at the hem to customize the fit. If the jacket still feels significantly off, double-check your measurements against The North Face size guide or consider a different size.
The Antora Jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply adjust the hood and hem drawcords for your desired fit to begin enjoying its protective features.
This jacket is designed for adult males and features a 'standard fit' (true to size), making it compatible with your usual sizing for layering. It can be worn over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.
To maintain the jacket's performance, especially its water-repellent finish, always refer to the garment's care label. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric cleaner (like Nikwax or Grangers). Close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing. Tumble dry on low heat with a few tennis balls to help restore loft and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) if needed. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and ironing, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR coating. For best results, re-treat with a DWR spray periodically as recommended by the technical fabric cleaner manufacturer.
