FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Antora Jacket is designed primarily for wind protection and light weather. For very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer shell layered over warmer insulating clothing.

How do I adjust the hem?

Locate the internal drawcord with cord locks at the hem. Pull the cord to tighten the fit around your waist and secure it by holding the cord locks.

Can I wear this jacket for running?

Yes, its windproof features and breathability make it suitable for running in windy conditions. However, it is not a specialized running jacket.

What is the main difference between this and a waterproof jacket?

This jacket is windproof, meaning it blocks wind effectively. A waterproof jacket is designed to prevent water penetration, which this jacket offers only to a limited extent.

How should I clean the Velcro fasteners?

Periodically brush the Velcro fasteners with a stiff brush to remove lint and debris that may reduce their effectiveness.

Does it have a hood?

The product description does not mention a hood. This model features windproof fabric, elasticated cuffs, and an adjustable hem with a storm flap.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels tight around the neck

Ensure the zipper is fully zipped and the storm flap is secured properly. The internal drawcord can be loosened if it's restricting airflow.

Wind still getting through cuffs

Check that the elasticated cuffs are not stretched out. Ensure they are snug against the wrists.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can sometimes help lubricate a stiff zipper.

Jacket is not performing as expected in rain

This jacket is primarily designed for wind resistance, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, consider a dedicated waterproof jacket.
