Product Information

Full details

The North Face Antora Rain Jacket is designed for adult women who need reliable, versatile weather protection for both outdoor adventures and daily urban commutes. Featuring advanced DryVent technology, this jacket offers a perfect balance of waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance to keep you comfortable in unpredictable conditions. While it is constructed from high-quality recycled polyester and includes thoughtful details like an adjustable hood and secure pockets, users should note that the standard fit is intended for layering, so it may feel slightly loose if worn over minimal clothing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket, but be sure to close all zippers and use a mild, technical detergent.

Does it have an inner lining?

Yes, the Antora features a seam-sealed DryVent 2L construction, providing a protective internal layer.

Can I wear this in the winter?

The Antora is a shell, not an insulated parka. It works great in winter if you layer a fleece or down jacket underneath for warmth.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is attached to the jacket, but it is fully adjustable with cord locks.

What does 'non-PFC DWR' mean?

It means the water-repellent coating is free from perfluorinated chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a specialized technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate the coating.

Condensation building up inside the jacket.

While DryVent is breathable, extreme exertion can outpace this. Try adjusting your layers to avoid overheating or open the front zip slightly for ventilation.

Zipper sticking or not moving smoothly.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it persists, use a dry silicone spray to lubricate the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent wind and waterproof protection in various weather conditions
Highly breathable fabric prevents overheating during physical activity
Environmentally conscious design using recycled materials
Thoughtful adjustability with hood drawcords and elasticated cuffs
Secure zipper closures on all external pockets

Cons

Standard fit may feel baggy if not layered with other clothing
Specific maintenance required to preserve DWR coating
Limited stretch in the polyester shell material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, it is important to follow proper care instructions. The non-PFC DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish will eventually wear off; to maintain its effectiveness, wash the jacket in cold water using a technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent. Always close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to reactivate the water-repellent properties. The standard fit allows you to comfortably wear a fleece or mid-layer underneath during cooler months without feeling restricted.
