Product Information

Full details

The North Face Antora DryVent Hooded Jacket is designed for adult women who need reliable, stylish protection during wet-weather outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is the waterproof and breathable DryVent 2L shell, which effectively keeps moisture out while allowing internal airflow. One important caveat to note is that while the regular fit allows for layering, it is not a heavy-duty insulated winter coat and will require additional layers for warmth in freezing temperatures.

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the DryVent 2L construction is inherently wind-resistant, providing an excellent barrier against cold gusts.

Can I wear this in winter?

This is a shell jacket. It will keep you dry in snow, but you must wear warm insulating layers underneath to maintain thermal warmth in freezing temperatures.

What does non-PFC DWR mean?

It means the water-repellent coating does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often considered harmful to the environment.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design to ensure maximum water protection at the neck and head areas.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it in a cool, dry place on a hanger. Avoid leaving it compressed in a bag for extended periods, as this can compress the shell fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR treatment spray, then heat-set it according to the product instructions.

Zipper feels stuck or difficult to operate

Check the track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Use a soft brush to clean out dirt, and ensure no loose threads are interfering with the slider.

  • Adjustable hem ensures a personalized fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Antora jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, you should wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild, technical-friendly detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable membrane and degrade the DWR coating. After washing, tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the nylon shell, consider using a specialized DWR restorer spray to maintain its water-repellent performance. Ensure all zippers are closed before placing the garment in the washing machine to protect the tracks.
