The North Face Antora Rain Trousers - Black

DryVent is a proprietary waterproof, breathable, and windproof technology from The North Face. It uses a multi-layer construction that repels water from the outside while allowing moisture vapor from the inside to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Yes, the Antora Rain Trousers feature unique fabric technology designed to allow air to pass through, helping to regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating during active pursuits like hiking.

While the trousers are waterproof and windproof, they do not offer significant insulation on their own. For cold weather or snow, they should be worn as an outer shell over insulating layers to provide warmth.

These trousers are crafted from recycled nylon ripstop, making them a more environmentally friendly choice while providing durability and weather protection.

The trousers feature an elasticated waistband with an internal drawcord for waist adjustment, and hook-and-loop adjustments at the leg openings to tailor the fit around your ankles and boots.

Machine wash with a mild detergent (avoid fabric softeners), tumble dry on low heat, and re-treat with a DWR product periodically to maintain water repellency. Detailed care instructions are also on the garment's label.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Machine wash the trousers with a DWR-specific cleaner and then apply a DWR re-treatment product (wash-in or spray-on) following the product's instructions to restore water repellency.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath that wick moisture effectively. Adjust the lower-leg zippers slightly if possible to allow for minor ventilation, or consider if the intensity of your activity might be exceeding the fabric's breathability limits for your current layering.

Ensure the lower-leg zippers are fully unzipped before attempting to put on or remove the trousers. If boots are exceptionally large, it might require more careful maneuvering, but the zippers are designed to accommodate most standard hiking boot sizes.
