The North Face Antora Waterproof Hooded Jacket - Blue - XL

The jacket is made from 100% polyester.

No, the hood is integral, meaning it is attached to the jacket.

This jacket provides weather protection but is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

Refer to The North Face's sizing chart and compare it with your body measurements. Pay attention to the jacket's specific measurements if provided, especially for length.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket cold with like colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.

The 'long length' indicates that the jacket extends further down the body than a standard or cropped jacket, offering more coverage.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or debris. Refer to the care instructions for proper washing and drying. For persistent issues, consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-treatment spray suitable for polyester outerwear.

Gently try to clear any fabric caught in the zipper. If the zipper is clean and unobstructed, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oily lubricants that could stain the fabric.

Ensure the hood is fully extended and properly positioned around the head. Check if any drawstrings or adjustments are available and tighten them for a more secure fit.
