Product Information
Full details
The North Face Antora Rain Jacket is designed for adult women who need a reliable, durable outer layer for unpredictable weather conditions. Its key benefit lies in its blend of weather protection and classic fit, ensuring comfort during outdoor activities or daily commutes. While it offers excellent functionality, users should note that as a dedicated rain shell, it does not provide heavy insulation and is best used as part of a layered clothing system in colder temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
Yes, it is designed as a rain jacket to keep you dry in wet, unpredictable weather conditions.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner, and always secure all zippers first.
Does this jacket keep me warm in winter?
The Antora is primarily a shell. For winter use, it should be layered over an insulating mid-layer like a fleece or down jacket.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed to be secure with zippers to keep items dry, but they are not fully submersible.
How do I adjust the hood?
Use the built-in cord locks located on the hood to tighten or loosen the fit around your face.
What is the best way to restore the water repellency?
Regularly cleaning the jacket and tumble drying on low heat often reactivates the DWR coating. If that fails, consider a DWR re-waterproofing spray.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reactivated via tumble drying on low heat or reapplied with a spray-on treatment.
Zipper sticking or difficult to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; use a silicone-based lubricant if the slider remains difficult to operate.
Condensation building up inside
Ensure you are using the correct base layers to wick sweat; the jacket is breathable but functions best when moisture is moved away from the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, ensure the hood cord locks are adjusted to your head size for maximum wind protection. When washing, always use a technical fabric cleaner or mild detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof coatings. It is recommended to zip all pockets and close the main zipper before machine washing on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat, or follow the instructions on the inner garment label to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the moisture-repelling properties of the outer fabric.
