Product Information

Full details

The North Face Antora Hooded Waterproof Windbreaker Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and city dwellers who need a reliable, high-performance rain layer. Crafted from 100% recycled ripstop polyester with DryVent technology, it provides excellent wind and water protection while remaining breathable. A primary caveat is that, as a shell jacket, it offers weather shielding but requires additional layering underneath to provide significant thermal insulation during colder months.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. Always follow the care instructions on the label and use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent.

Can this jacket be used for winter sports?

It serves as an excellent waterproof outer shell, but it is not insulated. You should layer it over thermal base layers or a mid-layer fleece for warmth in winter conditions.

Does the hood detach?

No, the three-piece hood is permanently attached, though it is fully adjustable for a secure fit.

Is the fabric noisy like traditional raincoats?

The recycled ripstop polyester is designed to be lightweight and relatively quiet compared to heavy-duty rubberized raincoats.

What is the fit of this jacket?

The Antora jacket generally features a standard fit that allows room for base layers underneath. It includes adjustable hem and cuffs to fine-tune the fit.

Is the jacket truly windproof?

Yes, the DryVent construction is specifically tested to be windproof, making it effective at blocking cold gusts.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating, or apply a spray-on DWR treatment.

Internal condensation build-up.

While the jacket is breathable, ensure you are not overdressing underneath. If you are exerting yourself, adjust the front zipper to allow for extra ventilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly effective waterproof and windproof capabilities
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during physical activity
  • Uses 100% recycled materials for sustainable durability
  • Adjustable features allow for a tailored, secure fit
  • Lightweight and packable for travel or hiking

Cons

  • Does not provide significant warmth on its own
  • Requires proper maintenance to keep the DWR coating effective
  • No internal chest pockets for specialized storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your jacket requires simple adjustments and routine cleaning. Ensure you tighten the hem cinch-cord and adjust the hood drawcords to create a snug seal against heavy wind and rain.

For care, the jacket is machine washable. To maintain the waterproof properties of the DryVent shell, always use a technical garment detergent rather than harsh household detergents, which can strip the DWR coating. It is recommended to zip all pockets and close the storm flap hook-and-loop closures before washing to prevent snagging. Always tumble dry on low or air dry to help reactivate the water-repellent finish; check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature guidelines.
