FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Antora is a shell jacket and does not have built-in insulation. It is designed to be worn over layers, so it can be used in winter if combined with a fleece or down mid-layer.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent or a dedicated technical outerwear cleaner. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Does the hood detach?
No, the three-piece hood is integrated into the design for better weather protection.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the DryVent fabric is designed to allow water vapor to escape, making it breathable during outdoor activities.
What is the fit like?
It is designed as an adult fit, intended to accommodate mid-layers underneath without being excessively bulky.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment spray to restore the water-beading property.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is often caused by condensation. Ensure you are not overdressing; if you are sweating, remove an inner layer to allow the fabric to breathe more effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the effectiveness of your jacket, adhere to these guidelines:
- Layering: Ensure you wear appropriate moisture-wicking base layers underneath to maximize the breathability of the DryVent membrane.
- Cleaning: The garment is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with a technical fabric cleaner to protect the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane.
- Restoring Repellency: If water stops beading on the surface of the fabric, you may need to apply a technical DWR spray to refresh the water-repellent performance.
