Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult women seeking reliable rain protection. The North Face Antora Waterproof Hooded Jacket offers a long, hooded design with zip fastening, providing excellent defense against the elements. Its primary caveat is that it's a shell jacket, meaning it doesn't offer built-in insulation and is best layered for warmth. Key features include its 100% polyester construction, integral hood, and durable waterproof finish.

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is best suited for moderate to heavy rain and windy conditions. It functions as a waterproof shell, providing protection from the elements but no inherent warmth.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, you can wear it in cold weather by layering appropriate insulating clothing underneath. It is designed to be a waterproof outer layer.

How do I clean the jacket?

Please refer to the care label. Generally, machine wash cold with a liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

What does 'integral hood' mean?

An integral hood is a hood that is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be removed.

Is this jacket suitable for hiking?

Yes, it is suitable for hiking, especially in wet or windy conditions. Its waterproof and windproof features help keep you comfortable on the trail.

What are the care instructions for maintaining waterproofing?

Regular washing with appropriate detergents and occasional reapplication of a DWR finish (following product instructions) will help maintain the jacket's waterproof capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.

Hood adjustment is loose.

Check for any drawstring toggles or Velcro closures on the hood and tighten them as needed.

Jacket feels damp inside despite being dry outside.

Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening the main zipper or pit zips (if applicable). The fabric might be saturated if the waterproof treatment has failed, or it may indicate a breach in the waterproofing.
