The North Face Antora Jacket - Grey

No, the Antora Jacket is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It does not provide insulation. For cold weather, it's recommended to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath.

DryVent™ is The North Face's proprietary waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology. It features a polyurethane (PU) coating that repels water from the outside while allowing water vapor from perspiration to escape from the inside, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Yes, the jacket is machine washable. However, use a technical detergent designed for waterproof outdoor gear or a mild liquid detergent. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh stain removers.

No, the hood on the Antora Jacket is integrated into the design. It is adjustable with an elastic band to provide continuous protection and a customizable fit, but it cannot be detached.

'100% recycled nylon' indicates that the fabric is made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, reducing environmental impact. 'Ripstop' refers to a weaving technique that makes the fabric highly resistant to tearing and ripping, enhancing its durability for outdoor use.

After washing, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. The heat helps to reactivate the existing DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If this doesn't fully restore repellency, you can apply a new DWR treatment (available as sprays or wash-in products) following the product's instructions.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Machine wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate DWR. If this doesn't work, consider applying a new DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor gear.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. If it still sticks, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) to the teeth.

While the jacket fabric is waterproof, water can sometimes seep through zipper seams under extreme pressure or if zippers are not fully closed. Ensure pockets are completely zipped up. For electronics or highly sensitive items, use an additional waterproof pouch inside the pockets.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath. The DryVent™ technology is breathable, but wearing too many heavy or non-breathable layers can trap moisture. Adjust your layering system and utilize the main zipper for ventilation if possible.
