FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Antora Rain Parka is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. It offers limited insulation and is best suited for moderate temperatures. For extreme cold, layering with warmer mid-layers and base layers is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a liquid detergent. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly. Avoid bleach and ironing.

What does 'non-PFC DWR finish' mean?

This refers to a Durable Water Repellent finish that does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), making it a more environmentally friendly option while still providing water resistance.

Can I adjust the hood?

Yes, the attached hood is adjustable with a drawcord and cord locks, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against wind and rain.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a regular fit and regular length, designed to be true to size. It allows for comfortable layering over other garments.

How do I maintain the waterproofness of the jacket?

Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor gear. Regular washing according to instructions also helps maintain performance.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, ensure it is completely dry, and then apply a DWR treatment spray, following the product's instructions. Ensure zippers are closed and Velcro is fastened before washing to prevent snagging.

Jacket feels less breathable than expected.

Check if the inner lining or shell is dirty or clogged with residue. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure you are not wearing excessively insulating layers underneath that could trap heat and moisture.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Compatibility: The Antora Rain Parka is designed as outerwear and is compatible with layering over various types of clothing, such as t-shirts, fleeces, or light sweaters, depending on the desired warmth.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach.
