Key features & specs

How it compares

The Antora Waterproof Breathable Rain Coat offers a more robust feel than ultra-light racing shells, providing better wind protection. Compared to entry-level rubberized raincoats, The North Face Antora provides significantly better moisture vapor transmission (breathability) thanks to the DryVent technology.

How to use it

1. Layer over a recycled polyester fleece for thermal warmth in temperatures below 50°F.
2. Adjust the hem cinch-cord to prevent wind from entering the bottom of the jacket.
3. Utilize the secure-zip hand pockets to keep electronics dry during heavy storms.
4. Ensure the storm flap is fully closed over the zipper to maintain a total waterproof seal.

Sustainability & ethics

The North Face has engineered the Antora using 100% recycled nylon for the shell and 100% recycled polyester for the mesh lining. By diverting plastic from landfills and using PFC-free water-repellent finishes, the brand reduces the chemical footprint of the garment's lifecycle.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Antora Waterproof Breathable Rain Coat worth it?

The Antora Waterproof Breathable Rain Coat is worth it for anyone seeking a durable, multi-purpose jacket backed by a lifetime warranty. Its versatility across seasons adds significant long-term value.

Is this jacket completely animal-free?

Yes, the Antora is 100% vegan, containing no leather, down, wool, or animal-derived dyes. Every component from the zipper pulls to the lining is synthetic or plant-based.

How does the DryVent technology work?

DryVent technology uses a multi-layered formula to allow sweat vapor to escape while blocking liquid water from entering. This prevents the 'trash bag' feeling common in cheap, non-breathable raincoats.

Can I use this for skiing?

While waterproof, the Antora is a shell and lacks the insulation and powder skirt required for dedicated snow sports. It can be used as an outer layer if paired with a heavy mid-layer for warmth.
