I bought a replacement Antora jacket under a warranty claim. I've had my previous Antora jacket for about 2 years and really liked it. I put it to the test in August by wearing it in Iceland's super windy and rainy conditions and it held up pretty well, except on the days where it was pouring rain, I could start to feel the cold and dampness through the jacket. It doesn't seem to repel the rain as well compared to the rain jacket (different brand) that my travel companion was wearing. Also, the heat transfer logo on the front and back were starting to peel off, which is disappointing. Overall, still a very good jacket for everyday use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Antora jacket with the credit I received from the warranty claim on my last TNF rain jacket. The previous jacket was purchased at a similar price point, but had more features. A little disappointing that TNF took away the velcro sleeve cuffs and pit zips, but this jacket does perform well in wet weather. It kept me dry while visiting Norway in the fall and was lightweight enough to stuff in my day pack with little issue. It provides some wind resistance, but isn't warm by any means...not that I expected it to be. The hood provides good coverage and stays in place. The fit is true to size and flattering. My previous jacket's lining had peeled away making it no longer waterproof. Because this jacket has the mesh, I'm hoping this isn't an issue.
I recently purchased this windbreaker, and it exceeded my expectations! The material is lightweight yet durable, perfect for outdoor activities. It provides great wind protection without making me feel overheated. The fit is true to size and allows for comfortable movement. I also love the sleek design-stylish and practical. Overall, it's an excellent value for the price, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable windbreaker!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in South FL and got this javket with a vest for a quick trip to CT and it was the perfect combo! The pocket zipper broke right away (looks like i got a defective one, but NF took care of me). I didnt like that its sold as a warm jacket but this is just a rain jacket.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this jacket for everyday stuff and hiking as well! Performs well, it keeps you warm enough and it's perfect for windy and rainy conditions! The material might give a strange odor, but that's it. Worth buying in my opinion!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I purchased and returned this jacket due to it not quite satisfying my needs. But I was taking a chance. I was looking for a skiing shell for warm, wet weather and wanted to get my hands on a coat that would fit that mold. I've previously used a competitors coat (which is a raincoat) and it was somewhat effective. So I took a chance on this one hoping it was a little more hearty. As soon as I took it out of the package, I knew it was almost identical in basic construction to my current option, so I decided to send it back. Overall feel and fit were great, so I would consider this one in the future should I need a new rain specific jacket.
The Jacket is Perfect, its Very confortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a TNF Venture rain jacket that I used for years until the waterproof lining starting to flake off in dramatic fashion. Sent it to TNF and they gave me a gift card to replace it, and I went with the Antora. Unfortunately, while it seems like a decent jacket, it wasn't to my liking. The style is pretty boxy, didn't like the location of the pockets (and lack of "stow in the pocket" feature that I have had on all prior TNF jackets). Ended up returning this one and getting a Patagonia Torrentshell 3L jacket, and it was exactly what I was looking for. Bummed that TNF's various rain jacket offerings couldn't fit the bill for me, as they are a great brand.
I often get these review requests too soon after purchasing to be able to review the item, but this time I did give the Antora Jacket a pretty good test before reviewing. I think makes my review much more valuable. Recently, we had some cold days here in Florida. One morning I set out specifically to give that jacket a test run. It was raining, in the 40's and quite blustery. I rolled up the hood before heading out so it wouldn't fill up with water. (one concern I had before purchasing is that it didn't have a zippered hood pocket). I walked 2hrs in the rain, cold and wind and came back comfortable and dry, the hood included.
I've been using The North Face Antora Rain Jacket for a few weeks now and I'm seriously impressed. It's lightweight but keeps me completely dry even in heavy rain. The material feels durable yet breathable, so I don't overheat when hiking or walking around town. Plus, it packs easily into my backpack. Definitely one of the best rain jackets I've owned!
