The North Face Men's Antora Jacket, Black / XL

Good rain jacket. Repels wind and water, though if you're in a heavy rain for a few hours, it will become water logged. This is a light jacket which is good for fall and spring weather. It's not a cold weather jacket (below 50 degrees) on its own.There is a two-part jacket which has the same outer shell as this. If you need a cold weather jacket then look into that version since this one does not have an interior zipper to attach a second insulated jacket.One downside is no interior pockets. Aside from that, this is well made and I'm happy with the purchase

I bought on sale in my nextdoor outdoors store and intended to use during a trip to Scotland in summer 2022. They only had L size, so I took it a bit bigger for me, but it does very well. Color is light blue and black. I have been using it since summer under many circumstances, as camping, cycling and daily commuting, and many times under heavy rain. I had to fix a tent in the night under stormy rain and to clean up the rain drainers on my street using this jacket and it fitted the job perfectly. I was dry and no sweating. Just a few down sides for such a strong jacket under rain: 1) raindrops slide from the jacket to my trousers - on the sides, and can make them wet on my hips. (I suggest to add a flipped piece of jacket under the jacket down part to unflip it and ... MoreI bought on sale in my nextdoor outdoors store and intended to use during a trip to Scotland in summer 2022.

I had to fix a tent in the night under stormy rain and to clean up the rain drainers on my street using this jacket and it fitted the job perfectly. I was dry and no sweating. Just a few down sides for such a strong jacket under rain: 1) raindrops slide from the jacket to my trousers - on the sides, and can make them wet on my hips. (I suggest to add a flipped piece of jacket under the jacket down part to unflip it and use it when needed, like a parka style. Actually, I am considering to add this option to mine, so the hips are dry under heavy rain; 2) Hood should have a reduction system so it doesn't flop with wind or fall on the face - I put a cap underneath when it's too much rain; 3) Wrists could be with velcro and not simple elastic. Nevertheless, this is a very good jacket and I am very happy with it.

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.
