- Description: When the weather turns, we turn to the Antora. With practical design elements inspired by our iconic Mountain Jacket, this highly versatile rain shell sets the new standard for everyday reliability. Engineered for an easy transition from rainy sidewalks to on-trail downpours, it’s built using our fully recycled waterproof, windproof DRYVENT™ fabric. This is town-to-trail coverage at its best, focused on the details that matter most when the clouds roll in. Wear it all day long or pack it just in case—the Antora is always ready.

## Aggregate verdict

A practical lightweight shell for commuting, travel, and ordinary hiking, with convincing wind and rain protection in most owner experiences. The closer fit often needs sizing up for layers, while short sleeves and tight shoulders can trouble taller or longer-limbed wearers. Its main design flaw is the high, rearward pocket placement. Breathability is adequate for casual use but disputed during sustained exertion, and a few leakage and zipper failures temper confidence.
