The North Face Women's Antora Rain Jacket
The Antora is the women's rain coat you reach for when the forecast is genuinely bad. It uses a seam-sealed DryVent 2-layer shell in 100% recycled polyester ripstop with a non-PFC DWR finish, and the 2-layer build is the point: it is a sturdier, better-covered jacket than an ultralight shell, with an adjustable three-piece hood that keeps rain out of your face and alpine-style zip hand pockets that hold valuables securely. The longer, roomier cut layers over a fleece without fighting it, so it works for a cold, wet camp weekend as well as a rainy school run. It carries only about 81 reviews so far, so there is a thinner track record to lean on than the 8,000-plus behind the Columbia - the trade for a heavier-duty shell.

An ultralight shell that works fine for a summer shower becomes a cold, clammy, flapping problem on a 45F wet weekend, and there is nothing roomy enough to pull over a fleece.
🏆 How It Compares
The Antora is the heaviest-duty of the three women's jackets in this catalog: $130 versus $91 for the Venture 2 and $70 for the Columbia Arcadia II. Choose it for cold, wet coverage and a roomy cut over a fleece; choose the Venture 2 if you are hiking and want pit-zips and less weight; choose the Columbia if you are buying for several adults.
