Men's Antora Triclimate™ Jacket review

The Men’s Antora Triclimate is not simply the plain Antora rain shell with a warmer label. Style NF0A7UJP is a two-piece package: a waterproof, breathable DRYVENT 2L outer and a separate recycled-polyester fleece liner that attaches with the maker’s Triclimate loops and snaps. That creates a useful choice between the shell alone and the shell with its included fleece, but the added layer changes the outfit’s warmth and bulk—not the outer shell’s construction. If you need three-layer construction, a documented pit-zip opening or a pocket that carries the whole jacket, the available page text does not establish those requirements.

Two rain-relevant arrangements, one included liner

The North Face describes three ways to wear the system. For rain-jacket comparisons, the important distinction is whether the waterproof shell is worn by itself or joined to the fleece. With the liner detached, NF0A7UJP is a shell-only rain arrangement. With the fleece snapped into the shell, the package includes a warmer rain setup. The fleece can be worn as a separate garment, but the manufacturer identifies the outer—not the fleece alone—as the waterproof layer, so this assessment does not count a fleece-only outfit as rain protection. No temperature range or measured warmth value is provided; the name “Triclimate” does not tell you how warm it will feel at a particular pace or in a particular forecast.

The product details list the outer as a 70D × 70D, 109 g/m² DRYVENT 2L body made from 100% recycled nylon ripstop with a non-PFC durable water-repellent finish. The inner is a separate 150D × 100D, 300 g/m², 100% recycled-polyester fleece. Those specifications belong to different pieces. The fleece’s composition does not change the shell’s two-layer rating, and the material mass per square metre is not the finished jacket’s weight. The manufacturer calls the outer waterproof, breathable and seam-sealed, but the reviewed information supplies no numerical water-pressure or breathability result and no independent performance test.

What the fit label and lengths can—and cannot—tell you

The indexed U.S. color page labels the fit Regular. It lists a 29-inch center back for the shell and 26.75 inches for the inner jacket. These are manufacturer garment dimensions, not measurements taken for this review or a guarantee of where the pieces will fall on an individual. Check the current men’s size chart for the exact color and size, and consider the outer both over the clothing you expect to wear and with the liner attached. A maker’s “Regular” label does not promise enough room for every base or midlayer, nor does it establish sleeve, shoulder or hem comfort on a particular body.

Practical details and useful unknowns

The listed outer has an adjustable three-piece hood with an elastic drawcord and cord locks, a center-front zip covered by a hook-and-loop draft flap, secure-zip welt hand pockets, stretch cuffs and an internal elastic hem drawcord. The fleece inner has its own side-entry secure-zip hand pockets and a locker loop at the back of the neckline. The separate pocket layouts may be convenient when changing between the two pieces, but the checked feature text does not say that either pocket is a stuff sack or give a packed size.

Likewise, the page does not list pit zips. That is an unconfirmed feature, not evidence that no production version can ever have an underarm opening. The exact shell finish is described as non-PFC DWR; that wording is narrower than the finder’s specific question about components made without intentionally added PFAS, so it does not satisfy that match. No total garment weight, care instruction, numerical membrane test or recall determination was found in the reviewed exact-style text. I leave these values open rather than importing them from another North Face jacket.

Where this model fits among the Antora options

The useful buying distinction is the complete package, not the shared Antora name. NF0A7UJP is the Antora Triclimate with a separately described snap-in fleece. The plain Antora Jacket NF0A7QEY and Antora Rain Hoodie NF0A7QF3 have different style numbers and separate product records; neither name alone establishes that it includes this liner. Compare the style number on the garment, listing and offer before treating a seller’s generic “Antora” title as the same product. The Triclimate’s recycled-nylon-ripstop shell face is documented on its own page, while the fleece has a different recycled-polyester construction.

Who may prefer it—and what to verify

NF0A7UJP is worth considering if you want a men’s-block 2L rain shell and value an included fleece that can be attached for a warmer arrangement. It also meets the library’s recycled-nylon-ripstop shell-face requirement. If you want a lighter shell-only package with no included fleece, this is not the same assessment as the plain Antora. If you require a three-layer shell, verified pit zips, self-stowing design or the exact qualified PFAS statement, this page does not confirm them. Those limits matter more than the broad “waterproof” label when they are hard requirements for your use.

Before choosing a listing, verify NF0A7UJP, the selected color and size, whether both the shell and fleece are included, and the seller’s condition and return terms. Check the current size chart and the exact product page for care and any feature changes.
