The North Face Women's Venture Jacket

Good quality jacket
April 08, 2012

I like my venture jacket. I got it in an x-large because I wanted it to be roomy and that is exactly what I got. If you are looking for a jacket with a lining this one does not have it but it is great to wear over a sweater or hoodie on those cool rainy days.

great purchase for my daughter
March 30, 2012

several friends of daughter have this jacket and recommended the the jacket, the size was true and fit my daughter very well, my daughter is 5'7". the price was well within the buget and the style fits her well as the consrtuction very durable

Women's Venture Jacket
March 26, 2012

The jacket is nice. We looked at a Nike one as well, and this is much better in look and feel. Plus, it is cheaper. We really like North Face products.

Great quality, but too short
January 19, 2012

The quality and color of this jacket were great. And hooray for the arms of the jacket which fit my long arms! I bought this jacket for doing chores (feeding horses, etc.) and for walking when it is raining. As such I wanted a jacket that was a little roomier/not quite so fitted and also one that was longer in the body for more protection. The jacket was much shorter than I had anticipated. I will be returning the jacket for those reasons, but not because of the quality of the jacket. NDNative

The Best Light Weight Rain "Force Field" Jacket!
January 15, 2012

This jacket is great for athletes who loves to jog or great for anyone who wants a stylist light weight rain jacket. I live in a rainy city with bi-polar weather, so the weather is always changing from day to day. Great jacket for year round activities. I brought a small that's a little loose on me, but I'm able to wear a Windwall 1 Jacket or a sweater underneath to shield myself from the cold during winter. I got the TNF Black and really love the color. Also brought my older and younger brothers one too and they love it! I'm planning to get a few more for myself in different colors!!!

LOVE this Jacket!!!
January 15, 2012

This jacket is AS advertised. Fits great, and is SUPER water-proof! The inside lining of the jacket isn't tacky feeling like alot of rain jackets, so it's VERY confortable! This jacket packs away nicely, very compact. Breathes great, pit zips or not.

Great Company to do business with
January 07, 2012

I was very pleased with my recent purchase. The product shipped on time and the price was better than other sites I looked at. I also like the fact that this company is based in Oregon - try to keep it as local as possible.

Wonderful Jacket!
December 31, 2011

Love love love this jacket! Very comfortable! Keeps me warm even though it is a light jacket. I love the way it fits- not big and slouchy looking but rather slenderizing!

Great Protection Against Rain!
December 26, 2011

This jacket is great against rain and the quality is unmatched. My sister washed my jacket for me when I flew to see her in ATL and she put it in the dryer on HIGH. Needless to say, my jacket withstood the heat and the quality held up. One downside however, is that I tend to overheat in this jacket, which is why the armpit vents are great I guess. I highly recommend this jacket.

Lightweight jacket which packs a punch
December 26, 2011

Lightweight multipurpose jacket that is both waterproof and wind proof. Can't beat the weight and protection. Expect nothing less from The North Face. Highly recommend!

Great Buy
November 28, 2011

I purchased the jacket for my seventeen year old daughter, the color is black, when she opened it she sreamed, she loves it!. So much that I am thinking of ordering one for my self.

Love this jacket!
November 22, 2011

This jacket is great! I live in western Washington where it rains often and i'm always dry in this jacket. However, it may be hard to judge on what size you need. I'am about 5'2'' and 120 lb and i can fit an xs but the small is a little big yet comfortable because i like to wear a sweatshirt under when its cold out.

So far so good
November 15, 2011

This jacket is a little bit overpriced, but still a great one if you want to layer yourself up living in a rainy city. I wore it all day on a rainy day when the shower actually didn't wet me at all, not bad. I love the light yellow color I picked but since that color is a new arrival, there is no discount on that piece at all, which makes it pricy. I also love the zips of pockets, which keeps things inside secured and safe without dropping out. The sizes are good and fit too. And yes, I think I would recommend people to buy it.

Cool and Dry
November 09, 2011

I wanted a rain coat. I wanted it to be casual, yet chic. And I wanted to be able to to wear it throughout the year. While the Venture Jacket is lighter than I thought it would be, it fits great, looks good and keeps me dry - and because it's light, I can layer to keep warm. I can easily wear a vest or fleece underneath to maintain warmth but it's light enough to wear in warm weather. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others. Since I've received my Venture Jacket, I've noticed many others who have the same jacket and like it as well.

Great Buy!
November 09, 2011

I Love this jacket!!! I ordered this for my 11 year old daughter. She wanted a cool raincaot that was not bulky . I ordered the green and it is a beautiful color. Shipping was very fast too!

Awesome!
October 31, 2011

This is a great jacket. It is wind proof. I live in a very windy place, and it helps to block the powerful wind that comes int. It is light weight, so it is not bulky and hard to carry around. I am not sure I like the fit. It seems to be big in in the shoulders, but does not fit in the waist. Also, the pockets on the inside, are not closed all the way. They have a small opening, that things can easily slip through.

excellent purchase!
October 29, 2011

I have a Columbia rain jacket that's ok, but I love my new North Face jacket even more. The hood covers more and stays on, the fit allows for layers underneath, and the color is awesome!! I've gotten a ton of compliments on this jacket. I bought the Daffodil Yellow color and it's great on a rainy day. Love it!!! I'll always stick with North Face, Thanks Altrec!

Great jacket!!
October 28, 2011

Great jacket for pacific northwest weather. Light and comfortable. My daughter is 13 year old but 5' 8" and thin. So, adult size S fits perfectly. We have never had North Face brand so we are looking forward to test and see how it wears and how long it lasts.

its great color
October 18, 2011

north face is famous for great color this jacket is very good color but little bit big for asian if asian choose this cloth need 1 step small its just for early autumn and last spring and inner pocket in not safety for storing

October 18, 2011

Great Jacket, there are 3 of us and we all wear one. They last a long time and are good for adults and teenagers. My youngest does Safety Patrol at school and it is perfect for her. She loves the color too which was a bonus.

Best Jacket Ever!
October 15, 2011

I love this jacket, it is warm, stylish, and durable! I would recommend this for anyone! I love the purple color and the wind resistance is awesome for the cold mid wast weather.

Great rain Jacket!
October 15, 2011

This coat has been wonderful! I go to a college that is very much like the town in the twillight movie it is always raining, I finally wised up and bough a rain jacket. I have been glad I did, not only is the waterproof shell excellent the beautiful green is so pretty it really stands out in a good way : ) It is so lightweight it feels like you're wearing nothing I would recommend this jacket to anyone!

Great Jacket
October 11, 2011

This is a great rain jacket. Of course there is no lining, but if you have a fleece vest or wear a long sleeve shirt or thermal with it you should be good. What I like best about this jacket is, it doesn't "sweat" like most cheap versions I've had and it has the zippers under the arm to vent.

October 08, 2011

This is a great raincoat if you just need something light for fall and spring. The material is very thin, so it won't keep you warm, but if you just need some rain protection, this is perfect. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and delivery was quick.

Great jacket!
October 05, 2011

I got this jacket in octopus blue, size small and I'm 135 pounds and 5 ft tall. It fits perfect! The color is absolutely perfect and the quality of this jacket is high. Highly recommend this jacket to anyone.

October 03, 2011

This jacket is extremely majestic, and withstands any amount of rain. It is good for just about anything, and is actually pretty warm if layered. It is also windproof, which helps a lot. I wear mine pretty must everywhere. If you do not have a layer underneath, it can get a bit plasticy and clingy, but that is to be expected with most rain coats. I wear it hiking a lot because it is very lightweight and vresatile. I got the Octopus Blue, and it is fantastic. It fits true to size, and still has lots of room for layering without looking bulky at all. No real downsides... I highly recommend it!

awsome
October 03, 2011

this pur hase was the best purchase ever. The jacket is very comfortable i love it :) so warm and rain proof. Mine is black and very shiny and fit very good not to tight but not to big its perfect. i think im going to get another one but in diff color. I just love this jacket i wear it everyday especially during the rain .

Cool jacket
October 03, 2011

I like this jacket because the hood can be adjusted, and the sleeves are long. The one thing I don't like is that the mesh lining in the inside gets stuck on the velcro sometimes when I am not wearing the jacket.

great jacket
October 01, 2011

I love The North Face and their products--they are all very durable, great quality, and long lasting. I really love the color of this jacket also. It's really lightweight and I love wearing it, it's very comfortable. I would not wear it in the winter time because it's not made to protect from cold, but it's useful for wearing in the rain.

Love this jacket!
September 30, 2011

I was looking for a rain jacket that is truly waterproof. This one works quite well. It is light, yet I can foresee wearing it in the cooler weather with a sweater underneath. The hood coverage is very good. The pockets have zippers, a must for me! The color is great - I got berry. I read the other reviews for sizing. I ordered a medium, I am 5' 7", 115 lbs. It's a bit roomy, but I have broad shoulders and long arms. I also wanted to be able to layer underneath. It also has the velcro on the sleeves and the hem cinch cord to adjust the fit. I would highly recommend this jacket.

Women's Venture Jacket
September 30, 2011

It fits great. True to size. I Love the colors, I had a hard time making a choice. It's light and it does not make that loud swishing noise when you wear it. Altrec had the best price. They carry great products. I would buy from Altrec again.

Like the fit, but a little loud
September 27, 2011

I really like my new coat, I like the fit because it is roomy and I can wear a sweater under. The only drawbacks are that the material is kind of loud when you walk and I also wish it was lined.

Great Jacket
September 26, 2011

This jacket comes in a variety of beautiful colors! Not only does the jacket look good, its fits great and does it's job! keeps you very dry in the rain and blocks to wind while not being heavy!! Great buy i would strongly recommend it!

My kids love these!
September 26, 2011

Bought each of my girls a new North Face for school. Live in the Pacific NW where temperatures are moderate but it is quite soggy and damp most of the year. My girls don't like fluffy or heavy coats so these are just perfect to wear most of the months out of the year in Washington weather. Lightweight and water/wind resistant. Purchased the Daffodil yellow (very true to color) and Strawberry red (more like a bright orange-tangerine color). Will be back to purchase more colors in the future.

Excellent product!!
September 19, 2011

I'm absolutely IN LOVE with my new jacket. It was a birthday present to myself and it meets all expectations! The color is vibrant and BEAUTIFUL (I got the dark purple) and I don't look like a grape (yay!). I haven't had a chance to test it in actual rain though it did excellent in the thick fog we get here in Humboldt County. And the wind protection is great on it too! It's light weight and surprisingly very cozy! The only downsides are the arms a little too long (I'm short though!) and it is a little loud... I joke with my classmates that they'll hear me coming down the hall before seeing me! But overall I love it. I want to get another one for jogging in the wet, wintery weather we're going to be getting soon!

A Must-Have for Campus
September 18, 2011

I bought this to replace using an umbrella to walk across my college campus in the rain, and I'm so glad I did. This this is VERY waterproof and windproof, but is very lightweight and breathable. I especially like how I can just roll it up and stick it in a pocket in my backpack so I always have it with me just in case it rains out of nowhere. Wherever this jacket covers, you're dry. I really like how large the hood is and how nicely the jacket fits as a whole; I can wear it as is or I can put on a fleece underneath it when its cold. This jacket is SO much better than fighting with an umbrella when its pouring down rain and you have to hike across campus. North Face never fails. I recommend it for anyone who needs a good rain shell.

September 17, 2011

The jacket works really well so far. I haven't had a chance to test it out in extreme weather, but so far I have been dry. It's expensive, but I'm hoping the durability will make up for the price. Really pretty color.

September 15, 2011

good quality as the north face has always committed! Thanks for altrec to carry this one on the sale price, i think i have got a great deal! Definitely will recommend to a friend!

Great Jacket to Swim In
September 15, 2011

The jacket is terrific. I like the fabric because it's not very noisy like other water-resistant fabrics. The color (berry lacquer) was vibrant and pretty true to what I saw on the screen. It's easy to transport and folds to be quite small. I borrowed a Venture jacket from a friend during a storm and it held up nicely so I decided to order one. I didn't test drive my own jacket because I have to return it. The sizes run a bit larger than I'd like. I'm 110lb, 5'3'' and I ordered a small. There's plenty of room for layers--too much room for me since I don't plan on bundling up for a hike in sub-zero temperatures. I'm exchanging for an XS. BTW, unlike other reviewers, I didn't have much of a problem with the velcro.

Excellent
September 09, 2011

I love this jacket, I have one in black and wear it all the time. Summer, winter, spring, fall. It's always a good fit. I wear a small and can still fit a sweatshirt under the jacket. It was just the wrong color. overall I LOVE these jackets
