Don't let it's lightweight design fool you, The Venture Jacket from The North Face is a full-on waterproof, breathable, seam-sealed jacket engineered to withstand wilderness storms, yet styled for every day use.
Nice Rain Jacket!
Light weight and packable. Have only worn in light shower but the rain bounced off like pellets! If it didn't bounce off, it beaded up and I would shake it all off. It did not make me feel clammy like others but the true test will coming in late summer at outdoor sports practices in the hot humid SW MO rain.
Awesome!!
I think This is definitely one of the best northface products. This stuff is light, comfortable, and completely waterproof.
Great jacket
This is a great spring/summer/fall jacket. Its waterproof, blocks the wind and still gives you great range of motion. Recommended for someone who is looking for a thin jacket for 3 seasons (I'm from Chicago).

Great rain jacket
I purchased this jacket for my husband who was looking for a light jacket to wear when he has to stand outside under the rain to watch our son play soccer. He is so pleased with it that now we are considering purchasing one for our son as well.
A must have
This jacket is excellent. I have used it in everything from light drizzles to torrential downpours and it has repelled all that nature's thrown at it so far
great rain coat
nice thin rain jacket, rolls up easily for carry. we took ours into disney on rainy days. the hood is better than a typical hood for keeping rain out since it conforms around the face and has a small bill.
Great Jacket
This is a great waterproof jacket that I have worn for two years without any issue whasoever. It is comfortable and moderates body temperature very well. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another
This jacket is awesome.
I bought this jacket for my boyfriend and he loves it. It fits really well and really keeps him dry without making him hot.
The Perfect Rain Coat
The perfect rain jacket. Great hood, lightweight, and comfortable. Not only is it functional for an array of bad weather, it looks great on. I like it so much, I almost want it to rain more.
VERY VERY GOOD !!
Great jacket but note that that jacket is mostly polyester and the apex aerobic fabric is only on the panels (the gray areas); hence the name hybrid. With that said, the mobility is of the jacket is excellent. The panels are on the front, back and sides give an adequate amount of stretch. I am 5'9" 160 lbs and the jacket fits me well. It's not too loose, but not tight enough where i couldn't wear a fleece under it.
Great Jacket
This jacket looks great on. It is very light weight and easy to pack into a backpack. A medium allowed room for a hoodie underneath for my son (5'9" 150lb).
Great Jacket
I got this jacket in blue for my husband. The color is a beautiful color and he loves the jacket. It is great in the rain and wind. He loves it. I bought a medium and it fits my husband like a true medium. Overall it is a great jacket and I would recommend it to anyone.
great lite jacket
Great lite jacket in the rain.
Light & Handy-dandy
stylish, nice length, lightweight and perfect for everyday wear. this is the best jacket for damp, foggy SF weather. the brown one matches almost anything!
Perfect fit
Very packable, and great for layering in all climates. Now my 16 year old son wants one.
Perfect!!!!!!
I love it. Excellent jacket.very nice color and good looking size.great all weather and good value. the north face made good jacket!!! recommended!!!
Light Weight Waterproof Shell
Great as a spring jacket, perfect for layering with a fleece when cool outside. Excellent pack weight, recommended for anyone who needs protection from the elements. Planning on taking it to some of the dampest regions. The North Face make products we can depend on.
Great all weather jacket, great value.
A very comfortable,good looking all weather wind and rain jacket. The hood fits well and keeps the head and neck dry. It would be nice if the hood rolled up into the collar. The garment is very light and easy to fold up and stow away in a small space.
Nice looking!
Wore it to Mt. Baldy last sunny weekend. Supposed to be a rain jeacket, but put it on to shield wind. Felt ture to size with good length. Nice color and stylish.
Nice rain jacket.
Very light and typical of what you would expect from a North Face product. Altrec also was selling this jacket for $40 cheaper than suggested retail! Thanks.
Great jacket!
I purchased this over a month ago and got the first chance to really test it out this weekend. It was rainy, windy and I had a lot of walking to do. It stood up to the test and kept me dry and surprisingly warmer than expected. This is not an insulated jacket but suits me just fine as I stay warm. Very nice construction, fitted hood and vented to let you breathe. Going to buy my wife one now as well.
Great Jacket
Venture jacket is a great jacket for everyday use, but not when it's super cold outside. I love it. Excellent jacket overall
Nice light rain jacket.
Light jacket, packs easily, looks good and repels rain very well.
Good choice
This is a great rain jacket. Very light, but still very durable.
Amazingly compactable and water tight!
This is a great addition to my backpack!
Light weigh with the visor I expected.
Faster delivery than stated, super jacket, love the visor just what I needed.
Good Value Jacket
I just purchased this jacket from Altrec. I picked the closeout Alder Brown color. I don't normally purchase anything brown, but the pricing was too good to pass up. I was surprised at how well the color won me over. It would look good on the trail and around town. I immediately got to tryout its ability to keep me dry and it excelled. Water beaded up like drops off a ducks back. Pit zips were helpful in regulating heat and you can hardly notice them visually when engaged. While I haven't used it for hiking or camping yet, this seems like a perfect stuffable jacket for those purposes. Some posters have said they don't like the white lining, but I kind of like the white inside lining. I'm guessing the reflective nature of the material, could help in a rescue situation? Velcro on the wrist offers a custom feel and the hood is expremely adjustable. This jacket layers well with light fleece for a super warm and wicking combination. I may use this jacket to ski in the near future and I'm looking forward to stuffing it with my camping / kayak gear this summer.
GREAT
It is above average and a great coat, I would recommened it to anyone. I recently brought it to London with me and it worked perfectly.
MUY RESPIRABLE MUY IMPERMEABLE
REALMENTE COMODA , ESPECIAL PARA VERANOS LLUVIOSOS, RESPIRA MUY BIEN.
Damn nice H2O-proof shell!
I use this shell in conjunction with a fleece vest & long-sleeved shirt, or as a proper waterproof shell when it's snowing or raining. The zipper is easily used when I have my gloves on; ditto for the velcro tabs. A fully functional shell!
Excellent jacket
Very light and performs well. The zipper is high enough to cover up to my nose when fully zipped and you can also adjust the hood for a better fit when it really pours. I definitely recommend this jacket for everyone who likes to be outside. You never know when a freak storm comes.
Blue Northern Killer
I work in a warehouse and when a northern hits the coast in Corpus Christi it gets cold going in and out of a building on a forklift. Only had to wear a lightweight fleece shirt and Tee shirt under the jacket. No wet clammy sweat either "breathes" and no bulk very easy to move in. The shape of the hood works great under a hardhat and keeps the rain out. Normally have to wear 2 or 3 layers of bulky clothes to keep semi warm. Have not tried to dance in it yet...LOL....
perfect jacket
the perfect jacket for everyday use. nice fitting and lightweight. a perfect wind breaker, rain shell. im stoked!
Perfect!
I was looking for a clean, affordable, light-weight shell and this is it! I LOVE IT! Super Jacket for the money.
Perfect for me
I like most everything about this jacket. Though I must agree with a former reviewer that it would be nicer if the lining color was not so starkly white.
What works for me is that 1) It is lightweight. Which makes it easy to carry and easy to pack. 2) It's 3/4 length. The coverage is just what I need. 3) Closures at sleeves and neck make it safe from rain and cold. 4) hood is adjustable 5) color I chose (rust) suits me 6) pockets are deep
Great
I purchased this jacket for my son , he is a freshman in college. I like the jacket because its light enough that he can wear it anywhere and do not have to worry about it taking up a lot of space if he decides to taking it off while hanging out with friends. Cool jacket!
OUTSTANDING
I FIRST PURCHASED THE MATCHING PANTS DURING A TRIP TO MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. FOR A GOLFING TRIP. I FOUND THE PANTS WERE SO GREAT AND DID A GOOD JOB OF KEEPING ME DRY THAT I WENT BACK TO THE LOCAL BASS PRO SHOP TO TRY AND PURCHASE A JACKET, ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE. I THEN VISITED YOUR WEB SIGHT AND FOUND THE JACKET I WAS LOOKING FOR. UPON ORDERING THEM THEY WERE DELIVERED TO ME IN 3 DAYS. NOW I HAVE A COMPLETE LIGHT WEIGHT RAIN SUIT TO USE FOR NOT ONLY GOLFING BUT FOR SPRING AND SUMMER FISHING TRIPS AS WELL. IN FACT, WHEN I RETURN TO OHIO I PLAN TO ORDER A SET FOR BOTH OF MY SONS AND FOR MY 7 GRANDSONS AS WELL. OUTSTANDING VALUE FOR THE COST
It is a great jacket, I wear it all the time
It is really warm for how light weight it is. I like the fact that it can be used as a light jacket and still has the ability to keep you warm in colder conditions. I like the deep pockets too, they keep things from falling out. It is a good investment
great for travel!!!
This is a great Jacket. I travel full time for my job and this jacket is always in the outer pocket of my rollaboard suitcase.
I will order it again for my nephew.
Very satisfied with purchase
Great jacket!!I ordered it for
my son for Christmas. Not
positive it was what he wanted but turned out to be
exactly what he wanted, hard to
get him to take it off for
several hours. Would order
again since the shipping was
so fast and product was perfect.
Best bargain of the season!
Great buy!! Very light and durable. Especially handy where I'm from-South East Asia, where it's currently the monsoon season.Love the stowaway feature!
The North Face waterproof light jacket
The service was great. I received exactly what I ordered with free shipping in just a few days.
Great Jacket
Excellent deal on a great jacket! Not only does it offer protection from the elements, but it does it at a great price!
Perfection
This is a great waterproof jacket for backpacking or adventure travel. Nice and light but still full featured and waterproof. Breathable. All around great jacket not regrets thought I would never stray from goretex but I was wrong. Going to buy the pants next.
Great Value
I have been looking for a while to purchase a good rain jacket and couldn't pass up the discounted price from Altrec. I received the jacket within three days of ordering, even with standard shipping. I wanted the jacket for late summer and fall. It fits well even over a fleece. Now I must wait for rain to give it a real test.
Awesome Jacket!!!!
This jacket has been great to me. It is very light, and handles wind great. The jacket has great pockets, and I enjoy utilizing the light weight hood without feeling any pull. The jacket is great for hiking, sailing, hanging with friends out on a lake, anything!!! It is also great with layers and stylish. A great product all around!!!
Great jacket and awsome shipping!
I ordered the venture jacket and it arrived the next day! The jacket is exactly what I wanted it to be.
Light weight, technically competent, and fashionably classic. The perfect jacket for mild & wet northwest falls, winters and springs!
Good jacket
This is a great jacket, and waterproof as advertised. It's lightweight.
Exactly as Advertised
The sizing was correct. the material performed as represented.
The best things about this jacket are:
1. It totally protects you against the rain.
2. It is completely breathable.
3. It is so lightweight, you can take it anywhere or pack it anywhere(even in it's own pocket...which I have yet to figure out how to do)!!!
4. It has so many pockets and compartments.
5. The velcro closure over the zipper is very practical.
I highly recommend this product and have even purchased another one in black.
This is a typical top quality North Face product.
perfect for flyfishing
great for fishing in questionable weather. Easy to store.
Great jacket
I'm very impressed with this jacket. It fits very well and is very comfortable and when I'm not wearing it, it takes up very little space in my backpack. I would definitely buy another.
Amazing price!
Having searched for an 'affordable' Gore-Tex Paclite shell without success (no where near as affordable as these jackets) I did a little research on North Face HyVent material and decided that it was perfect for my needs. It really does pack down very well and is extremely light. Perfect for overseas travels. As for performance I have still not put it to a real test, but I have read numerous reviews on different sites and have hardly any doubts it will perform very well. I will post a follow up review once I have worn it out in the rain.
Great jacket
It is incredibly versatile highly waterproof jacket that has always performed to my needs.
Scotland, England, Ireland
I bought this jacket at Macy's in New York (for considerably more than Altrec is charging for it) in the Filo Green, and since then have taken it on separate trips to Ireland, England, and Scotland. My father liked it so much he borrowed it on a recent trip to Australia for a month. It has served me fantastically on all three trips I took. It's extremely light and it packs nicely into the pocket (and the little bundle it makes can be squished even tighter). I have no complaints about it keeping me dry. When they say the hood is fully adjustable, they mean it; I have no trouble sizing it so that the hood keeps water out of my face, but does not restrict my vision. There is a built in semi-rigid "bill" along the top edge of the hood that really helps in this regard. The "pit vents" under the arms are fine. I've used them a few times when it was rainy yet quite warm, but most of the time I just don't notice they're there. One thing I love in particular about this jacket are the adjustable cuffs. I am very picky about my cuffs, and I don't like most elastic cuffs as they feel too restrictive for me. This jacket includes a long strip of velcro that lets you size the cuffs exactly to your comfort without any uncomfortable squeezing that you would get with elastic. The jacket is fitted so that you can easily layer up underneath it, but it won't be too loose and baggy if you're just wearing a t-shirt. All in all a terrific value, and recommended to anyone.
these information is really helpful
your service is great..
great jacket
Nothing to compare.
I love it.
Northface Venture Jacket
Absolutely love this jacket. Great fit and well made as always by northface.
not bad for if you plan on not moving
This jacket repels rain well but the moisture will build up if you plan on exercising more than a walk. Durable and lightweight.
Grab this jacket when it rains!!
Great water and wind proof jacket. Lightweight and easy to store away. This jacket makes those unexpected rain showers a lot less annoying!
Great light jacket
This is my favorite backpacking jacket.
The North Face Sets the Standard
I have been a North Face customer for most of my young life and I can almost assure that I will continue to be as long as there is cold and wet weather where my body is. This product is no different. Light and manageable, this product is good for someone on the go in need of staying dry and cool at the same time. And, as always, The North Face provides that much needed comfort and support.
ITS AN EXCELLENT RAIN JACKET!!!
5 STARS!!! its great, it fits well and keeps rain out, although the hat part still gets my face a little wet, its still GREAT!
Just what the doctor ordered
The jacket is lightweight, fits good looks great. Mesh pockets look like they can be used from inside the jacket but they are not sewn on the bottom back side so what ever you put in will fall out. Could have been a versatile feature. Pull cords around the waist are good to keep drafts out, but kept getting caught on the brush during a winter hike, just remember to tuck them in and your good to go.
Excellent jacket - high quality & breathability
The jacket is perfect for the spring/fall rainy conditions. It is lightweight yet will keep you dry.
5
i cant believe the performance of this INCRIDIBLE thing, im confidant and not afraid of what kind of weather i might encounter.... thanks
Extremely Light, Waterproof
Perfect jacket to throw on when its wet... or dry. Its a basic jacket with the bare essentials and fits well.
Great jacket, Great Price, Great Service!!!!!!!!!
This jacket was half the price of other web sites. I thought the color might be goofy but
when I received the jacket the color was great, The jacket will be used over fleece in Chicago winter weather. I showed it to a co-worker and she bought one for her son as well as a pair of Venture pants. phoned in the order with no problem. great deal great service ...........
VERY nice jacket
Exactly as advertised and exactly what you'd expect from The North Face. Well made. Good fit. Everything is just right. The micro dot liner is pretty neat and helps the feel of the jacket.
Great Travel Jacket
Great Travel jacket. Looks good and packs very small. Keeps the water out.
everything I could ask for
great coat for any range of weather, loved the pit zips.
great for travels
I tested this jacket on a trip to rainy Ireland and was 100% pleased. The jacket traveled well for looks, took little space, repelled wind/rain with ease and was comfortable enough for everyday use. The sale price at Altrec was lowest I could find on the 'net.
An excellent value!
Quickly becoming one of my favorite shells. Inexpensive, great fit, excellent NF quality. It has everything you need, nothing you don't. The fabric is just a little noisy compared to TNF suplex shells. Great jacket!
Good Affordable Jacket
Bought this jacket a few weeks ago. So far, I'm very pleased with it. I am 6'1" 185 and I bought the large black. It fits me well. I like that it is lightweight and has pitzips. If you are wanting to use it as a winter shell, I would suggest getting a bigger size to fit a fleece underneath. It's easy to store and looks good too.
Can't go wrong with this!
This is a really nice jacket, it will keep you dry. I have a NF Mountain Light but I find myself using this more. I keep it in my car or backpack. I did not find it noisy. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a really nice light weight all around rain jacket. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I find the under arms a little tight but then I have that problem in most coats. I was a little hesitant to buy at first because I have several other NF jackets but am glad I did.
overall great jacket
This is a overall great jacket especially for the Altrec sale price. It fits extremely well, little on the shorter side but not by much (I'm picky.)This isn't a jacket you can stand out in the rain with but its good for keeping you dry under light to moderate conditions. Anything really bad Id probably throw on a poncho otherwise you'll get wet. Good protection from the wind. Light and transportable. Very Happy!
