wonderful !!
My wife said to me ; Oh very good.
She wears every day
GREAT
I know of people who have this jacket which is what made me want to get it, and it's great. I got a size small white, and I'm a size 3 jean and medium sweatshirt, so you don't have to be small to get a small. The only thing I would change is I wouldn't get white because I live in Alaska and it gets dirty very very easily. It keeps you dry on a rainy day and isn't too hot for a warm day either. It arrived in 3 days too which is impressive. Well worth the money.
Awesome jacket
This jacket is great in the rain, wind, or just in case. Lightweight and folds small so you don't have to think twice about taking it along. Well worth the money and it looks great.
Great choice!
My jacket arrived quickly and looks great. It's light enough to wear anywhere but still keeps you dry and warm!
Great Jacket for the rainy day
This is one of the many pieces I have from The North Face and again it was a good choice.It's a great jacket for a rainy day.It will keep you dry and warm
Great light weight womens rain jacket!
I bought this rain jacket for my girlfriend and she LOVES it! It is light weight which makes it perfect for hiking and backpacking, and it's also awesome for urban use. I highly recommend the ladies get one.
Excellent Jacket for Spring/Summer/Fall
i bought my Jacket just in time for my trip to Seattle,WA and it has been my most valued possession here. it keeps me warm and dry from the rain, while still allowing ventilation. i would recommend this jacket to anyone that is looking for a good quality purchase.
Perfect rain jacket
I have been searching for a jacket that is ideal for rainy days - this is it! The weight is perfect, not at all bulky. I am very pleased!
TNF rocks
this jacket completely represents the high quality and functionality of The North Face brand.
Great Jacket for Michigan Spring
This is a terrific jacket. I ordered the black one for my wife who loved it. She is a size 2, 5'-2" tall, 108 lbs and the small fit her great. Plus there is room for a sweater or sweatshirt when we go sailing on Lake Michigan.
Great Venture Jacket
This is my second one! I wear them in any weather as it keeps you warm enough when its cold and cool enough to wear on warm but windy days.
Great Jacket
This is a great wet weather jacket. I found it holds up well to the elements. It keeps me warm and dry.
Great for fall
Light and flattering...perfect for a rainy day.
SPECTACULAR RAIN JACKET
This is a GREAT jacket. As soon as I opened it at work everyone loved it. The looks of this jacket sells itself, not to mention it's features. 3 other co-workers have ordered one. A must have for rainy weather plus it is warm and lightweight.
the best rain jacket ever!!!!
kept me super-dry in hurricane style rain. great color (kelpie green)
awesome jacket!
kept me dry during the recent hurricane!
Love it, well worth the purchase.
I love this coat. I am overseas and the weather is so unpredictable, but I can stuff the jacket anywhere. It barely takes up any room and can be worn with everything.
the best jacket ever
This jacket is the perfect 100% waterproof outer shell. It can be worn as just a superlight jacket or with a fleece underneath. It also folds up very small so it is easy to carry around with you, which I do most of the time 'just in case'!
Light Weight Jacket
This jacket fits me nicely. If you want to layer heavy under this jacket, I would order up a size. I like the hidden hood adjustments because I hate strings hanging every wear.
North Face Womens Venture Jacket
It arrived super fast! It is so lightweight that I roll it up and put it in my purse on rainy days. I ordered the brazilian nut green that looks slightly more brown than on the website. Perfect jacket for weather surprises.
Love it!
i live in ireland where it is no exaggeration to say it rains every day (and that is just the summer!)- this jacket is getting quite a workout and hasn't failed me yet!
Great
The jacket is great for those rainy yet warm summer days here on the Rock. However, always get a size smaller than you normally would.
great lightweight rain jacket
great lightweight jacket for rainy weather,easy to take anywhere, folds up small and packs easily; can also wear over fleece jackets for colder weather and attached hood is great coverage,
Great jacket
I recently perchused this jacket to wear while hiking in mt. rainier and it worked out perfectly. It was about 40-60 degrees and the jacket kept me comfortable both climbing the mountain and chilling outside. I usually vary between a small and a medium in north face jackets, but a small fit perfectly. (I'm 5'5 and 125). Overall I really pleased.
Great!
Came on time and fits perfectly!
A great jacket!
I bought this for my daughter to take to college and she loved it! It fits great, is light weight, and will work well for a rain jacket. The only thing I didn't like is the color (white) because it does show dirt, but that was her choice.
Met my expectations.
This jacket is exactly as I hoped it would be. Lightweight, definitely waterproof, great hood coverage, ample room for layering, and I love the color. Service from Altrec is super, too.
Light weight
Perfect jacket for spring w/rain and breeze. i bought this jacket for my Asia trip and it's small enough to fit into my backpack & it's super light weight! Love it! I immediately bought another one for my daughter.
FAB U LOUS JACKET
I wear this coat every night when I take my dogs for a walk. The color (jewel blue)is easily seen at night and does a great job of keeping out wind and rain. LOVE THIS JACKET
Love it!!!
Great lightweight jacket that's completely wind- and waterproof. I bought it in orange color and love it. Everyone compliments me, even strangers on the street, how great the color is!! Easy to pack in the purse and take on my commute. Worth every penny!!
Exactly what I needed!
I purchased this jacket a few weeks ago, and it's exactly what I wanted. I love the color, style, and hood. My only suggestion is adding another zipper pocket on the front of the jacket, like my other North Face fleece jacket.
love it!
i saw this in the bloomingdales catalog and it was out of stock! searched it on the web and found it here with the bonus of free shipping...can't beat that.
the jacket is really nice and i have received quite a few compliments already.
AWESOME COATS
Love the jacket. Perfect for the rain, snow, or sleet.
Blocks the wind and weather.
My husband and I love our new jackets.
We feel they fit true to the size.
Great Design
Nice, lightweight feel to jacket. Lots of zippers to help keep you dry! Not bulky like many other rain jackets. Worth the splurge.
love it!
Worth every penny! I love this lightweight jacket. I almost want to order every color!!!!!! Perfect for those rainy days or cool summer nights.
Nice and light
Like other reviewers, this jacket runs big. I'm usually a med size. I ordered the small and I am able to wear a TNF fleece jacket comfortably underneath. This is a very light jacket that is waterproof.
the jacket is very nice.
very nice
Great value
My daughter was thrilled with my purchase of this wonderful jacket
North Face Venture Jacket
Awesome jacket! i used it snowboarding in tahoe and the wind protection was great. it does run a little big, even with layers underneath. im 5' 4'' and i could have gone with a small.
Exactly what I expected.
I bought this jacket as a gift for my daughter. It fits true to size and comfortably over her North Face fleece. She's packing both the jacket and fleece for an upcoming trip to Ireland and expects to put the jacket to good use on the trip and as a day-to-day casual waterproof rain jacket year-round.
A great Jacket!
This jacket is so lightweight! It fits well and is still roomy enough for layers underneath if the weather is cool. Definitely a must-have especially for people on the go. It folds down into almost nothing!
Perfect for rainy weather and layering.
This jacket is great for rainy weather and for layering, too. It is a good buy, highly recommended!
great jacket!
very very lightweight, I ordered down a size and it fits like a glove, not a lot of room for layers, great for riding my bike on rainy days.
The North Face Womens Venture Jacket (Rain Jacket)
I like the color I got. I did get a small and I was able to fit a shirt and a sweater under the jacket with some room. I think if your a 34c and up you might find the jacket to be tight. The arm length also stops right at my wrist bone. Like I said I'm not big 5"2 34b 108 and the jacket fits. If you don't like something to fit you perfect you might want to go up a size. I could of got away with a med.
Jenny From San Francisco
i love this jacket i wear it everyday! and it's so small that just fits right into my backpack. but it could be warmer!
Great Jacket-Cute Colors
Perfect light weight jacket for sudden weather changes. I live in Seattle and I won't leave home without it.
Great jacket!
Great jacket for my daughter to wear at college for lightweight rain protection. Had a question concerning size choice and used Live Chat and their advice was very accurate. Thank you!
I love my new Venture Jacket!
I purchased my Venture jacket about three weeks ago to prepare for the upcoming rainy seasons. I've been able to use it once so far because I had to take my 10 month old puppy out for a walk in the rain. The jacket kept me nice and dry and I didn't get too hot in it either, which I really like because most rain jackets make me sweat and this one didn't (we walked 2 miles). I especially like the long brim on the hood to keep the rain from splashing on my glasses. The adjustable velcro, around my wrists, on the sleeves is a bonus too!
Perfect!
Due to the reviews, I chose this jacket to wear as a waterproof shell over my North Face Tamba Kosi down jacket. I wear sometimes medium, sometimes large, and got the large so it would fit over my medium down jacket. It fits like it was made for my jacket and I absolutely LOVE it. Shipping couldn't have been faster, and price was better than anywhere else on the web. Thanks to everyone for all the reviews!
Great jacket and service
I love my new North Face jacket. It fits great and keeps me dry. Although some other reviews said it ran big I found it to fit perfectly. I got a medium and am a size 8.
Also I couldn't believe how quickly I got it. I ordered it on Tue. and recieved it Fri. morning!
Fabulous light weight jacket
I love my jacket because it is so light weight I can roll it up in a ball and have it take up practically no room in my suitcase.
It feels good and looks pretty nice too.
I wish it were just a touch more fitted; I think I may be between a small and extra small, but would rather have it a little big than too small.
I wore it in the rain the other day to test it and I was completely dry inside. In Seattle that is a must.
great fit, great look
classic. everything you would expect from the north face
Excellent
Lightweight, breathable, and totally waterproof. I love how it's a little roomy and has long sleeves so that I can layer it over any fleeces or sweatshirts.
Perfect light raincoat.
As some have said, it does run large....but for good reason. It is a light shell, designed to have the option of layering several items underneath. The advice seems to be to buy a size down, but I am all too weary of doing this since I did the same with a Berghaus jacket once. Yes, getting the size down made it more flattering and fit me better in the chest....but a size down comes with shorter body, and arms - and it barely fitted in those respects. I chose not to make the same mistake this time. Although roomy, it still looks good - and I know that extra room is there should I want to layer up in the winter. TNF put a lot of thought into sizing, so I personally think it bad advice to tell people to purposefully buy the WRONG size.
north face venture jacket
lightweight, great rain jacket. awesome!!
Love it
Practical, warm & light. My only complaint would be I wish it had a hood, but you can't beat this for comfort, durability and warmth.
I loved it
it looked just like the color on the website and it was great and is still in good shape
Mother's Day Gift, Very Happy Mother!
Mom is going on an Alaskan cruise and she needed an update on gear. This was perfect!
Great lightweight jacket for damp rainy days or cool ones
This jacket is comfortable, fits great and is stylish. It is lightweight and packable. Great for trips. Is light to carry all day. Excellent for rain. The hood is oversized for excellent coverage in inclement weather. This jacket is AAA+.
I always leave home with it
This jacket gets so many stares and compliments it's unbelievable. The deep pockets and adjustable hood are wonderful. Very breathable so you can feel comfortable in the nastiest weather. No more rain in your face, if you don't have an umbrella no problem you'll still be dry.
Great gear
This jacket was a gift to my daughter. She is very pleased. This time of the year (winter) you have on heavy coats which sometimes make you sweat. This jacket is lightweight and makes getting around for her very comfortable. This jacket was well within my price range. Not overpriced because of the name.
Great light jacket
I really like the color (brownie) and quality of this jacket! I shopped around for a rain jacket & settled on this one & am very satisfied. It is light & not much for warmth at all, but will be great for the spring/summer rainy days!
Great
Great jacket. Altrec is the best company I've dealt with in a long time!!! Hats off to the great quality of customer service. Keep up the good work.
Jacket is everything description says.
Great as an outer layer in winter. Waterproof yet breathable. I already had one in bright green and was pleased with quick customer service through e-mail, in obtaining a black one even though it was out of stock at the time! Does run slightly larger than size indicates but this is good if you want to layer.
Thankful college student
The jacket is a wonderful investment. I live in hot weather and its even hotter when it rains and this kept me dry and cool at the same time because it wasnt bulky. This is a recomendation for a college kid. light weight and easy to stuff in a bag! the the coolest part is that the water just shakes off and then you can put it in your bag and go!
thanks north face
I love this jacket!!!
This jacket is great, it has all of the features that I was looking for. There isn't a better jacket out there for warm-weather rain storms.
North Face jacket
I love the jacket! It is lightweight and the size is perfect. It got here even faster than I anticipated! Great service!
great jacket.
Water rolls right off of the jacket. Really easy to throw in a bag and take with you since it's not bulky. If you buy your "normal" size then it ends up being a little bit bigger, but you can always fit another layer underneath it, so if it's a chilly day you can still wear it. Only downfall, if you don't unzip some of the vents, it can get kind of warm wearing it, but that just goes to show that no water/wind is getting through, so the jacket is doing its job.
GREAT JACKET
I LOVE THIS JACKET. IT'S SO LIGHT WEIGHT AND GREAT FOR THE WASHINGTON RAIN.
Great fit, truly light-weight, perfect for travel
I'm very pleased with my new rain jacket. Since it's so light weight, it will be perfect for my upcoming visit to Switzerland. The turqoise color is quite flattering and the jacket fits well.
Exactly what I thought!
Wonderful Jacket! Lightweight! Good fit! Prompt delivery! Excellent condition! I only wish in the pictures that the lining and everything would be more visible.. looks great. Runs a little big but that is why I got a small when I normally wear a medium. Thanks Altrec!!
Great
This an extremely light weight jacket and its great for the rain. Its really really thin so you are able to wear it even in those warm windy days.
