I loved the jacket when it arrived. It fit great and really protects from the rain. Also, the free shipping came quickly all the way across the country, and I had no problems with the whole process.
Anonymous - 2009-11-04Great shell!
This jacket fits true to size, and it will keep you dry. I thought it was going to be a little thicker when I ordered it, so keep in mind that this is very thin and not meant to keep you warm- just dry! (which it does!)
T. Mayo - 2009-11-02Nice jacket!
Fits great! True to size. Allows free movement and keeps you dry! A great shell!

Love this jacket, now I need the fleece to go under it!
anonymous - 2009-10-13Excellent rain jacket
It's a very good rain jacket. It's light and packable. Like the cut and color (bittersweet brown). Used it recently in the rain walking from home to bus stop (15 mins walk) and waiting for the bus (10 mins wait). Stayed dry through the whole thing. Will definitively use it as a 3rd layer for next week hike in Mont Tremblant.

The wife has had this for a couple of weeks now and is very happy with it. You could not ask for more in a rain jacket.
Anonymous - 2009-10-04Great Light-weight jacket for the rain
This jacket is very lightweight and breathable. It's perfect for the fall and the spring while in the winter I will need to wear something else underneath it. It also works very well against the rain. I would recommend purchasing this jacket!
LR - 2009-09-29I reach for this jacket first
This is a great, lightweight, packable, and waterproof jacket! I grab it when I have to run out to walk the dogs and I'm taking it to Italy. The fit is true to size and has a little shaping to it that is flattering.
Mary - 2009-09-27I love this jacket!
It's totally lightweight and water resistant -- and you can stuff it in any carrying bag with ease. Love the color, Knight Purple.

Great lightweight spring/fall jacket. Can easily use as a shell during the winter. Comfortable, lightweight, very rainproof!

Great jacket, wore it to Carolina Cup where it was a downpour all day. Lightweight but warm and great for tailgating for football games with a fleece under it, not bulky one bit.
Donnie Robbins - 2009-09-08North Face Jacket
I enjoyed mine so much...I ordered my wife one. Great jacket!
Anonymous - 2009-08-19not hot even in 80 degree weather, true to size fit
The weather for my week in Maine was better than expected (August 8-15, 2009). Still it was great to have a stuffable, good looking rainy day or cooler weather alternative in my backpack for hiking. Now I'm back in Fl and my North Face Venture jacket is washed and ready for it's next adventure. Great jacket which would also be a great gift.

marla boydston - 2009-08-08northface jacket
this is my first northface jacket. My boys are in a lot of outside sports and this will come in very handy.
Lisa - 2009-08-01The perfect jacket
This is my second one. I was heartbroken after I lost the 1st one and went to several stores trying to replace. I found it on your site!! It is lightweight and so comfortable. I like it because of its narrow cut and all the pretty colors. North Face does it again.
Susan - 2009-07-27Just what I wanted
This jacket is light weight, good for rain and wind, lots of colors. I tried 4 or 5 other similar jackets and none fit as well or were as versatile. I think this is a very good value.
Anonymous - 2009-07-16Love this jacket!
This is my second one...I purchased it in orange about six months ago and after wearing it quite a bit (including a trip to Italy & Spain) I decided to leave that one at my beach house and purchase another one for home. Fits great, washes great. Love it!

My jacket arrived very quickly. It is Geisha red in color. Looks great, and it is very light, easy to pack, and comfortable. 100% waterproof, which is great for my Alaska trip.

BAI SOON DEOG - 2009-06-04wonderful !!
My wife said to me ; Oh very good.
She wears every day
Kelsey - 2009-06-01GREAT
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.
Nicole Gunyon - 2009-05-29Awesome 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.

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.

this jacket completely represents the high quality and functionality of The North Face brand.
Rob - 2009-04-27Great 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.
Anonymous 4-14-09 - 2009-04-14Great 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.

Christine Brookins- Smiths, Alabama - 2008-10-13SPECTACULAR 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.
kc in taxachusetts (mccain/palin '08) - 2008-09-08the best rain jacket ever!!!!

Cassie McLaughlin - 2008-09-07Love 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.
Anonymous - 2008-08-27the 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'!
Rosemary Hickman - 2008-08-18Light 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.
Anonymous - 2008-08-17North 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.
LPJ - 2008-08-13Love 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!
OnetheRcok - 2008-08-13Great
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.
NANCY - 2008-07-29great 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,
Anonymous - 2008-07-24Great 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.
Anonymous - 2008-07-22Great!
Came on time and fits perfectly!
Teri from Wisconsin - 2008-07-20A 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.
Anonymous - 2008-05-05Met 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.
Joyce Tam - 2008-04-28Light 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.
Debbie Herold - 2008-04-25FAB 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
Zrinka - 2008-04-21Love 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!!
Gretchen - 2008-04-08Exactly 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.
Anonymous - 2008-04-02love 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.

Linda C - 2008-01-27Nice 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.

Anonymous - 2008-01-05North 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.
Karen Wright - 2008-01-01Exactly 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.
Cindy from Vermont - 2007-12-04A 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!
Anonymous - 2007-11-17Perfect for rainy weather and layering.
This jacket is great for rainy weather and for layering, too. It is a good buy, highly recommended!
Anonymous - 2007-11-13great 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.
A.D. - 2007-11-04The 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 - 2007-10-17Jenny 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!

J. Clyburn - 2007-10-13Great 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!
Melissa from Maryland - 2007-10-06I 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!
