Another Quality Product From North Face - This is a quality jacket but what else did you expect from North Face. It is lightweight and very packable. This is definitely a must have product for the Spring and Summer. I highly recommend this product.

Great jacket! This is one of my favorite jackets; it is lightweight and repels the rain like crazy. I have two of them and one is always in my pack.

Great waterproof jacket - This rain jacket is one of many North Face products I own. Although the name is overly commercialized at the moment, they make excellent garments. I wore it on a couple of heavy rain days and it stood up very well. It is light enough to wear on a warmer day or as a waterproof outer layer on a cooler day. I plan on taking it to Florida for a vacation. Another great product from North Face.

A great father's day present - I bought the North Face Venture jacket for my husband for Father's day. He is a golfer and this is a lightweight, waterproof jacket that is perfect to keep in his golf bag if it starts raining while out playing 18 holes. He can put it on and continue playing. It is a very nice looking jacket. I bought it in the Khaki color. If a product has the North Face name on it - you know it's high quality.

Lightweight and breathable - It's hard to find rain protection that doesn't trap body heat. This one is highly breathable. The fit is great for layering. Very comfortable and a great look.

The Multitasker - The North Face delivers yet again. This jacket functions not only as a solid rain jacket, but also as a decent wind stopper. It has two pit vents that really help when things get too hot, it has a waterproof shell which holds up exceptionally well during downpours and the breathable fabric gets rid of that clammy feeling. The jacket looks good and has an everyday appearance and can be worn virtually with anything. This is a must have for the multitasker.

Great jacket - This jacket is great. I got it for my 13 year old son to travel with but he wears it all the time.

Excellent service! Quick delivery... My only complaint is that the company does not make a woman's version so my wife can't order one for herself. It is lightweight and easy to pack. Great warm weather wind and rain protection...

Outstanding! After returning numerous rain jackets from other retailers, I purchased the Alloy Grey Venture. The color is exactly what the picture showed (unlike other places!). Plus, Zappos upgraded my shipping to overnight delivery for free! As for the features of the jacket, it's fantastic. I just used it over the weekend in 70 heat to see if I would sweat and I did, but very little. The venting with the pit zips let out a lot of heat. Still haven't used it in the rain, but I did stick my arm under the sink to see the effectiveness of the HyVent system and it worked great. Fits true to size. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with Zappos and the jacket itself. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a great rain jacket from a great retailer.

I bought my first pair of Sensi Regatta sandals in Florida three years ago. I bought them at a surf shop while vacationing. I can tell you that nothing will out last these “bullet proof” sandals. What I really like about them is that they have these unique channels that allow water to run right through the sandal without flooding the sandal itself. I’m not sure what the channels were for but they were probably meant for ventilating the bottom of the feet. -But it works great for both purposes. I am over 6’ tall and weight over 250 lbs. I have been hard on sandals and water proof thongs all my life but these have outlasted anything that I've tried.

Run a bit small. These seem to run one size small. Feel great though.

It only lasted for about 6 months. They should have used a solid piece of plastic for the sole intead of two thin pieces stitched together, the upper piece is already torn apart in the pair I bought less than 6 months ago.

Made the bottom of my feet hurt. Birkenstocks are the best sandals your money can buy. Worth every penny.

Form and Function Good Fit - Although I ordered a size larger (because European standards), my pair still ran smaller. Order 1.5 to 2x your size. Otherwise, great sandals. I use them as pool sandals.

Don't be fooled - This is a shower shoe, not a sandal. It's all rubber or plastic. It was a bad purchase on my part. If you wear a size 12 don't buy the size 11/12 buy a 13. If you have sensitive feet be careful, I experienced discomfort on the balls of my feet.

Gotta have Regatta - I buy these sandals for my husband. He absolutely loves them. We live in the south and he wears them everyday. They last well and have a comfortable feel. The feature he likes the most is that he can wear them in water and sand as it flows through the sandal's holes.

Sensi Regatta Ice--a Solid Sandal These sandals are quite comfortable on the soles of your feet for around-the-pool walking. But, for longer walks, the soles, and straps are not comfortable. In fact, one strap chafed the top of my foot, making it uncomfortable to wear the sandals while walking. Once I got used to the sandals, they were fine. As for appearance, I am quite pleased with how they look. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and definitely needed the 11/12 in this sandal. I originally tried the 10s and they were too small.
