Customer Reviews The North Face Venture Jacket

Ordered this jacket on December 28.( free 2 day shipping) and I STILL have not received my jacket. It has been 3 weeks. Ridiculous. Will not be ordering from Zappos again, I would recommend ordering from elsewhere.

It's would be a good jacket if you get a smallef size of what you usually wear.

The lining of my jacket is pealing off. The white layer is shedding everywhere. It is wear the shoulders and neck are, and without the lining, while it isn't waterproof anymore. What a shame. I definitely won't buy it again.

I purchased this jacket last year. I recently started hiking so I use it often. The major issue I have is the inside pockets have a side slit/opening in them. I place my car keys in the pocket unaware of the opening and lost them on a 5-mile hike at night!!! Fortunately someone found them on the path the next day but I had to pay $100 for a new set of keys. What is the function of the side slits?

I bought 2 of these jackets, one for my daughter and one for myself. Unfortunately neither one of us were able to wear it. Too small. Sleeves too long Loved the color the quality and style

Firstly, the lifetime warranty doesn't mean lifetime....it means two years. The lining in my jacket has completely deteriorated, rendering the jacket unusable. This was a known problem a few years back, however they do not honour their "Lifetime" warranty. Don't waste your money.

An expensive product with a "lifetime" warranty. Mine is 8 years old and not had a lot of use. The lining has completely deteriorated, rendering the jacket totally unusable. Having gone through the correct channels for warranty, I am now told that "lifetime = 2 years". Very deceptive advertising, especially at this price point (in Australia we have to pay over $200 AUD). Most of the items in my wardrobe are over two years old and still going strong. My favourite softshell jacket is over 10 years old and looks as good as new (cleary not from The North Face). VERY disappointing with "The North Face" and their "Lifetime" warranty.

I would recommend this if you want a very loud and obnoxious jacket. I was very excited to revive this jacket but beyond disappointed once I tried it on it is the loudest jacket ever. It very long and large at the bottom the sleeves just are way to long. I do however like the color very true to the picture.

Feels like an inside out raincoat. Not comfortable, and runs really small

I purchased this jacket from the website. I looked at the jacket in all available angels and in none of those did I see how paper thin this jacket was. I was relying on the Internet to provide me with a clear and concise description. I returned all the jackets immediately. ......Disappointed

I ordered it to wear as my new rain jacket but it's too small.

this needs to be made in larger sizes. The 3x was a small fit. I used the size finder and it said to order a XL.

Returned it to a North Face store where I could try on a smaller size. Although I had used the size guide to determine right size, I clearly needed the extra small. The guide did not ask about frame size, which made a difference given I have narrow shoulders.

I initially loved this jacket. It's the perfect weight for spring, fall and even winter in North Carolina. However, after a year of wear the interior lining has disintegrated. It is so bad, that I can't even wear it because peices of the lining shed onto my clothes.

Bummed that the product was so thin. I think I can tear it if I tried.

Raincoat.

I thought I was getting a casual, lightweight jacket that would still keep me semi warm. I read tons of reviews on this and they were all awesome! That's why I got it. Not sure what everyone else was thinuking when they ordered this, but it was as thin as a trash bag and sounded like one too. This should.be advertised as a WIND BREAKER because that's literally what it is. Maybe good for hiking in the spring, but definitely not meant for anything else.

it was to thin for the amount of money I paid for it

Don't like it

Very very bad jacket from the north face I will never buy any north face stuff anymore

Mine isn't a rain jacket- it's a wind breaker. Have had it for little under a year and has never protected me from any rain (drizzle or otherwise). It's not breathable (except for the fact that water breathes through it I guess) so if I wear it in the rain I am twice as wet- rain and sweat. This was my first North Face jacket- my parents scrimped to buy it for me- and I am so disappointed in the quality. I will be sticking to my Land's End raincoat.

I needed a lightweight waterproof jacket to throw on for those misty New England days when I take the dog out for a walk. This jacket was quite baggy for an XS, not a flattering cut and the sleeves were very large/wide. I returned it because it just doesn't have a flattering shape and is not as tailored as in the photo.

I ordered this jacket in heather purple, when I received it it was not like the color in the picture. Then I called customer service and they didn't do NOTHING. They said I could send it back but I would have to pay for postage.

The "high rise grey" is pictured as being a darker slate or charcoal color, however it is very light, almost a white grey. Also some of the jacket have a stretch-waterproof light weight feel and some of the colors are stiff made out of thicker materials. When I contacted North face customer service because the jacket I ordered looked nothing like the picture online they would not expedite another jacket so I could have one for my travels.

I'm returning it. It was not what I expected at all.
