Customer Reviews The North Face Venture Jacket

100% not waterproof. I got very very wet & cold when we went to disneyland last dec. The weather that time is not too cold & cloudy so i choose to wear that jacket, but it rains after few hours & i can feel the wet jacket in my skin. I loved Thenorthface but not i'm not gonna wear that jacket again when its raining.

I buy The North Face products with the faith that will stand the test of time and avid outdoor use. Unfortunately, this one has not lived up to my expectations. I've had this jacket for under two years. I used it halfway through the summer of 2013, all of the summer of 2014, and once this past weekend. This weekend was the last time. I was camping, and around 6 am, it began to rain so we woke up and started to tear the tent down. Halfway through, it began POURING. I can have my tent down within 10 minutes, so it was only pouring for about five of them. I got in the car, and realized that I was entirely soaked beneath my raincoat, and my cell phone, which had been in my pocket, was soaked as well. Fortunately, it didn't get damaged.

Bought it for backpacking. First trip out it a steady light rain, it did not keep me dry. Came back to the description to make sure i had purchased something "waterproof" - and that's what it says. It's cute and fits great but staying dry is #1 priority.

I bought my jacket around 4 years ago. It is NOT waterproof! Which blow my mind seeing as it is advertised as waterproof 'jacket is designed to protect you from rain.' Since it was peeling, I went to trusty REI where I originally purchased it, and since it was before they changed their policy, they said they'd let me get a brand new one. I went to go grab one and was so disappointed to find out that the style had changed. The elastic on the bottom of the jacket is different, its more fitted, and theres no elastic at the wrist? What the heck? The only change I can understand is making them more fitted, not to say that I like the change, I do not, but I understand it. I DONT understand why they would take away the elastic in the wrist? Or change the elastic at the bottom? I'm very disappointed in the changes that were made, that it literally is falling apart after only 4 years of gentle use, and the fact that it is not actually waterproof. I don't see myself purchasing north face products again.

product was not as described. I did not know the jacket was very thin, and not worth $99.00. I still love north face but this jacket was a waste of my time

NOT what i expected. Its a cute jacket but it is not the best quality for the price. It seems much more thicker in the picture.

I was not happy with this jacket, I actually sent it back for a refund. Wouldn't suggest this product to anybody. It was very junky, and felt like paper mache!!!

I sent that jacket to returns over a week ago n still haven't got my money back on my card

Material felt and looked like cheap umbrella Fabric. Over priced. Was not expecting such a lowqquality jacket.

I bought two as Christmas gifts & when received I could not believe how thin of material the product is. I haven't worn it or tried it in the rain myself, and I am really hoping that they are worth the $99 that I spent on them. I think the two people who are receiving them at Christmas are going to be disappointed with asking for them. The picture makes it look A LOT heavier of a material than it actually is.

This jacket is very light weight. So much so it hardly seemed worth the price. Set it back to you. It was way too thin and looked cheap....

I am from the Pacific Northwest and work outdoors. I really count on my wardrobe to keep me dry. This jacket, sadly didn't cut it for me. It leaks at all the seams and I was soaked in no time. Furthermore, it has no elastic in the sleeves which I found annoying as I'm small and am obliged to deal with velcro every time I put it on or take it off. Intending to return it.

They are a newer slimmer fit, and no longer have sleeves with elastic cuffs so they hang down halfway down my hand and rub as Im walking, Its really annoying. Don't ever change a best seller, there is a reason why people like it.

I've had the jacket for a couple of years. I live in New England so the jacket only gets use about 6 months a year. The lining is shot, flaking everywhere. I am so disappointed because I loved this jacket. $100 is a lot for a rain jacket and North Face has such a great reputation. Maybe Patagonia?

Bought as christmas gift. Too thin. No lining. Quality not expected.

Our daughter had looked at the Northface website and asked for a Venture Jacket for Christmas so I purchased one online for her. When it arrived I was disappointed with how flimsy/thin the material was for the price paid. If I had seen this in the store I would never have thought it was worth the price. I'd recommend you look at this in the store before you buy this.

I Wasn't happy with the jacket Ithough it was line . IT FEELS LIKE PAPER. noisie

Extremely disappointed. Ordered the grey one with pink lining, but when I got my jacket today, it's ALL grey. there's no pink whatsoever in this jacket. Now I have to pay for shipping to return this stupid item. Don't order from this website. If you can buy it at a retailer store it would be better since you can actually see the color. Going to call and complain tomorrow.
