I love this raincoat! The inside pockets really come in handy when I don't have my purse and I need a dry spot for my phone. The hood also provides excellent coverage no matter what hair style I have at the time. The only thing I could possibly complain about is the swishy noise the jacket makes from the type of material it is made of.

Wife loved it! I've been shopping at Zappos for all my gifts for 2 years now and my wife and kids are happy I do. Living in a small town in the midwest they make it easy to get what they want.

Excellent quality. Loved the jacket, very waterproof. The color is even better than I expected. Zappos service is excellent.

My daughters (3) have this jacket in white, red and light blue...they all love it as it is the perfect rain jacket for walking around a college campus. The white can show some dirt but they also wash well.

Granddaughter's request for NF Venture was over my usual limit. However, Zappos' price & service were more competitive than local vendors; North Face reliable product & perfect fit for, deserving teen, so the order was placed. It was on my porch in less than 24 hours from placing the order! New motto: Check Zappos first!

This is a perfect windbreaker or rain jacket. It is not lined. Folds up great to pack.

I gave this jacket to a 12 year old for Christmas. Hard to tell, but I think it suited her. Zappos was great--fast, accurate. Will shop with Zappos again.

I absolutely love this jacket! I needed to buy some rain protection while I was traveling for 3 weeks in Ireland and London. Since I also am from the Pacific Northwest, I was also looking for something that is 1) really durable and 2) lightweight. I have positive experiences with North Face products in the past, I didn't hesitate with this jacket. It is your simple windbreaker/rain jacket. The pit zips came in very handy especially when I was walking/hiking a lot and was very easy to layer...which I did a lot being in Ireland and London during the fall. I can't say much warmth wise or how it was during the strong winds as I constantly layered during those times, but it worked out wonderfully! Sure it rustles a bit, but really 1) that's what jackets of its type do and 2) if you need to wear this jacket, 90% of those around you are making the same sounds. I have this in black and saw that 90% of the places I was traveling in have the same jacket and color. Which was nice in a way because I try really hard to become like a local when I travel. Fit wise, what everyone says is true, it is boxy to the point it is very unisex. It didn't matter to me but being 5' tall it was big, but so is a lot of stuff. I find the arm length really long but it came in handy to keep my hands warm and dry without using my pockets. The hood was large as well but you can adjust it by using the bungee cord to adjust width and cinch it to your head size. I have used my older version of this jacket everywhere from FL to WA, countries such as Canada to South Korea. Survived torrential down pouring to high winds. Be aware that you should only throw this jacket in the wash if you really have to. After a while (or in my case years) the protection levels will drop due to the washing machine...like all of these types of jackets would. So I just used a damp cloth to wipe it down/clean, which the black color also comes in very handy.

Great jacket.
Not real long. More of a red color than a pink - but cute and comfortable.

This jacket is more red than pink, but that is okay. It was the perfect jacket to take on my recent cruise. Lightweight, easy to pack and it kept me dry!

The jacket is great! It's very lightweight and thin so it's easy to pack. The best thing about it is that it's also windproof! I'm not sure that this is mentioned in the description of the jacket. I wanted a rain jacket and a wind breaker and luckily I got a 2-in-1! It's definitely worth it for the wind protection since it tends to be windy during rainy days. I had to think about it for a year before getting a rain jacket in general. I'm happy, though, and am currently wearing it today since it's raining.

Sent this to my daughter at college and she loves it! They keep her dry running from class to class. These run true to size. They are light weight and easily slides into a backpack.

Love this jacket! I am usually a small, but ordered an xs because of what I read about sleeve length. It fits perfect! It's a non-frumpy rain coat!

Love this jacket. I bought one size larger than normal so I could put a fleece under it on the chilly days. Highly recommend.

This is the perfect little jacket to repel the rain. It is lightweight, but keeps you dry and is great for layering. The armpit vents are also great.

Absolutely love this jacket. Went sea kayaking and it rained the entire first day. This jacket kept me very dry. The last day, we had strong winds (25 knots) and 3 foot waves. I was in the front of a tandem kayak and I was getting soaked. This jacket held up incredibly well under those conditions. I highly recommend this jacket if you\'re looking for something lightweight to keep you dry.
