Customer Reviews The North Face Venture Jacket

I wish the jacket came in more colors for the larger sizes.

I got this jacket for my daughter and she has gotten lots of comments on it! She says it fits great and she loves how she can stay dry in the rain but still look cute. The one thing she said she is not used to/weird is the hood sticks out a bit but it is still fairly new.

Everyday all weather coat. Great for casual work wear.

It is a good rain jacket. It is a good fit just a little tight on the hips. This only applied for people with larger hips. Besides that is a good light weight rain jacket.

I bought this for my mom for her birthday and she loved it! She looked so great in it that I decided to get one for myself too!

Very well made. It is my first North Face purchase but it won't be my last!

I use this jacket in fair weather while I'm walking back and forth from work. If it's slightly raining or windy the jacket is perfect although I feel it's not really made to keep you warm. It's a very nice looking jacket made for like fall like weather and outside activities such as hiking or bike riding.

This is a nice, lightweight rain jacket. Dries quickly, true to size with room to layer underneath. It was somewhat breathable, but still left me a bit sticky following a 1/2 mile walk to work.

I bought this jacket for me because I loved the colors and was buying one for my son. The jacket was tapered at the hips and fit a little snug which I really didn't like. I ended up exchanging it for the Bakossi instead.

I just wish the product was a thicker material

I use the jacket for mostly rain/wind wear. It is very lightweight and easy to layer under. Not very warm by itself. Works with casual looks as well.

Great for rainy days.

I ordered one in Garnet Purple Heather for my daughter, and one in Cool Blue Heather for myself. Both fit true to size in the torso. However, the sleeves are a little long. Not so much to be a deal breaker. The outer shell of the jackets are well sewn. I agree with some of the other reviews about the pockets. The durability of the mesh remains to be seen. The Cool Blue Heather color is true as pictured. The Garnet Purple Heather was not. It appeared to be a shade of lilac on the web site. This shade of purple is actually much darker... I would describe it as more "grape". My daughter liked the darker shade so this was not a reason to return for us. But if you're looking for a pastel color jacket, this would not fit that bill.

I use this while I am walking dogs at work and it keeps me dry!! I also look forward to using it as a winter overcoat with my fleece to keep me warm and dry!

Great rain jacket, comfortable to wear

A little thin, but great for a fall/rainy day!

I love this jacket because it is lightweight, and comfortable. It is a little baggy on me, but I prefer that fit so I can wear a fleece under it. Its also nice for it to be a little loose because it allows great air flow when the pit zips are open. I have yet to use it in the rain, but I am excited to use it un the rain. I also love the color choices. NorthFace you did a great job designing this jacket. I am going to Seattle next summer and this jacket is just what I need for all the hiking and camping I plan on doing.

Really nice looking jacket. I will wear it all year!

It's great as a rain jacket, but not as breathable as promised. Gross in humid weather.

Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, can't wait for a little rain to see its function. Disappointed in the colour though, the one shown online is a much lighter colour then the one I recieved.

I bought this jacket in the sea foam green color and absolutely love it. One thing to note, I have owned other North Face jackets also in a size medium and it seems as though this jacket is made slightly bigger but once on it fits well and works well over my puffa jacket. I have yet to wear this jacket in the rain so can't yet comment on its functionality.

This jacket is nice for when it rains because it is waterproof and lightweight. However it does not ventilate very well and it's not the comfiest jacket north face has.

Will use it on a trip to Ireland

I bought this jacket for the fall and I'm so ready to wear it!! I tried it on and it fits nicely and I plan on buying more! Wish it would come in all pink though.

Love everything about this jacket except the color selection. I'm not a manly-girl by any stretch of the imagination but I would appreciate more color options that were not so specifically girl-oriented. Especially for an outerwear jacket, I prefer something neutral colored; however, this color palate is almost exclusively bright or pastel feminine colors. The one really nice more gender neutral option with some color sold out almost immediately - so, North Face, take that as an indication that just because I'm buying a female jacket does not mean I want to only choose from pinks, purples, and pastels!
