Customer Reviews The North Face Venture Jacket

I bought this jacket to replace a similarly priced shell I purchased at Muji years ago. It was starting to fall apart, so it was time to get a replacement. This jacket sizing is right, and I love the dark navy color—exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, what I thought was going to be a breathable jacket is turning out to be the opposite. Even when performing light activity, condensation forms in the jacket, leaving my sweaters damp (especially the sleeves.) It's not nearly as bad as with another rainjacket I own (waxed canvas, no breathability whatsoever), but still very disappointing. I'll be looking elsewhere next time I need a high performance garment.
