Customer Reviews The North Face Venture 2 Jacket

Will have to return. I ordered an XL and it fits like a L. Can't believe I have to order an XXL.

The product is great. I was looking for a jacket that could protect from the wind and rain at a good price and this product did not fail. I run 20+ miles a week and bike a decent amount too. Certainly I don't think this jacket was built necessarily for those activities but it is breathable enough for long runs, and can protect from the elements in long bike rides too.

It's a great add-on and extremely easy to layer on with other clothes underneath if you get a bigger size! It's extremely light, almost paper-like so you don't have to worry about the weight.

I wear it to work out.

I wear this jacket over another North Face jacket when it's super cold, windy, and or wet/raining outside. It definitely suits the purpose for buying this jacket. My only complaint it that it's not very stylish. I did not care for the colors it was offered in, so I got black. At least it goes with everything. When I was shopping for jackets a few months back, there was not much selection at North Face. Many styles and colors were not available in my size, so this was definitely a purchase out of desperation.

I thought I could use this jacket for a running jacket when it was cold but it is way too hot and makes me sweat like crazy, even in the cold temps. That is probably my fault for not knowing that about a waterproof jacket. Otherwise, it's a nice lightweight jacket and has some nice feature, like the adjustable bands around the wrists.

Needed a light weight jacket for the spring.

The color and the quality is there but the fit is a little too small.

Spring or fall coverup. Really love the design and style.

This is great to keep in my bag in case I need an extra layer or if there is drizzle or light rain. Love the color.

Great for farm...need one for city use now.

Very cute and stylish!

My daughter wears it when she is out n about

It's waterproof and windproof, the size is a little big. Chart said I was Large (I am usually Small), yet I followed the size recommendation. What I do is wear the other 2 layers and it fits perfect. It's also durable against rock falls, from my experience haha.

Love this jacket, it is a great lightweight hiking jacket that fits perfectly in my pack.

Very thin but gets the job done. Great for workouts when it's a bit brisk out. Maroon purple is a lovely color.

Lightweight, packable and bright.

This is a good light rain jacket that doesn't wrinkle much and it very compact

It's perfect to wear on a warm rainy day

I purchased this jacket to use when traveling. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to store the jacket in its “packable” pocket. I am comparing this feature to the North Face Thermoball jacket that can be quickly and easily packed. Overall, this is still a good quality rain jacket. The armpit zippers do help reduce body heat when the outside temperature is warm, but wearing a jacket is necessary for protection from rain.

love the lines of this jacket; however had to return due to length of sleeves too long for me

The reason I’m returning this jacket is it’s a little short on me. I ordered a S and the jacket fit well everywhere but the length. I’ll keep shopping with Zappo and find another.

Be aware that the blue wing teal color is actually navy--NOT teal!

Not as warm as I thought - if you're looking for a warm jacket, pick a different one. The material also seems to get dirty easily and not clean off as readily as I'd thought (but maybe I didn't try the right things to get the ink/dirt off). Backstory: I really wanted a North Face jacket after seeing a friend's that had lasted her eight years (including a trip to Ireland) and was in perfect condition minus a tear in an inner pocket that you would never have noticed if she hadn't pointed it out. I asked for a North Face jacket as a gift, and we went with the cheapest "starter" North Face Jacket, not the warm $300 version my friend showed me that I fell in love with. Were I to do it again, I'd go for the jacket I wanted, so that it would be warm, and probably try to find something I liked in an outlet.

Everyday lightweight jacket to go to and from
