Customer Reviews The North Face Venture 2 Jacket

Very light weight and looks great on! I bought it to have a waterproof windproof layer for snowboarding and it has worked great! Can't wait to get more use out of it in the years to come.

Love this, bit smaller than the rest of my "L" items from TNF but it's a great jacket to protect from elements but still breathable and light.

I was looking for a light jacket for light/medium rainfall / hikes with the doggie. This one does the trick! The first thing i noticed how gorgeous the turquoise color was, I was kind of tired of all black jackets; the color is the first thing people complimented on it. But of course only the user who is wearing it knows how good protects from the elements. I found a bit difficult to pack it on its own side bag, so i decided to carry just folded on itself so far, since it is light it does not requires lots of space. I can wear a light sweater or polar fleece layer under it with no problem at all if needed a bit more warmth. To me, the "fabric" seems a bit noisy but nothing out of the ordinary with this kind of materials. Got it in Large (usually wear M (10-12 size)) so i can wear something else below if needed.

I'm not joking when I tell you I bought and returned this jacket at least five times. I loved the fit. TNF is honestly the only outdoor company that makes figure flattering clothing (at least figure flattering for me). I wasn't crazy about some of the features or lack of features and I went back and forth between this and a BD jacket. Honestly, I would have kept the BD because it did have better features for climbing, but there was so much extra sleeve material and it didn't fit my waist as well. It was really the sleeves that made me pick TNF. It is always smart to pack a rain jacket when climbing, but chances are I know the weather and can't climb in the rain. So perhaps the features weren't as necessary as they were more perks. However, it would be REALLY AMAZING if the zipper was waterproof and you didn't have a line of Velcro to keep it waterproof. I get Velcro on the sleeves (kind of), but Velcro snags a lot of clothing material these days. I always have to pack Velcro items away from some of my clothing. That would be my dream improvement for this jacket.

I would buy again in another color.

I love how this jacket fits! It is super comfortable and keeps me dry. It can be easily layered with other sweaters for a warmer feel! The only thing I would change would be where the velcro is. The hook part of the velcro is on the side that when it folds over when it is not zipped up picks at the jacket. My entire shoulder is now fuzzy and has pulls from the velcro rubbing against it.

I was looking for a lightweight rain jacket and I liked this one, wish it was a little longer over hips for more protection, but a good jacket.

I wore this Jacket fishing! It rained all morning, from a light rain to an almost heavy rain, and kept me mostly dry, although the coat did get slightly wet/damp on the inside (you could run your hand on the inside and your hand would be slightly wet and you could see a shimmer of wetness) my phone in the pocket was wet, the pockets seemed to be the worst spot for being wet on the inside. It was not wet enough to saturate my Denali 2 hoodie which was always dry. The coat was awesome in the wind, it was very windy out as well and it kept the wind off of me perfectly and helped keep me really warm (fairly chilly day, with gusty winds and rain). The hood fits perfectly over a toque and nicely over my face to keep the raindrops from dripping down inside. I loved this jacket and will certainly continue to wear it, just wish it was a bit more waterproof like they advertise and can handle rain for a lengthy period of time.

The only drawback was that the material is a bit on the stiff side, thus rustles a lot with movement

I use the Venture 2 jacket to protect from the rain/wind. It's easy to pack into the pocket, throw in a backpack and hit the trails. The jacket does a great job protecting from rain and wind. When it gets too warm unzipping the armpits allows great ventilation and cools me down. I prefer the velcro cuffs on the Venture 2 rather than elastic cuffs found on other NF jackets.

This jacket is amazing, the only downside is that the sleeves are a bit long, not that big of a deal though. Looks and feels great!

Feels like a great jacket, but I ordered a small and it's pretty loose, and the sleeves come down to my fingertips. Order down at least 1 size. I'm 5' 3", 126# athletic build, for reference.

Love the color, love that I can fit a sweater under it, but this is still too large. Granted I'm a petite 5 foot tall, 100lbs woman but I still feel the sizes are inadequate. Maybe offer the jacket in petite sizes like you do for plus sizes.

I bought this jacket to use in college. It stows away which is nice but it is a tight fit and will become wrinkled. I would definitely say this is a traditional fit, not women's cut. Overall very waterproof and well made

Tried this jacket on at the north face store but they didn't have the color I wanted in my size so I ordered online. Got it on sale. Can't wait to use it when we go to South America jingle!

Perfect for hiking/backpacking. I bought a size up for layering.

Use it for hiking.

Love the color and jacket feels comfy and light

It's a great lightweight wind/rainproof jacket. It's a perfect shell.

I wear this as a spring/fall jacket. It's waterproof and wind proof and very lightweight. It's not very warm but it's super breathable

I use this jacket usually while hiking in early morning when it is misty or rainy

I love it!!

It's cute and I love the color. It's also very nice when it's raj

Bought this jacket for an Alaskan cruise. Needed something lightweight and waterproof. Fit the bill perfectly.

Perfect
