Customer Reviews The North Face Venture 2 Jacket

This item was way too small for me. I don't think I'm that far off from the size I ordered. I'd suggest that North Face review its dimensions.

This jacket needs to be longer in length. Pretty light weight jacket if that's what you want.

Great jacket but wrong shade of yellow. Easy return.

I'm happy with the jacket overall, but it's more of a lightweight spring jacket. In fact, it's a great fit but was really too lightweight for my purposes, and I didn't find that the jacket stayed waterproof for long despite the fact that I'd be outside for the rest of the day. Great color and fit, but I was looking for something more heavy-duty. The shipping is quite fast and the product was well packaged.

Love the style, I had originally ordered a large which was way to big through the shoulders/bust. Exchanged for a medium and that was perfect, except the length is just too short for my liking. It rode higher than a fleece underneath. I was looking to use it for layering.

The sleeves were too bulky and unflattering for me.

I have the Resolve jacket which I bought in a large so I could wear it comfortably over sweaters and I love it. The Resolve jacket is truly perfect. Wanting a more form fitting jacket for when I was wearing a t-shirt or tank underneath, I bought the Venture in a medium. Both jackets fit perfectly for the purpose in which I bought them. The problem is the Venture feels like I'm wearing a plastic bag. It's quite warm (which will admittedly be nice in cooler temps), and if it were not for the armpit zipper vents I would have felt like I was suffocating wearing it. The fit is great and it's a super cute jacket on, but the interior really needs a better feeling material for it to be comfortable like the Resolve jacket is.

I have been looking for a rain jacket for months, after searching and searching I finally decided upon this jacket. I am 5'8 and 135 pounds. Normally, a medium would have been perfect because it would be plenty long for my arms and torso. Sadly, this was not the case. The medium ended up being too wide around the midsection and the arms were far too long. I am reordering this in a small with hopes it will fit

Stylish. Waterproof and nice but a little thin material. Not warm.

Not bad kind of stiff needs to be broken in a little to be a little more comfortable.

I wish the fabric was softer and didn't make crinkly noises like a potato chip bag when you move! I have another northface rain jacket that is much softer

I bought my jacket to wear hiking, walking and snow shoeing in Alberta during the fall & winter months. I'm finding the inside of the jacket is dripping wet but it's not raining or snowing. What's going on? my body heat is getting trapped in the jacket, turning into moisture & dripping out. What crazy technology is this? Is this supposed to happen? I'm ready to return it. Would NOT recommend it.

The jacket was what I expected with one big difference. The color was significantly lighter than what it looked like in the photo. I ordered the "Oatmeal Heather" color. The true color was basically cream.

I expected it to be lined with some type of warm material. It can serve as a windbreaker also but isn't warm at all. It is very thin but I was surprised how well it kept me dry when it was raining.

Bought the jacket for my mom for christmas in a different style. Had her try this style on at the store n it fit. Ordered it online in the color she wanted and it doesn't fit now it's small on her.

Very disappointed on it's supposed breathability. Not sure what "raised half layer" on the tags was meant to imply, sounds like mesh which it isn't. Had a moderate walk of 5-6 miles and was saturated on inside. Shame as it is a nice light colour for cycling, and probably good at keeping the rain out - tho no rating given on that. I'd take it back, but got it in the States.

too thin

This jacket is tremendous! Great fit and nice color. The only issue is the service at the North Face stores. After you find help, good luck. I needed another size and I was handed a tablet to order it myself. No one works on the sales floor or even tries to help. Too bad, because the North face product is superior.

Love the jacket but wish it wasn't so fitted.

Great rain jacket although, it is very light and not at all warm.

I expected to find a much thicker jacket but when I received it in the mail I was disappointed to find that it was more of a thin rain coat. Nothing wrong with the coat itself I was just not very well informed of what I was purchasing

Returning product. Sleeves were very long and the feel of the jacket was not comfortable.

I like it! I should've gotten the smaller size though.

I sent it back because it wasn't what I wanted but I'm ordering another jacket from here!

I needed a Plus Size jacket for everyday and for activities that is waterproof and breathable but I didn't have a lot of money to spend so this was a good value. The selection of Plus Size active wear is limited in color and styles and is often only offered in Black. Nice to see a variety of styles and colors for my needs.
