Customer Reviews The North Face Venture 2 Jacket

I bought this jacket about a year ago. My husband has one and loves it. I really like how lightweight and packable it is, however water gets through and I get wet whenever I wear it in the rain. I purchased it to use as a raincoat, but it just hasn't performed as I thought that it would. Rain just seeps in through the fabric, especially on the sleeves. Considering the price, I would expect to keep dry in the rain, so I'm disappointed with the purchase. I would recommend it as a windbreaker, but not as a raincoat.

I purchased a medium. It's a bit loose and the sleeves are a bit long. I will most likely be using this jacket over a hoodie (or a long sleeve). It's really thin and almost weightless. It's pretty good for rainy weather but not very useful for windy/chilly weather. I'm not sure what the "best (athletic) uses" are since I've only walked around Chicago.

The inside lining eventually rips and peels. I you want to buy a jacket with a limited life span, be my guest. I liked the jacket, but don't appreciate garments that self destruct.

I liked this for a transitional spring/fall jacket for walking to work and cycling in the pacific north west where the wind and rain are a concern, when my longer rain jacket is overkill. But I would not recommend spending the money on this jacket as the zipper on the pocket has broken within 1 year and it doesn't appear to be covered on the warranty. In fact nothing really seems covered under warranty unless never used or washed. I'll be sticking to arc teryx which has a lifetime warranty.

My jacket wad too small i got latge needed an x largd

This was given to me as a gift a few years ago. I love wearing it. It looks great from the outside but I am so disappointed in the quality of the lining. The jacket has very light wear but leaves awful white specks all over my neck and chest. When I wear it now, I zip it up all the way so people can't see the deterioration of the lining. I used to love everything about this jacket but am just so disappointed.

Not any type of protection against the against the lightest of of elements. It is a rain jacket that costs way too much...

I wear an XL in everything but this was too small :(

i've had and worn this exact same jacket which I purchased a few years ago. It now needs to be replaced. The new jacket came yesterday, and I am so disappointed. It is absolutely not equal to my old one. This one, which is the same size, is smaller and far inferior. It looks cheap and not worth over $100.00 for an unlined rain jacket. It is going back.

I LOVE this jacket except for the fact that the velcro sticks to EVERYTHING. For example, the jacket lining, your hair, car seat, bedding, etc....

I can't believe the horrible quality of this jacket. I expected so much more from northface. I had a house full of people around when I opened it up and everyone agreed it looks like it came from the dollar store and took 50 cents to make.

I bought this jacket on box day last December for my mother. she only wears occasionally, however, when she went outside last week in a small rain wearing this jacket, the whole area surrounding her shoulders and chest are all WET!!! She tested it once again another day in small rain, the same thing happen.. This is UNBELIEVEABLE, we brought this jacket solely for the purpose of waterproof, as advertised per the the item description on the website but this is NOT WATERPROOF AT ALL, not even in small rain, severally doubting North Face's quality control, and utterly disappointed in the product... North face could not keep up with its reputation and quality promises

I purchased this jacket and after the first wash with cold water it literally ripped! The lining was separated from the jacket and chipped! I was excited to have this jacket this spring but it's completely ruined.

Jacket had size label that said small, but was actually a size large (due to manufacturing sewing on wrong size label). The company refused to exchange for one in correct proper size.

Runs small, cheap material, over priced. Disappointed in the direction The North Face is going!

I bought this jacket as a waterproof layer when hiking, fishing, camping, etc. However, after about 2 hours fishing in a light drizzle my jacket underneath was wet, and I was starting to shiver. It repels water for about 30 minutes, but if you're planning on being in the rain longer than that, I would pick a different brand or product.

Product was to thin and over priced

There is nothing great about this jacket. I would get more protection from the elements wearing a jacket made from paper.

This is quite possibly the worst rain jacket I've ever owned. I've had it a little under a year now. It was lightweight, the cut was good, and it was not too expensive. But I have yet to take a walk in it and stay dry. It is SOOO not breathable--even with the pit zips undone--that moisture condenses on the inside. If I wear it with a t-shirt, my arms stick to the inside of the sleeves from the wetness. If I wear it with long sleeves, the shirt sleeves are completely damp by the end of my walk. The insides of the jacket sleeves literally glisten with moisture. Frankly shocked that North Face would produce such a poor product. On returning from today's dog walk soaked (again), I resolved to just donate the thing.

I wore this jacket on a walk in extremely light rain and was supremely disappointed to find that when I walked past a tree the jacket was torn. The quality was so horrible that it ripped when brushing against leaves. The worst product I have ever received from this brand. What a waste of money.

Appeared to have lining in pics but didn't. I sent it right back.

Very disappointed in overall quality.

This coat was not pleased very disappointed!

I returned women's venture jacket 12/27/18
