I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend that does not like big jackets. This jacket fits him perfectly and is true to size. It is thin and he says he's still warm and does not need a sweatshirt underneath.. I highly recommend this jacket!!

Syracuse is known for it's WET weather and this jacket keeps me dry while looking great. I have been searching years for rain gear that will work for both hiking and emergency downpours when I am out riding the motorcycle - can't wait to try this jacket out on the bike come spring...I am long armed and have great difficulty getting jackets with a wingspan to accommodate me. This jacket, even in a size small, solved the problem.

Bought for my son, he keeps thanking me everyday and saying how awsome this jacket is. Keeps bugging me for another North Face jacket!

yesterday i was riding my bike from work to house and suddenly a very heavy rain began , i put on my venture jacket and it works perfectly, it protect me from the rain and it keeps me dry in the inside. is an excellent jacket

I got my first Venture over 10 years ago. I believe it was about $75 so it has not even gone up much in price since then but the tech is better. About two years ago I noticed the inside coating was flaking around the hood/neck area, so I took it to the North Face store in Seattle and they sent it to warrantee/repairs in California and about two weeks later I received another brand new one in the mail. So all of the reviewers that complain about flaking and not liking the jacket because of it, well, if you'd read about the company you'd see that they have one of the greatest warrantees in the business. DON'T LIKE IT, THEN RETURN IT! Keep your receipts or better yet sign up with NF and they will keep your info/receipt in their computer system (I didn't have a receipt). NOW, enough of that. The shell is great at shedding rain. Remember that with any shell or outdoor technical jacket/pants you have to wash them regularly (like once a month or every two) preferably with a wash created for such things such as Nik Wax technical wash, and then treat it while wet with Grangers KT waterproofer or the Nik Wax version of such. Then dry it on medium in the dryer and your jacket will once again bead water. If you don't do this, no jacket including Gore Tex will bead water forever! BUT, that said, even if it does not bead water you will notice that no matter how wet it gets on the outside it does NOT soak through. If it does, then there's a problem with the inside coating so you send it to warrantee dept and they will most likely send you a new one. About the inside coating....it is rather "sticky" feeling and you DO sweat in there. Yes, the jacket IS breathable, but not perfect, that's why there are pit zips and you can also unzip the pockets for more air. I still sweat and it gets humid inside no matter what but it's not that bad. I like the hood on this jacket, I have a small head and while most any rain shell has an adjustable hood, I have found the NF brand to have the best hoods for fit. My venture has elastic on the cuffs as well as velcro which is a feature they discontinued a couple years ago, sadly. They should bring back that feature so one doesn't have to undo the velcro every time you take it off or put it on. This jacket has two zippered hand pockets and large inside mesh pockets (like for a map, or water bottle, whatever) which are great, and I've heard complaints on here about them tearing but even my old one I used for 7 years never tore! The jacket itself is also ripstop material so if you do get a hole, it won't widen. It's fairly warm too, you can layer as you wish to achieve warmth I wish they had a zippered chest pocket, that would be super helpful. But overall I love the jacket, great colors too, not expensive when compared to other jackets and it will last a LONG TIME.

I love to layer this over a North Face Fleece, so comfortable, so warm, so dry!

This jacket is awesome, great jacket for keeping dry and it is very warm for being a light shell!

This coat was warm and looks very nice. Works good in the rain

I love the jacket is very lightI would recommend this jacket to a friend family member

I have owned a few of these rain slickers. I decided to purchase one for a friend as a Christmas gift. I know he will be happy with it... how could he not be!!
