Customer Reviews The North Face Venture 2 Jacket

Need to be tall for this to fit and look good

I purchased this rain jacket about 2 years ago. I love the style and fit. But after a 45 minute walk in the rain I am wet on the inside due to condensation! The entire lining of the jacket is wet! It's OK to wear out and about, but not for exercise. Disappointed!

I was so excited to get this jacket. It seemed perfect for when I go walking here in Oregon. It is super cute. It has plenty of room for layering. I am 5'5 and have a 38DD bust, which was the basis for the size I ordered. I might have been able to go a size down but It looks great. Here is why the 2 stars. I went on a walk in the jacket and it was not breathable but it was cute and supposed to be waterproof so I decided to keep it. Then, I went walking and found myself in brief moment of light rain while on my walk. This jacket did not keep one part of me dry. When I got home the inside was wet all over and my fleece under it was wet too.

quality is cheap and not at all what I expected it to be. Looks better online. There is no shape to this jacket would not look good on anyone.

This jacket did not meet the North Face standards in my book. The jacket looked good,felt soft and the style up to date but the material was not of a good quality. Nonetheless the jacket was sent back.

I didn't know it was a windbreaker and so thin. It cannot be used till spring.

The jacket is basically plastic and $100 is a little mch for the quality in my opinion..I love north face but thought I would have gotten more for that kind of money.

I returned the jacket because it was rubbery on the inside. Not a good summer rain jacket. Also, I had to pay for the return. Most companies offer free shipping and return shipping.

Don't get me wrong the jacket was beautiful and well made. Everything you would expect from Northface . It was the color ! I expected a soft pink from the picture on the web site but it arrived as a very BOLD fluorescent melon color. Not at all what I was looking for.

I didn't' like the jacket, it wasn't what I expected at all.

Sending Item back quality not what is expected to be

not what I expected and for the price it was a bummer to receive. especially since it was for my mom.

The jacket looks nice and warm from online but I personally think the material isn't warm at all and it's a lot thinner than it appears

New meaning to "light jacket". Ridiculously thin, flimsy, what can I say. Disappointed coming from Northface. Too expensive what it is. Nice features but tooooooo thin.

Not so thrilled expected heaver jacket, the fit was snug , run small

I returned the jacket because it was a windbreaker. Looking at the picture of it online it looked like it had a liner in it but it doesn't. My daughter wanted a heavier jacket, this one was very light weight and was more like a rain jacket.

Very thin almost like paper. Really surprised when I received this just not worth the money

I ordered this jacket to throw on over a t-shirt when its a little rainy, but when I put it on the first time I was shocked. I have long arms for my torso length so I thought a medium would be a good size and maybe I would be able to have a light hoodie on underneath. I could wear a parka underneath this thing! You literally cannot see my body its so large. Now I have to send it back & wait for a new one to come. Just praying it doesn't rain for a few weeks, otherwise I'm gonna get really wet. Also, its very loud. Like, I move my arms and people 50 feet away can hear it... And why do I need zippers under my armpits? I don't plan on sweating in the rain... and if I do, I wouldn't unzip it so that my sides get all wet. How does that even make sense? I love the color (frosty blue, it actually looks like the picture!) but I'm disappointed to say the least.

I really like this jacket for being light weight and fits really well. I'm highly disappointed that it is not waterproof as marketed and huge reason why i spent the money on it thinking this was it a stylish rain jacket that fit me really well. Standing in pouring rain last night at a concert I was soaked and cold because this jacket is not totally waterproof. I would rethink how this product is marketed.

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.
