a very versitle jacket | |
| Rating: | |
I've had mine over 2 years now,and while wearing it, have guided five ascents of Mexico's Pico de Orizaba, two expeditions climbing Iliniza Norte and Cotopaxi in Ecuador, a trip up Mt Hood and MT Adams, and many ascents in the Colorado Rockies in all four seasons and this jacket, working as an ultralight shell over my fleece and midweight tops has performed flawlessly. Yes, it breathes well enough to keep me dry, and is a welcome ounce saver for higher altitude trips while providing a wind layer in a vareity of climates from Orizaba's 18,403ft dry and mildly cold climate to Ecuador's more humid, colder air with wetter snow at 19,000'+ altitude. It's simple design takes up very little space in my pack and the pockets are large enough to stow my gloves when not in use. They allow me to stow my x-small bottle of sunscreen and a bit of food and still leave me enough room to slip my hands inside without worrying of pulling stuff out when I remove them. The jackets cut is not too constricting so climbing technical terrain hasn't been a problem and I like the short length as it gives me access to the gear racked on my harness.the pit zips are great but id recommend putting on a longer cord to make them easier to operate. It's nice to know you don't have to spend several hundred dollars to get a very adequately performing jacket for a variety of climates, altitudes and conditions. I've already decided that when I replace this jacket it will be with another Venture as I'm sold its the right jacket for all my alpine needs. If I were to redesign anything it would be to make the hood slightly larger to more easliy fit my helmet underneath. | |

Scotland, England, Ireland | |

| I bought this jacket at Macy's in New York (for considerably more than Altrec is charging for it) in the Filo Green, and since then have taken it on separate trips to Ireland, England, and Scotland. My father liked it so much he borrowed it on a recent trip to Australia for a month. It has served me fantastically on all three trips I took. It's extremely light and it packs nicely into the pocket (and the little bundle it makes can be squished even tighter). I have no complaints about it keeping me dry. When they say the hood is fully adjustable, they mean it; I have no trouble sizing it so that the hood keeps water out of my face, but does not restrict my vision. There is a built in semi-rigid "bill" along the top edge of the hood that really helps in this regard. The "pit vents" under the arms are fine. I've used them a few times when it was rainy yet quite warm, but most of the time I just don't notice they're there. One thing I love in particular about this jacket are the adjustable cuffs. I am very picky about my cuffs, and I don't like most elastic cuffs as they feel too restrictive for me. This jacket includes a long strip of velcro that lets you size the cuffs exactly to your comfort without any uncomfortable squeezing that you would get with elastic. The jacket is fitted so that you can easily layer up underneath it, but it won't be too loose and baggy if you're just wearing a t-shirt. All in all a terrific value, and recommended to anyone. | |

For Runners - Ventilation | |
| Rating: |  |
I had a 4 year old Marmot Precip Jacket that breathed great on 5 mile runs in the rain, but it finally began to delaminate along the seams, so I first tried to buy the new version of the Precip. What a mistake! The new version has a different coating inside and shorter pit zips. I was wet inside badly from perspiration. They don't breathe well enough for me running, so, I tried this jacket based upon the good reviews here. | |

Good Value Jacket | |
| Rating: | |
| I just purchased this jacket from Altrec. I picked the closeout Alder Brown color. I don't normally purchase anything brown, but the pricing was too good to pass up. I was surprised at how well the color won me over. It would look good on the trail and around town. I immediately got to tryout its ability to keep me dry and it excelled. Water beaded up like drops off a ducks back. Pit zips were helpful in regulating heat and you can hardly notice them visually when engaged. While I haven't used it for hiking or camping yet, this seems like a perfect stuffable jacket for those purposes. Some posters have said they don't like the white lining, but I kind of like the white inside lining. I'm guessing the reflective nature of the material, could help in a rescue situation? Velcro on the wrist offers a custom feel and the hood is expremely adjustable. This jacket layers well with light fleece for a super warm and wicking combination. I may use this jacket to ski in the near future and I'm looking forward to stuffing it with my camping / kayak gear this summer. | |

I've only had this jacket for a couple of months, so my review is rather limited. With that being said, I would like to echo several of the positive reviews given here. I bought this to serve as a packable option for hiking in Hawaii (home), and for wherever else it rains and I'm outside. The first time I went hiking with it in my backpack, I got caught in a 30-minute downpour, and it kept the water out completely. My pack got soaked and the front of my legs got wet, but my core was rain-free. It does breathe reasonably well. It was about 80-81° when I was using it, and I never felt "hot", but my arms did get a little clammy. On the other hand I've worn it to work as a windbreaker and it really doesn't insulate very well, as it shouldn't. It should really excel in more temperate climates. The jacket is lightweight, fits well on my 6'1"-185 lb frame (size large), and the construction seems solid. Bottom line, take our advise and get this jacket! You won't be disappointed unless you deserve it for some reason. | |

What Everyone Needs: A knife, a good woman and this jacket! | |

I got my first Venture jacket for my 21st birthday and it lasted until a few weeks before my 25th. It is still waterproof and I still use it for outdoor work, but the inner lining cracked some over time and I simply gave it hell before it started to do so. Had I not been so hard on it, I believe it would still be in factory condition to this day. | |

Excellent Rain Shell | |
| Rating: | |
I chose this jacket because it fits well, is waterproof, stows small into it's own pocket, is relatively light, and has pit zips for cooling down during a warm downpour. Many light rain shells don't have pit zips, and are SO light and cheapie feeling, that they can't bridge the gap to an evening campside wind/warmth jacket which this does very well with layering. That is to say if you're hesitant to go for one of the ultralight, ultrathin rain shells, and you want something that bridges the gap towards the full-blown shell direction, then this is a great comprimise right between the two. Very light, but still substantial enough to be considered a "jacket". | |

Don't leave home without it | |

I've had my The North Face Venture for around 5 years. I take it practically every with me. If I'm not wearing it to block the wind or rain, I keep it in my pack just in case. I normally wear a medium, but got a large to fit as an outer shell over multiple layers. It has elastic drawstrings in all the right places, especially around the hood which has a terrific fit. I just recently washed it for the first time per the directions on the tag and it developed a small tear in the inner fabric. I'll tape it up and continue to use it as long as it sheds the elements. It has been a great shell that has served me well in all my travels. Rain, snow, wind - this will stop it. When it dies, I think I'll try out Patagonia's Rain Shadow shell. | |

"LOVE THIS JACKET!!!! Perfect for that cool summer evening" | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought this jacket for myself -- even though it is a Men's jacket. I searched for the women's in the orange color and they don't carry it soooooo I purchased the men's. I first saw it in a store on vacation and searched the internet for it when I discovered Moosejaw -- Moosejaw was CHEAPER so I'm now addicted to this site!!! I purchased this jacket in a Med -- usually wear a Large in Women -- It fits great -- the sleeves are a little longer -- but I can tighten them up at the wrist -- I carry this with me everywhere I go -- Perfect weight for that cool summer evening -- I love it!!!!! And of course I only bought it to begin with because it was ORANGE -- but it is now my favorite | |

TNF website repeatedly refers to this garment as waterproof. That is a blatant lie. This garment is not even remotely water-resistant. A one-hour rain storm left me completely soaked:literally not a dry spot to be found. | |

jacket length | |
| Rating: |  |
I looked at the pictured jacket and thought it would be perfect for me. I am long-waisted, and needed something that would be long enough to cover my butt! In the actual jacket I received, the jacket bottom was 4" (or more) ABOVE the ends of the sleeves rather than 2" or so below the sleeve-ends as pictured. The quality lives up to North Face standards, but the functionality (for me) left me cold -- literally! | |

Arms are short - .. very common with north face equipment. Besides that the quality of the coat looks decent but the cost is rather high. | |
