High stakes pursuits in the wet or blustery backcountry require that you stay dry, comfortable, and well-equipped at all times - so do so in The North Face's Venture Jacket. Bring on wet weather - HyVent 2 layer fabric is completely waterproof, especially when augmented by sealed seams; meanwhile, comfort is kept paramount with the adjustable hood, brushed chinguard lining, and pit-zip vents. F09 Specification based on size Medium.
The Venture Jacket by The North Face is one of their best selling, highly technical rain jackets that is designed for trekking, backpacking or any sort of outdoor travel during inclement weather. Easy to be outside in the Venture with its HyVent DT technology, which is a waterproof and breathable fabric with an interior tactile microdot print that makes the fabric separate from the skin and channels moisture away from the body keeping you dry and safe from the elements.
Seam sealed for absolute water protection, yet maintains a breathability that keeps you from overheating or creating an interior, clammy mess.
The North Face Venture Jacket is a lightweight, waterproof breathable jacket great for trekking and travel use. Keep the Venture Jacket in your pack or suitcase and you'll be ready for an unexpected downpour. Despite being lightweight, the HyVent DT fabric is tough enough to stand up to everyday use. HyVent DT is a highly breathable, waterproof fabric with a raised microdot inner surface that acts to lift the shell fabric away from your skin. This provides a comfortable, soft, easy-sliding feel while maximizing moisture transport away from your skin. The result: you stay drier and warmer. This combination of waterproofing and breathability makes the Venture ideal for keeping the elements out. *Please note: TNF outerwear tends to run a size larger than you might normally wear. Please consult the sizing chart to determine your proper TNF size.

Great jacket, but buy the parka | |

So far I'm really happy with my jacket. I haven't had any really heavy rain to try it out in so far, but in moderate rain it has been great. | |

I recommend this jacket! | |
| Rating: | |
I am a delivery driver and really needed a rain jacket so after several days of shopping around I found the black/aurora pink venture jacket and it completely keeps me dry and cool. Backcountry.com had the best deal with smooth service and shipping! I like that you can adjust the hood and bottom and that it fits your curves instead of making you look boxy. My only complaint is when it is zipped all the way up and I have my hood on no matter how much I try to adjust, it rubs my chin. Its not painful or anything but it is really irritating to me. I got a large and it is a bit roomy on me I probably should have got a medium but it's good to have plenty of room for layering since it doesn't have a zip in liner. I am 5'5 about 160-165 lbs. | |

| North Face's Women's Venture Jacket - This is an excellent jacket. It's well made, true to size, and does everything it's supposed to. Its construction and design makes it a terrific foul weather jacket, and is in its own element in the rain. The hood extends past your facial area, truly protecting you. The rain runs right off this jacket, unlike others which soak up the water. This jacket breathes also, so one doesn't feel like they just walked out of a steam bath when wearing it in warmer weather. Using this jacket as an outside layer, it's wonderful for layering during colder weather. Yes, The North Face brand demands a little more money, but their products are well worth it. Zappos carries a wide selection of their products and the prices are very good. Considering Zappos' customer satisfaction, delivery, and return policies, you couldn't do better. | |

Very effective in the rain | |
| Rating: | |
My jacket arrived in only 3 days from Backcountry Outlet (even though I ordered the free ground shipping), and that was just in time for the rainiest weekend out here. I was canoeing in pouring rain for 4 hours and my fleece underneath stayed miraculously dry. The water-wicking effectiveness might have been partially because it was so new at the time, but I was the only one in my group that wasn't soaked under my jacket. The hood worked pretty well too, but it was fairly windy and it blew off a couple of times. I got the brown XS and the sizes must run big because I would normally wear Small, but this was still roomy enough to wear a fleece hoodie underneath and have breathing room. It isn't really tapered as it looks in the picture, but it still looks great. | |

Great Rain Coat! | |
| Rating: | |
I wasn't sure which size to order (normally wear XS in TNF gear), so I ordered both the XS and S. I'm 5'5 and 120lbs (athletic build), and the XS fit well in the body, but the arms and jacket were a little short, so I went with the S, and now have room to layer a Denali fleece. Something to note, this jacket is very fitted compared to other rain jackets I looked at. It goes in at the waist and then has a dramatic flare out for the hips. As I have narrow hips, the flare is a little much for me, but again, should be good for layering and adds a little more style! Haven't tested in the rain, but am confident from other reviews that it will keep me dry! | |

Pretty in Pink, Blue, and White! | |
| Rating: | |
I purchased Venture Jackets for my teenaged daughters last Christmas. They love their jackets so much I had to buy one of my own. I am 47, 5'7" tall and weigh 158 pounds. The medium fits me perfectly. It is form fitting enough that it looks attractive over lightweight clothing, but I can comfortably wear a sweater under it. The Fever Pink is a beautiful color and I get lots of compliments. My daughters have jacktets in light blue and white. My oldest daughter is in college and says her white Venture, which she keeps in her backpack, is indispensable. It looks good with everything she wears. I want to add that I have ordered jackets from Backcountry.com for everyone in my family and their customer service is wonderful. Love them! | |

Best thing ever! | |
| Rating: | |
I'm in Charlottesville, VA for school and it rains a lot more here than it did at home. I recently got this jacket and wore it walking around campus in a downpoor. It worked great! I usually get a small in North Face but I found the sleeves were too short for my 5'9 height when I tried on a friends. Also, I like the medium because I can layer a NF fleece under it when it gets cold! Essentially, this is the best thing since sliced bread because I no longer have to carry a crazy umbrella that doesn't work half the time. This is lightweight and packs right in my book bag! Two thumbs up! | |

Best Raincoat Ever!! | |
| Rating: | |
This is a really light weight raincoat. It's also so thin that you feel like you aren't even wearing a raincoat. When i was wearing it, I had a hard time convincing myself that I wasn't getting wet because I could feel the boldness of the raindrops, but lo and behold i was completely dry. | |

| North Face is a high quality product - I ordered the women's North Face Venture jacket. It is lightweight and very comfortable. A great feature of the jacket is that it is waterproof. Just a few days after I received it, we had a rainstorm here and it kept me perfectly dry. It has a great hood that comes down a little over your forehead, which is great at keeping your hair and head dry. I bought mine in the odyssey pink color (more of a burgundy in color). North Face makes a very high quality product. I like it so much that I bought my husband and daughter the jacket also. | |

perfect light shell or rain jacket | |
| Rating: | |
classic. from north face comes the venture jacket- a highly water resistent/proof jacket that works as a rain jacket or as a shell you can layer a 200 or 100 weight fleece in such as the khumbu or natasha from the north face line. living in the northern california where rain has been scarce the past few years, i thought i'd update my north face collection by adding this wonderful jacket when i head down to santa barbara in the fall. The material packs down really tightly so you can stash it in a backpack on a hike to the mountains or throw it in a locker for a rainy day. | |

not a fan | |
| Rating: |  |
I got this jacket after reading both good and bad reviews, but thought for the (reasonable) price, ok... If you are sitting still and not moving, the jacket keeps you dry. However, even with a bit of activity(biking) combined with hard rain means you are soaked inside. Yuck. 0 breathability. So much for hyvent. I became so frustrated with this jacket I bought a Mountain Hardwear Typhoon... Gore Tex is the real deal... | |

Not Very Impressed | |

| This product was quite disappointing. It claims to be insulated and cold weather- proof. Well, it's extremely thin and not at all what I thought it was going to be. I would not recommend this jacket to anyone. I have seen much better products from The North Face. | |

I prefer plastic garbage bags. | |

| I will be returning this item today. It's made of a scratchy, abrasive, inflexible fabric, and I simply can't stand it. Much more comfortable and versatile jackets are available for a lot less. Do not buy this product if you value smooth skin. | |

| I returned this product because it looked and felt to be of low quality for the price I paid. The material was almost too thin and lightweight, and seemed like it might not hold up well over time. | |

| Nice looking but... I wanted to like this jacket but the sleeves are way too long and the width is very big for an XS. I had purchased this in the brownie brown color and loved the color. Unfortunately, the fit was not to my liking. As far as portability of this jacket, it is very lightweight to carry around and stows perfectly away in its own left pocket. In the end, I had to return the jacket. I will look for another style in The North Face brand since their quality is among the best out there. | |

| Bright yellow - I bought this coat in the yellow thinking it would be a pale soft yellow, it turns out to be quite bright yellow. It's a lot thinner than I thought it would be, it's just your average rain coat. I bought an extra small and it's a little too big on me. I don't know if it's supposed to be roomy or not. | |

Do not buy this if you are looking for warmth. This jacket is a good wet weather buy when you are layering underneath. | |

Very thin | |
| Rating: | |
I expected to be slightly more "substantial" but it is a true wind breaker style jacket with a good hood. I think it will work well for my purposes, but I was surprised at how thin it was... still considering if I want to exchange for another style. | |

This is a windbreaker type jacket, I think the price is rather high. The lining is very cute and the fit is good. | |
