The North Face Venture Jacket - Women's
The North Face Venture jacket is light and compressible, engineered to withstand severe rain, and styled for everyday use. Venture out and explore, no matter what Mother Nature has in store.
- The Venture jacket is a staple that every outdoor enthusiast will appreciate
- HyVent® EC 2.5-layer substitutes natural (bean-derived) castor oil for 50% of the petroleum-based materials previously used in the manufacturing process
- HyVent EC maintains excellent waterproof, breathable performance; it's ideal for spring skiing and snowboarding, as well as urban and city hiking
- HyVent is lightweight and packable, moves easily over layers and is more breathable than unlined, treated fabrics
- All seams are sealed for complete protection
- Fully adjustable brimmed hood protects your head from precipitation and allows good visibility; soft lining guards chin against abrasion
- Rip-and-stick stormflap prevents weather penetration through the full-length front zipper
- Pit zippers allow cooling airflow as your activity heats up
- Hem drawcord and elastic cuffs with rip-and-stick closures seal out the weather
- Zip hand pockets; jacket stows in left pocket
- The North Face Venture has a regular cut for easy layering; slightly long length enhances protection
Please note: The North Face products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.
Imported.

Comments about The North Face Venture Jacket - Women's:
I have this jacket in the blue color in the video. I bought it to replace a gore-tex Mountain Hardware jacket that was worn out. While I really like this jacket and wear it often, it is not nearly as breathable or waterproof as a real gore-tex jacket. So I am back on REI.com to find another jacket for an upcoming trip where rain and warmer temperatures are expected.
I usually wear a 6 or 8 and bought this jacket in a small. It has a great, feminine fit. I can put a fleece under it for hiking. I like the pockets, velcro cuffs, and adjustable hood and it is great in cool/cold weather and when it is windy. But in warm weather or on a strenuous hike it just doesn't breathe. I have tried fully opening the pit zips or wearing just a base layer to no avail. It is good in steady rain for about 30 min and then starts to leak. This jacket has its place in my closet, but it is not "the one" that I hoped it would be. I recommend it with those reservations.

I walk very early and live in the pacific northwest, along the coast. We get lots of overcast, rainey weather. This jacket is great to layer over my walking gear, it keeps me dry.

I live in Oaxaca, Mexico where the weather is very variable. I travel a lot because of my job, so sometimes i go from the coast to the sierra to the the central valleys in one day. This jacket is very lightweight and it can fit in a small bag.

Comments about The North Face Venture Jacket - Women's:
Not great for super humid conditions, but then again I am a sweater. Great brim on hood to prevent glasses and face from getting wet, great to roll up and stuff in a bag for the day, extremely waterproof.
My last rain jacket was from Marmot and lasted 5ish years before the inner lining started peeling off and it was not waterproof. I purchased this jacket because it didn't have a separate lining, so I'm hoping it will last longer! Overall, happy so far with this purchase.

Comments about The North Face Venture Jacket - Women's:
While I love this jacket, and have worn it in light rain several times without noticing an issue, I wore it today in a downpour and when hung up to dry in the shower, I noticed that the water draining off it was bright pink (I have the jacket in a bright purple color that appears to be discontinued). Since I was wearing black pants, it didn't stain my clothes, but it would have otherwise if I had worn it with a lighter colored pant. I would recommend the product, but with a warning. Time will tell if one downpour is enough to rinse the free dye or not.

Comments about The North Face Venture Jacket - Women's:
Call me crazy, but when a product by Northface says waterproof, I expect to be nice and dry when I take it off--even in a monsoon. I like that this jacket fits big--it drives me nuts that most jackets now days are skin tight like the manufacturers expect you won't wear anything but a camisole under them. What disappointed me was the dampness seeping though the sleeves and the wet spots all over my shirt when I took off the jacket. The cuffs of my long sleeve shirts got damp as well. The inside of the jacket just feels moist and cold. My work sometimes takes me out doors and I orignally bought this jacket to replace my old leaky columbia rubber jacket. When I realized how comfortable it was I was excited to also use it as my rainy day running jacket. My friends gave me tons of compliments when they saw it on me. I like the fit and the style. I'm so sad that I have to look for something else.

Comments about The North Face Venture Jacket - Women's:
I got this jacket for my wife on sale and took a chance on the HyVent material. It held up for about a year of use. It was good in light rain that didn't last long, but in a heavier, extended rain it leaked badly. It would soak in and her clothes under the jacket would get soaked. The windproofing was still fine, but on a long hike she was cold and wet which meant no fun for either her or I. It also developed holes around the hand pockets and on the arm after some use and I'm sure a little abuse. I still think it is a nice jacket, and I guess for the price a couple of years is good, but I'd rather pay for the Gore-Tex and get more use out of it.
