Built for harsh weather and everyday use, the North Face Venture offers excellent protection from the elements. The HyVent Technology gives better air circulation to the wearers body allowing for easier sweat management. In addition, the jacket itself is easily compressible for storage. If you're looking for a comfortable outer layer for your clothing system, then check out the Venture.

• Hem cinchcord
• Jacket stows in left pocket
• Lightweight, waterproof, breathable jacket for all-around exploration in changing conditions.
• Pit-zip vents

  • i have read many negative reviews on this jacket, in particular that it is NOT waterproof. what is your own opinion on it?

  • I think the jacket is fine for light to medium rain. However if you're going to be in heavy downpour I'd go with a full-on gore-tex shell.

    The trade off is between water-resistance vs. weight and comfort. It'll depend on what environment you want it for.

  • @jumpthemap I heard H2NO is just as waterproof as Gore-Tex but not as breathable. What do you think of the Patagonia Shadow rain jacket for heavy downpours? I read the rating for Goretex and H2NO is 65 psi and Hyvent is 60 psi.

  • Don't have any personal experience with the Shadow Rain Jacket.

    It's important to try out the product in person. Even though the published literature will list certain numbers, one must also consider the subjective feeling of how the product works for YOU.

    If you can, try on the jacket, feel the material, and try to assess (based on your own experience) how you think it will do.

    Wish I could be more help.

    Let us know how it goes!
