Don't let its lightweight design fool you, The Venture Jacket from The North Face is a full-on waterproof, breathable, seam-sealed jacket engineered to withstand wilderness storms, yet styled for every day use.
Great Gear
Very pleased with the Venture Jacket. As billed, it is lightweight and breathable, yet durable and provides good protection against rain and wind. I replaced an old outdated windbreaker and this jacket is clearly superior. For the fall, it fit perfectly over a fleece or hoodie providing excellent cover at football games. When a winter parka is too much, I have no doubt it will prove a great alternative -- especially if breathing is important, for example, while shoveling snow or jogging. The velcro on the sleeves and front (doubling up on the zipper) works well. The styling -- I chose the evergreen / olive -- is a bonus.
AWESOME JACKET
This jacket definitely is a must for those rainy days where you dont want to carry around an umbrella everywhere you go. This jacket will keep you completely dry and keeps all the wind out. All you have to do to dry it is just shake it and majority of the water just comes off. the Vents definitely gives you some air when it gets too stuffy. i recommend getting a fleece inner layer just in case you plan on wearing it in cold weather.
