Great Rain Jacket
I'm 5'11 160lbs and a Large fits with enough room for a sweatshirt underneath but it's great. I've stood in pouring rain for over an hour and when I take the jacket off I'm completely dry. It doesn't breath well but it's understandable for a hard shell. Overall it's a must have rain jacket. Highly recommended.

Worth the Wait
I was having a hard time deciding on which rain jacket I would buy this year. I wanted one that would have underarm zips and a well fitting hood that the wind couldn't blow off. I eventually got this Venture jacket from the North Face and LOVE IT. The sad thing: so did my family so I had to buy two for my sons and one for my wife! Great jacket. VERY comfortable and doesn't feel stuffy/sticky: breaths well. Hood has adjustments in front AND back for the perfect fit. Highly recommended.

Most Impressive
I took this jacket to Russia for a lot of wandering around and also for working outside in all sorts of weather conditions. It kept me totally, utterly, completely dry during some remarkably heavy Russian rain storms, it offered a good layer of protection from urban wind, and whenever I'd pop inside, a quick unzip of the vents kept my body temperature just right. It can also fold up and get quite compact for stuffing in your backpack. At 5'7" and thin, I often get 'small' and still find it a bit roomy, however I think this jacket fits true to size. I was really impressed with how this jacket held up, having had rain gear from other manufacturers, I found this jacket exceeded my expectations.
