Award-winning and much loved, The North Face Women's Venture Jacket should be a staple in every adventure-loving woman's outdoor clothing collection. When things get wet and splashy, this lightweight, packable rain jacket comes out to play. Constructed with HyVent DT EC, a new waterproof breathable material made from castor oil beans, this eco-friendly jacket keeps you dry and uses 50% fewer synthetic components than traditional waterproofing. An attached adjustable hood has a visor to shield your face even in the thickest downpour while a drawcord at the hem and Velcro tabs at the cuffs seal out wind and water.
When the sun is out this rain coat stuffs into the left-hand pocket, making a tiny package that will save you space in your backpack. The standard fit allows it to slide on easily over layers when the temperature drops. Thai taxi driver drop you off in a warm Asian monsoon? Unzip the pit zips and be glad you don't have a bulky umbrella to deal with. A nice September hike around Mt Adams have a cold rain storm in store for you? Block out wind and rain as you stop for a few more huckleberries on your way back to the trailhead. Simple, everyday style and an array of colors that trumps any bridal boutique, you're sure to find a favorite when you try on The North Face Venture Jacket for women.

This jacket is extremely majestic, and withstands any amount of rain. It is good for just about anything, and is actually pretty warm if layered. It is also windproof, which helps a lot. I wear mine pretty must everywhere. If you do not have a layer underneath, it can get a bit plasticy and clingy, but that is to be expected with most rain coats. I wear it hiking a lot because it is very lightweight and vresatile. I got the Octopus Blue, and it is fantastic. It fits true to size, and still has lots of room for layering without looking bulky at all. No real downsides... I highly recommend it!

Cool jacket
I like this jacket because the hood can be adjusted, and the sleeves are long. The one thing I don't like is that the mesh lining in the inside gets stuck on the velcro sometimes when I am not wearing the jacket.

great jacket
I love The North Face and their products--they are all very durable, great quality, and long lasting. I really love the color of this jacket also. It's really lightweight and I love wearing it, it's very comfortable. I would not wear it in the winter time because it's not made to protect from cold, but it's useful for wearing in the rain.

Love this jacket!
I was looking for a rain jacket that is truly waterproof. This one works quite well. It is light, yet I can foresee wearing it in the cooler weather with a sweater underneath. The hood coverage is very good. The pockets have zippers, a must for me! The color is great - I got berry. I read the other reviews for sizing. I ordered a medium, I am 5' 7", 115 lbs. It's a bit roomy, but I have broad shoulders and long arms. I also wanted to be able to layer underneath. It also has the velcro on the sleeves and the hem cinch cord to adjust the fit. I would highly recommend this jacket.

Women's Venture Jacket
It fits great. True to size. I Love the colors, I had a hard time making a choice. It's light and it does not make that loud swishing noise when you wear it. Altrec had the best price. They carry great products. I would buy from Altrec again.
