The North Face Women’s Venture 2 Waterproof Hooded Rain Jacket - Lightweight Windproof Outdoor Shell for Hiking, Camping & Travel

Best rain jacket for warmer climates! Bought it for Costa Rica and use it in miami. Also has a lot of pockets that’s are great and quality is good too!Well made but what else could you. expect from North Face!Fabric and construction seem to be good North Face quality. Should be a nice jacket for rainy or cool days from Spring through Fall. There is not an inner pocket or a chest pocket, but the hand pockets are constructed so that an interior pocket is formed from the pocket stitching (could be used for a cell phone or small wallet). The hand pockets have zipper closures, the jacket has zipper vents in the underarms for ventilation, the inner seams are sealed to keep moisture out, the sleeve cuffs have adjustable velcro closures to keep the sleeves nice and snug. I am 5'6", 128 lbs, and the medium size is plenty loose enough on me to wear a bulk sweatshirt underneath the jacket. The color selection is awesome - I might order another jacket in a size small in another color just to have a spare.I first ordered my normal size, which is a large. I could zip it, but if I wanted to layer underneath, it would have been too snug. I returned the first one and reordered an XL. The sleeves velcro, so length wasn't a problem. I love the color--it brightens up a dreary day! Hood has great coverage, although it doesn't zip away into the collar. Overall I'm very happy with my purchaseNice and roomy to fit over layers. I've worn this jacket razor clam digging, beachcombing and out in the boat in the pouring rain. It has kept me dry and serves as a great windbreak! I zip my phone in the pocket and it stays dry as well.This new product I bought looks flimsy and is a little smaller than my old rain jacket I bought at a mall in Colombia. I would like to point out that the packaging is very bad. This was in my mail box only with a clear plastic bag, as in the photo.Buen modeloThis jacket is advertised as a 2X, but I suspect that North Face isn't using standard plus sizing as this was so small. Sad as it was a beautiful coat, so functional. And the teal color was amazing.
