The North Face Resolve Jacket - Men's

It's been pouring rain for nine-straight hours, but you're still nice and dry thanks to The North Face Men's Resolve Jacket. You haven't felt a speck of moisture through the fully seam-taped, waterproof breathable HyVent fabric, and the mesh lining increases breathability to keep you from getting sweaty during a steep section of hiking. When the sky finally clears, just tuck The North Face Resolve Jacket's hood into its own collar and enjoy the sun.

Bottom Line: Don't let rain end your hike. Gear up with The North Face Resolve Jacket.

Solid jacket

By:
January 31, 2008

This jacket doesn't breathe as well as some others, and could be lighter, but for this price, it's fine. I have been happy with this jacket, I am 6'0"/165 lbs, and I got a Large in the event that I'm layering, but I should have gotten Medium.

Solved the Problem!

By:
October 23, 2009

My son just went to college at University of Arkansas and we totally underestimated the rain! It was too hot for a ski jacket so I searched the web for a good looking, truly water proof jacket and found it at Backcountry - the North Face Resolve Jacket. I had it sent directly to him, it got there very quickly, and he really liked it, which makes me feel great as a mom. Thanks for solving our problem!

I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but it seems to be fulfilling its purpose quite well. I think someone previously mentioned the absence of vents in the underarm, so I had my concerns about ventilation prior to buying. However, it hasn't been much of an issue, especially considering the cold weather now. May be a different story in the spring. Also, the collar is a little big, but the interior of the collar is made of soft, felt-like fabric, so it's not as noticeable in terms of touch as it probably would be if it wasn't lined. All in all, I thought it was a fantastic buy for the price, quality, and brand.

Mt. Bachelor, OR

By:
June 10, 2009

I dig this jacket. I'm 6'0 180 and the Large leaves room for layers, though the neck can get tight zipped up with a heavier fleece under it. I've hiked many miles in 50's temps with just a t-shirt and never found myself wanting for weatherproofness or breathability. It is noteworthy that if you intend to use the hood you WILL HAVE TO use a billed hat of some type. The hood has no other adjustments other than the face drawstring and it is BIG. Would most likely fit a helmet but will totally obscure frontal vision without a hat. Not a bad jacket for the price. HyVent is decent stuff.

Great jacket

By:
October 16, 2009

Great jacket for a great price. Backcountry ships way faster than they say they do. As for the jacket it self, like the other reviews say, its not as light as more expensive jackets are, but it isnt really noticeable unless you are trying to shave ounces off your total gear weight. The hood is big, you could wear a helmet under it. Also the wrist cuffs are not adjustable. IF these 3 things are going to bother you at all, get another jacket. But, IMHO the jacket is awesome and i wear it as much as i can.

Awsome Jacket

By:
September 24, 2009

Bought this jacket last winter and have been pleased ever since. It is totally waterproof, which was one of my biggest concerns. I am 5'9'' about 150lbs. and I got a medium. It fits pretty well depending on what you like. It goes about 3in. below my waist and the arm length is perfect for me.

The Waypoint would be better for year round use, especially if you have to deal with a winter season. Where as this one will be more of a 3 season jacket better for spring, summer and fall.

This will pretty much put you in the same boat as that LL. Bean Jacket. Hate to say it but you get what you pay for and for what you need you are going to have to spend a good deal more money to get something that waterproof.

Fits great

By:
October 10, 2008

I am 178lb, 5'10" and have always had trouble fitting into TNF jackets and sweaters. I bought this Resolve jacket in a large, and it fits very well. It almost has an athletic fit to it imo. The sleeves are elastic, so they naturally want to hang right above your hands. I found that the sleeve is surprisingly a good length, me usually expecting TNF to be tailored to long, skinny people. The neck area is full of fleece and it feels nice against my face and neck. I prefer a hood that can stow in the collar, which this jacket does. It has not rained yet, but I'm guessing that the waterproofness will hold up well. For the price, a great deal!

not so much, missing a snow skirt and the fabric is not durable enough, not enough pockets and the two pockets it has are not handwarming, theres also no venting, elastic cuffs not velcro, also doesnt seem to have a drawcord on waist...so basically it is missing ALL the features that seperate snow jackets from rain jackets...and interestingly enough, thats excatly what it is; a rain jacket...it wont work great but is waterproof, if you absolutley HAVE to use it for boarding...but do some digging and you can find tons of snowboard jackets (on this site) for under 100 bucks

Ok

By:

The jacket works like most others of decent quality (Helly-Hansen, etc). It you use it to jog or walk in, it becomes pretty hot and clammy. The hood is huge and almost out of control. You need to adjust it quite a bit and hopefully are wearing a cap of some kind. If you need to adjust it while putting it on in the rain, you will get pretty wet.

the resolve has a stowable hood and weights a bit more than both the Venture jacket and Venture Parka, with the Venture jacket being the lightest. according to the stats, they both have the same breathability and waterproofing. i believe the venture parka is a bit longer/bigger than the venture jacket. i would recommend getting the Venture jacket. its a solid, lightweight, all-around rain shell for a cheap price, especially right now since the discounted colors are priced at $59.37.

I would suggest looking at the North Face Venture jacket. its lighter weight, has a fixed hood, and will pack easier than this jacket. and right now the discontinued colors are on sale for $59.37, so that is a really good deal for an effective rain shell.

The main difference is the resolve has a hanging mesh lining inside, while the Venture is 2.5 layer construction so it does not. The Venture is lighter and more packable, while the Resolve is a little heavier and one could say a little more heavy duty.
