The North Face Resolve Jacket - Women's

The North Face Resolve Jacket uses a lightweight mesh lining to keep it from feeling clammy, even in an absolute downpour. The waterproof breathable HyVent DT shell easily withstands the most horrendous rain you encounter on the trail, and it lets water vapor escape so you don't end up drowning in your own sweat. The North Face used a fully adjustable hood to round out the Resolve Rain Jacket's features and ensure you stay bone-dry even in nasty weather.

Bottom Line: Stop worrying about the rain. You have The North Face Resolve Jacket to keep you dry if the weather turns bad.

This jacket really doesn't breathe enough to comfortably run in. There are other jackets out there that are more suited for fall running. I used mine once last year for running 5 miles in light rain and it was around 50 degrees. I sweat quite a bit and this jacket simply does not breathe enough.

I'd only wear the resolve if you are running in the rain. It does breath but it is so much more comfy and practical to use some like the The North Face Windstopper Active Jacket for crisp fall cardio missions!

Pretty Sweet Jacket

By:
August 28, 2008

The jacket is quite comfortable and has a very good design so it looks good when you wear it. Make sure you measure yourself correctly before ordering because it tends to ride up. It keeps out water well, but the collar is really warm. I also like that it has tightners at the waist. I can't wait to use it again.

Well, it's better than a poncho and would usually keep the chill off of you, but it isn't really lined or insulated for warmth. It's essentially a plain shell with a lot of nice small features (nice if they are what you're looking for) but it's ultimately a shell.

nice jacket

By:
July 7, 2008

My Kelpie Green jacket just arrived. I love the color. My only complaint with this jacket is that the wristbands are a little snug. I bought this jacket as a cheaper replacement to my North Face Venture jacket that I lost last summer. This jacket is nice, but I wish I spent the little bit extra and got the Venture which had adjustable wrists and was slightly longer.

Great Jacket

The North Face Resolve Jacket has been a great purchase. It held up to torrential downpours while hiking in Hawaii while staying comfortable and cool. Fits well but can layer underneath it easily for extra warmth. I look forward to getting a lot of use out of this jacket.

Awesome Rain Jacket

By:
April 14, 2008

This is a great lightweight waterproof jacket, and very stylish too! I have the Kelly Green color and it goes with everything! Great for hiking in misty wet weather or just walking around New York city in the rain! However, it is not a cold-weather coat, more for tropical/spring rain than winter. Can't wait to wear it on my trip around the world!

Much more flattering than the older Columbia rain jacket I used in Oregon for many years now.

Resolve Jacket

By:
February 17, 2009

I agree with the previous person who posted; it's really thin. It's also very light weight, feels like nothing. I was expecting something a little more insulated, but it gets the job done when it comes to campus life and the unpredictable rainy Oregon weather. I'm 5'5", approx 120 lbs, slightly longer torso and Asian/small build and ordered the XS. I wasn't able to try on a jacket prior to buying it, so I was surprised by how short the jacket is as it only comes down to the top of my hips. One problem I do have with the jacket is the length of the sleeves (I have this problem with most TNF items, so maybe it's just me and my arms); the XS fits fine in the torso but the sleeves are always short (comes down to the bony point of my wrist). The sleeves of S are longer but the rest of the jacket is huge. The jacket is also boxy looking until you cinch in the bottom. The XS was roomy enough for me to wear TNF Pumori fleece jacket underneath (but the Resolve is not a zip-incompatible item). In retrospect, the size S might have been a better choice, since no one likes wet, cold hands when it's raining.

Ditto to other reviews

By:
June 19, 2008

The jacket itself is great; my critiques of it are more cosmetic...it is lightweight and lends itself well to layering, so it can work in any season, and it does breathe well, as well as being waterproof. The hood is annoying because it doesn't stay up on its own in windy weather, and contrary to what another reviewer said elsewhere, I don't think it's necessary to buy a size up--I did, and it looks too baggy on me, so I wish I'd gone with my normal size. It's still a really great rain jacket and overall I'm happy with my purchase!

I love this jacket! It's pretty breathable and it's really waterproof. I had to sit in some serious downpour for over 3 hours and by the end of it I was the only one dry (from the waist up)! You really get what you are paying for. The mesh liner is a little awkward at first but once it's broken in you don't even notice it. I wear it even when it's not raining!

By:

A reviewer on another site (not here) recommended buying a size up, and I thought since I'd want it for layering purposes in colder weather, as well as wearing it alone in warmer weather, I'd follow that; however, I think I would have been fine with my normal size, even after layering. I'm just affirming what another reviewer here said: no need to size up!

Based on all the reviews, this seems like a great jacket and exactly what I'm looking for. My question is about the fit of this jacket: I have a TNF Denali fleece (as seen on college campuses everywhere, lol) in a size Large. It was given to me as a gift, but I think it's a little big on me and looks sort of floppy. I see from the reviews of the Resolve jacket that some people say to order up, so that would be a Large, I think, since the Large in the fleece seems a bit big on me..? Basically, I'm looking for your thoughts on sizing and, secondly, your thoughts on Backcountry.com's returns/exchanges - if I tried it on and wanted a different size, would an exchange be a big hassle?

Good rain jacket

By:
December 29, 2008

I bought this jacket strictly to protect against the windy and rainy days. I also wanted a hood that would come over my face more unlike my Marmot rain jacket that didn't fit over the top of my head thus my face getting wet anyways.

I am short and this jacket hits just below my hips which is good if you wish to wear any type of layer underneath. It is pretty thin but I haven't found myself to be too chilly in it, though if the temp is low I would recommend a base layer fleece or something to help keep you warm.

I love this jacket. So much that I bought a second one after moving to a very rainy Germany. I now have the brown (two years) and red (five years). It has a great fit adjustments, and I never have problems with the hood. I've taken it spelunking, hiking, climbing, and camping and it's never caught or torn. You would never guess either of them aren't new. They wash well and dry fairly quickly.

Hey Griffin,Ahhh, the beauties of marketing:) I don't know that there is really a good reason. They decide what they're going to charge and maybe this is one of those cases where TNF decided to throw two prices in the air and wherever they landed was the price of that jacket. There's no real sense sometimes.

Too big

By:
October 21, 2009

Seems like a great jacket. Mine ran really big though. I'm 5'2 and 130 lb and went with a medium, but I need a small. Even with my north face denali jacket underneath, it's just way too puffy!

There is a slight drop in the back to accomodate for where it sits on the hips, but is not noticable on the body. The length from the center of the back is 27 inches.

Love it!

By:

This is a great jacket. I love the way the hood tucks away into the collar. It certainly repels the rain and is a great windbreaker too. Great for layering.
Highly recommend!

Love how the hood rolls into the collar!

By:
May 25, 2009

Classic rain jacket! Love it! I'm 5'4", 140lbs and I have a feeling I should have ordered a medium instead of large. It's roomy, but great for layering. My favorite part: The hood can be smoothly rolled into the collar! I'm not a fan of hooded jackets either, but head coverage does come in handy during sudden downpours. Good buy.

My husband bought me this jacket--It was exactly what I was looking for. After a lot of searching online and in stores, the price is unbeatable and the stores we went to did not have this style (all black and waterproof with a hood.)

It's lightweight and it looks good. It really is the perfect jacket for so many different occasions.

Great Jacket

By:
June 20, 2008

I'm about to use this jacket on a month long trip to Europe. I have worn it around NYC the few weeks I've had it and it's been wonderful in the rain. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I'm 5'11 and it hits just a little shorter than I wished. It's not really their fault I'm an amazon, but I would really like if this came in the parka length. The price difference between this jacket and the other parka was just too much to warrant.

Considerably warm when worn with a sweater. So great, I ordered the Tri-climate for winter. Can't wait for that coat! I know I will be just as pleased.

The rain jacket is soft so it feels great. It also has a lined collar which keeps you warm when the wind kicks up. I'm 5'2" and 115lbs. I bought a small and it fits me well. A bit loose so I can layer up if I want. I like it and can't wait to wear it again.

GREAT JACKET RUNS LARGE

By:
October 2, 2009

This jacket is really comfortable, and really cute. I ordered a Large, because I have another northface and I like it a little bit bigger to fit hoodies under it. But this jacket was SO BIG! I wanted to exchange it for a small or a medium, but they didn't have the color I wanted anymore. I would highly suggest buying this jacket, but buy it a size smaller than you normally wear!

Very good

By:
July 22, 2009

The green in this jacket is a wonderful happy color! I was very confused before buying about the price differences between the two NF jackets, but I think this is great. Being 5' 3" it hits around my actual hip bones, which is nice that it's not too long. The lining is a nice mesh that keeps the jacket from sticking to you. In NYC's hot summer rain, it's still a little warm, but I just use the velcro instead of the zipper to close it so that I don't get as hot. The hood does not have a very extended brim, but I'm content with it for normal use. If you have large wrists I would not suggest getting the Resolve because on my x-small the elastic and non-changeable wrists fit snugly...which could be too tight easily if the other sizes don't increase the wrist size very much. Overall, I think it's great so far and the water beads off very nicely!

Nice jacket

By:
June 20, 2009

I liked the feel of this jacket (material wise, it felt less like a plastic sheet for some reason) than the more expensive Venture Jacket by THF. It's a nice jacket with a great cut that flatters. However, the wrists are a bit snug and the jacket is pretty short. If you don't mind your shirts poking out at the hip then it'll serve you well.

Got the jacket on and it fit great until I tried to zip it up!! Unfortunately, designers seem to have forgotten that some of us women have breasts larger than 34A... Had to send it back because I can't shrink and it would not expand...
