Hey I am going to school in the Appalachian mountains and am wondering if this is a good jacket to keep me dry in snow storms as well as downpours or if I should go for goretex? and if so which jacket?

Thank you for the advice, but that is a little out of my price range, is there another jacket you would recommend over this for around $100?

I would suggest going for a jacket with Gore-Tex. The Venture is a decent jacket for a little bit of rain, but its not very good for downpours and its pretty darn thin to be a winter/snow jacket. i would suggest getting something a bit heavier that will be a bit warmer for the winter. I would suggest to get the Mountain Hardwear Xenon shell. its still pretty light weight at 19oz, and it will give you the desired weather protection.
