How does this jacket compare to TNF Venture Jacket? Which one is lighter? The South Texas and Louisiana summer storms can be ridiculously hot!

Both are pretty equivalent in weight - a thin, uninsulated nylon jacket with a waterproof barrier. The feature you want to look for is breathability - a more breathable jacket will better allow your body's perspiration to work properly, keeping you cool when you work hard. For that reason I'd recommend the Aegis over the Venture. Marmot's Membrain strata has a really good reputation for its breathability - this is because it is a membrane and not a coating. The TNF Venture is a lower quality coating, more equivalent to the Marmot Precip. If you want the most versatility in warm weather, you should make sure to get the lightest color (Granite).
