Don't leave home without it

Ranked #138 - Men's Rain Jackets
December 29, 2008
I've had my The North Face Venture for around 5 years. I take it practically every with me. If I'm not wearing it to block the wind or rain, I keep it in my pack just in case. I normally wear a medium, but got a large to fit as an outer shell over multiple layers. It has elastic drawstrings in all the right places, especially around the hood which has a terrific fit. I just recently washed it for the first time per the directions on the tag and it developed a small tear in the inner fabric. I'll tape it up and continue to use it as long as it sheds the elements. It has been a great shell that has served me well in all my travels. Rain, snow, wind - this will stop it. When it dies, I think I'll try out Patagonia's Rain Shadow shell.
