The North Face Venture Parka - Men's
Rain Shell
By Jared Smith
Ranked #1530 - Men's Rain Jackets
February 27, 2009
I went down to the local REI and took a look at this rain coat. It is paper thin and really not intended for insulation. I was really pleased with the fabric as I'll usually be wearing a base layer and wouldn't want too much additional bulk on while I'm hiking in spring/summer months. I'm 6' 6" and have a tough time with length but have no problems with this jacket. I would recommend the jacket as a light rain coat but not as an insulating layer.
