Love this coat

I'm really happy that I chose TNF Resolve Jacket over the Venture. I love this jacket so much, I ordered another! It's more than a raincoat, it's also a great windbreaker or casual coat to wear on warmer days. It's very attractive and the bottom can be cinched up for a more tailored look. I spent a long time researching and trying on (at another store) the Venture versus the Resolve. Here are my thoughts... The Venture is stiffer and is not fully mesh lined. Plus, it is actually shorter than the Resolve (the Resolve is 27 inches in back and the Venture is 26 inches). The Venture has a one piece hood, and hood does not tuck into the jacket. This jacket also has arm pit zips and adjustable wrists. The Resolve is mesh lined (which keeps you cool and comfy), the hood can fold into the collar, and it's one inch longer. Both jackets are waterproof, but I find the Resolve to be a bit thinner and not as stiff. I'm not entirely sure where the $20 differential is justified, because in my opinion the Resolve is every bit the coat the Venture is. I hope this helps!
