Men's Resolve 2 Jacket

Good fit, as expected. Color is "Fiery Red" and it is a pretty vivid red, good for visibility in the dark, is true to that shown in the color options. Cuffs are decently elasticized to limit wind and water entry. Only two pockets, external and zippered, sufficiently sized. I wish there had been an internal pocket. Jacket features a main zipper all the way up to the full collar with four long, intermittent strips of hook and loop on the flap to limit water and wind reaching the zipper. The collar has a thin felt layer for comfort against the neck and chin. The non-removable hood is plenty deep, yet not overly so and does not obstruct level vision, and folds to store in the collar. The jacket has an interior mesh lining to assist ventilation. The hood and and waistline have drawstrings for sizing and limiting wind and rain entry. The North Face logo is of the same color as the jacket, so is not very noticeable. Some people might prefer it to be of a contrasting color, but that might require a different material that might create opportunities for water leakage. The seams are tape-sealed. Overall workmanship appears to be good. I had purchased two other name-brand rain jackets but returned them for issues like excessive hood depth, excessive cuff openings and "sticky" urethane feel. Although they had features that were attractive, overall they were not as satisfactory as this The North Face rain jacket.I've only tested this in light rain, so after a good, hard rain I'll hopefully enter a very positive rating on that final aspect.

I am an all time North Face fan. I am planning to go to hiking every Saturday starting this weekend, so I wanted to buy something for myself, as a Christmas Gift. I am about 185 pounds, 43" chest with 5 foot 10 inch height.Normally, I order Large for my regular clothing, but I did not want to be too loose. So I ordered it Medium which was a good choice.it fits me perfect, not too tight, not too loose. I will just wear a t-shirt inside and this jacket will do just fine.The material used is very high quality and it claims that it is IS waterproof. It is light and flexible, so it will be a perfect hiking jacket in December Los Angeles weather.I like this jacket and probably I will go back to North Face again whenever I need another one.

I love this jacket. I've bought two so far, a green one for work I've had for a few years and the latest one which is navy that I'm rating now. There's a slight difference in the hood size between my older green resolve and my newer purchase, it's a bit smaller but nothing to complain about. The hood is adjustable and can be tucked away under the collar if its not needed. Everything else is exactly the same. It keeps me dry, warm and it's comfortable. The length of the jacket sits just below my belt about an inch which is perfect for me. The arms, back and chest are not tight and I would say I have an athletic build. I was actually surprised by how warm it kept me. It wouldn't be suited for the snow but for a rainy season and/or a slight breeze it's perfect. If your looking for a new rain coat or even a wind breaker this jacket is a must buy.

Great jacket.. This review will be honest and to the point. I purchased the venture 2 from North face and while it is a great coat it is for hikers looking to pack light and the differences are there in the proof. The resolve is also a great coat and I settled on this jacket for it's intended uses rain, wind our just out on the town. The mesh lining is what I wanted and a little more weight to if I want to layer. The resolve 2 is a great jacket if people have negative reviews they may have ordered this coat thru Amazon thru third party seller and sometimes we know how goes. This coat is 100% authentic and is great if you need a rain wind our just looking for q well made lighter coat for spring our fall get this jacket. If you are looking to hike the trails go for the venture 2 but just know they both great coats have there specific details built in.
