The North Face Resolve Jacket uses a lightweight mesh lining to keep it from feeling clammy, even in an absolute downpour. The waterproof breathable HyVent DT shell easily withstands the most horrendous rain you encounter on the trail, and it lets water vapor escape so you don't end up drowning in your own sweat. The North Face used a fully adjustable hood to round out the Resolve Rain Jacket's features and ensure you stay bone-dry even in nasty weather.
Bottom Line:
Stop worrying about the rain. You have The North Face Resolve Jacket to keep you dry if the weather turns bad.
I have a number of North Face items ranging from backpacks and shoes to jackets. Since it started raining again this week in May, I decided I needed to ass a lightweight rain jacket to my North Face collection so I went on the hunt. $80 for a lightweight rain jacket is not too much to ask for but being financially strapped at the moment, I could not afford he new 2011 line of Resolve jackets. Luckily, I landed on this item from the 2010 line in the Bordeaux color. I read a LOT of reviews regarding the sizing of this jacket and with some hesitant, I ordered it in an XS (it was also the only size available). I received the jacket today and I'm so happy I took the leap! My other North Face jackets are a size Small but because the Resolve Jacket does not fit to feminine curves, an XS was perfect! I am about 5'1 - 5'2 and it hit my hips perfectly and no complaints with the length of the sleeves either! I'm so happy this worked out for me and I hope this helps out any consumers on the edge due to the negative reviews about the sizing :)
The rain just beads up and falls right off this jacket! I've been suffering the Pacific Northwest Downpours in a jacket that just soaked everything right in. I got a large and the sleeves were long enough and the Bordeaux red color is gorgeous. So far I've worn it running, rowing, and as a daily rain jacket, no complaints so far!

Why are there apparently 2 Resolve Jackets? One costs more a & looks like it has a waist gather. The other looks more like a regular shell jacket. Is it men's/womens?
Its cheaper because its last seasons colors and on sale. If im looking at what you are refering to as having a waist gater I think that picture just shows the ladies cut a bit more
My Kelpie Green jacket just arrived. I love the color. My only complaint with this jacket is that the wristbands are a little snug. I bought this jacket as a cheaper replacement to my North Face Venture jacket that I lost last summer. This jacket is nice, but I wish I spent the little bit extra and got the Venture which had adjustable wrists and was slightly longer.
The jacket is quite comfortable and has a very good design so it looks good when you wear it. Make sure you measure yourself correctly before ordering because it tends to ride up. It keeps out water well, but the collar is really warm. I also like that it has tightners at the waist. I can't wait to use it again.

I need
I'm 5'10" and about 135lb (tall and skinny) I need an jacket with long sleeves. can somebody tell me sleeve length for sizes M and L? What size will you recommend in my case?
I'm 5'11 and 145lb so I have the same problem as you. I bought the jacket in a large and it fits well. I have extra room in the chest and waist area then I would prefer but it's not too bad, I also wanted to be able to wear the jacket when I was wearing a sweater.
This jacket is the best fall jacket you could ever own. It is a great piece for layering with a long sleeve T. Everybody should wear this jacket, it's as soft as a baby's butt and it's so cozy to wear.
Just went to Yosemite and wore this rain jacket during my hikes and was perfect for light rain! very light, folds pretty good and easy to carry it =) I would recommend this jacket!
I'm moving to Denver CO., where the weather will be much
I'm moving to Denver CO., where the weather will be much colder than my Seattle weather I'm used to...is this a good choice for colder weather or should I look for something a little heavier? Thanks, Rachel
The North Face Resolve Jacket has been a great purchase. It held up to torrential downpours while hiking in Hawaii while staying comfortable and cool. Fits well but can layer underneath it easily for extra warmth. I look forward to getting a lot of use out of this jacket.
The North Face Resolve jacket is the perfect rain jacket. I can't say enough nice things. It's lightweight and breathable as well as stylish! If you're wearing it in colder rainy weather you can easily layer a fleece underneath. A nice added touch is that the hood can be rolled up into a velcro collar.
I'd go with XS if I were you. I was about your size before I got pregnant. I have an XS Northface fleece and it still zips up and I am now 8 months pregnant. My XS Marmot Precip raincoat (similar to this jacket) and fleece also still fit so I would definitely go with XS unless you want to do a lot of layering.
I bought the Resolve Jacket in Guava Green before heading off to college. I debated between the Venture Jacket (also by North Face) but, after reading reviews that suggested the two were virtually identical, settled on the slightly less expensive Resolve. I couldn't be happier. The color is more vibrant and even better than pictured, and the medium fits me perfectly (I'm 5'10.5" 175lbs). You know you have a great rain jacket when you hope for inclement weather just so you can wear it! Thanks Backcountry for the low price and quick shipping...this was my first Backcountry purchase and I will definitely shop here again.
Being a North Face jacket that is a light blue color...If you want a dark Blue then some of the other North Face jacket have a deep blue or almost midnight blue...
Going on a Mediterranean cruise in May and needed something light so if it rains I won't melt while touring around. 5'9, 158lbs; the large fit perfect. Louie blue is a little loud but the family won't lose me in a crowd!
I'm from Seattle and I am debating whether I should get the
I'm from Seattle and I am debating whether I should get the Resolve or the Venture jacket. I know that the Venture is a bit thicker, but has anybody had any problems with the Resolve getting soggy? It rains a ton here, so I don't want to worry about my jacket leaking onto my clothes underneath.
I love this jacket! So glad I caught it on sale. Its perfect for the spring and summer. And the rain of course! Its not too short like some can be. And I thought that the wrists would bother me since they have an elastic around them but they are not tight on the wrists at all. No complaints here. And the sizes on this jacket in particular seem very accurate unlike some others.
Is this jacket zip in compatible with the Denali Fleece from
Is this jacket zip in compatible with the Denali Fleece from North Face? I am looking for a shell to go with the Denali Fleece zip in system... got anything for that?
While you will have no problem wearing the resolve jacket over the denali, the resolve jacket is not zip in compatible. For Denali zip in compatible shells check out the Mountain Light Jacket, Varius Guide Jacket and Perilune Jacket. Hope that helps!
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!
Unfortunately, no, the Resolve does not have any inner media pocket at all. It strictly has 2 side pockets. North Face jackets are very "minimal" when it comes to pocket provision and media pockets/Napolean pockets, bicep pockets, etc. mostly come at the higher range jackets where it is deemed to be "needed" by their design team.
I agree with the previous person who posted; it's really thin. It's also very light weight, feels like nothing. I was expecting something a little more insulated, but it gets the job done when it comes to campus life and the unpredictable rainy Oregon weather. I'm 5'5", approx 120 lbs, slightly longer torso and Asian/small build and ordered the XS. I wasn't able to try on a jacket prior to buying it, so I was surprised by how short the jacket is as it only comes down to the top of my hips. One problem I do have with the jacket is the length of the sleeves (I have this problem with most TNF items, so maybe it's just me and my arms); the XS fits fine in the torso but the sleeves are always short (comes down to the bony point of my wrist). The sleeves of S are longer but the rest of the jacket is huge. The jacket is also boxy looking until you cinch in the bottom. The XS was roomy enough for me to wear TNF Pumori fleece jacket underneath (but the Resolve is not a zip-incompatible item). In retrospect, the size S might have been a better choice, since no one likes wet, cold hands when it's raining.
This is a great lightweight waterproof jacket, and very stylish too! I have the Kelly Green color and it goes with everything! Great for hiking in misty wet weather or just walking around New York city in the rain! However, it is not a cold-weather coat, more for tropical/spring rain than winter. Can't wait to wear it on my trip around the world!
Hey guys,
I needed an opinion, i am 5'8 and i weigh about
Hey guys, I needed an opinion, i am 5'8 and i weigh about 172 lbs and i cannot decide if i should get a medium or a large? i dont want it to be too tight, i do want to wear something under it? i cant decide!!
This is a great all weather jacket; it is light, durable, and blocks wind along with rain well. I bought it for a trip to the EU and it worked out perfectly...it is roomy enough to put over another coat for when it is really cold and wet! I highly reccomend!
Hey, everyone. I was wondering, I recently ordered a large Resolve
Hey, everyone. I was wondering, I recently ordered a large Resolve jacket in Women's. I am 5'5 and weigh 130 pounds. I'm afraid this is too large. What do you think?
Yes, I think that is too large. I think you need a Medium if you want to layer a fleece underneath it and a small if you don't want to layer underneath it.
My girlfriend has the Venture and she loves it. She lives in Seattle and deals constant rain and misty conditions. Im sure you cant go wrong with either, but the Venture is a better all around jacket in my option. Hope that helps!
The biggest difference comes in the materials and there construction. The Resolve is a 2L construction and is meshed lined; were the Venture uses a 2.5L construction, which is lighter and requires no lining.
The Resolve is a little longer of a jacket (1" longer). Other than that, fit and features are comparable. Both are waterproof and make a good rain jacket.
A variety of shipping options are available- they are displayed once you add you items to the cart. Order do ship from Salt Lake City, so depending on were you live, even with standard shipping, most packages will be delivered within a few days.
Just got this jacket and its so cute on. I usually wear a large and the L fit great. NF's sizes are acurate and true. Much more flattering than the older Columbia rain jacket I used in Oregon for many years now. The Brown one is sick! and just like other reviews would have liked it to be a bit longer but still it goes down at least 3/4 of the way past my booty. :)
i'd like to determine whether a size S or M would work best
i'd like to determine whether a size S or M would work best for me in this north face resolve jacket. i don't want it to be baggy - i do like to be able to wear just 1-2 layers under this jacket. I am size 33-34 bust, 28-29 waist, 38 hips. any educated suggestions? thanks!
I live in Seattle so i was really concerned about this jackets durability and ability to repel the rain. Not only does it keep me toasty but dry as a bone!The color goes with alot of my boots and is very stylish! ~Great Buy~!
How is the hood? Does it cover your entire head and more. I dislike
How is the hood? Does it cover your entire head and more. I dislike when the hood barely stays on, especially when my hair is in a pony tail. Thank you.
I was so excited to get this jacket when I ordered it but it didn't look like the image when I tried on. I'm 5'2 and about 120lb and usually wear size 0-2. I got a size xs. The shoulder was bigger and the sleeves were longer too. But I think it's still great price and quality.
Good job that u've checked the North Face website.
Blue Tide & Moonlight Ivory are past season colors (2009), hence the reduced prices. Pop Pink, Chinese Red, Black, Guava Green correspond to the North Face's current website colors, hence the full pricing at $79.95. Backcountry cuts 5-cents off the retail pricing.
For your information, Backcountry is the last place i'd find imitation products.
So far I'm completely satisfied. I've worn it in a downpour, although not for long, and I've worn it for an extended period in lighter rain, and stayed totally dry. It does run a bit big, but that means I can layer underneath it, and if I don't need extra layers, I cinch it in at the bottom.
Could anyone possibly compare the Resolve with Sierra Designs'
Could anyone possibly compare the Resolve with Sierra Designs' Hurricane jacket and the Columbia Wildwood Wow? I'm going to college soon and will need a rain jacket. I picked out products in a comparable price range, which is a bout the most I want to pay, and if anyone could tell me which one is best that would be helpful.
I bought this jacket for my 13 yr old daughter for Christmas. Apparently I did good!! She was very excited and her friends who have other North Face jackets were very impressed! Living in the Pacific Northwest entails the surprise of "many changes" in weather during the week! This Resolve Jacket has "resolved" that issue! According to the "Teen Queen", it's very comfortable and versatile for everything! She's 5'3" and is about 120ish pounds..got her a medium and it fits her so that she can wear a t-shirt and a not-too-thick sweatshirt hoodie under it. Length is just below her "bum" and she says she can do some kinda "scrunchie-thing" to it and "it makes it to her waist"!
the chinese red is very bright, like a cherry red, not like cranberry or orangy. the color is not muted at all to me. it is really nice. i ordered the pop pink and chinese red, and i loved both, but i loved the pink a little more.
This jacket's is exactly what I wanted. The jacket does its job... the sizing is a little weird like from xs to s differs by quite a bit so be careful! BUT they weren't lying about fast shipping, I chose the economy shipping(free) said it takes about 7-14 weeks but I received in just 2 days!!
This is what rain jackets are suppose to be like. The cuffs (elastic) keep out the rain. I went for a run the other day in a downpour to really test it out...remained fry--except for my legs. Even had my cellphone in one of the pockets. Definitely worth the price.
This jacket was light weight, packable, and waterproof. It is perfect for those summer rains when it is hot out but you don't want to get soaked. This is not a jacket meant to keep you warm but will keep you very dry and cool in a rainy spring and summer.
The jacket itself is great; my critiques of it are more cosmetic...it is lightweight and lends itself well to layering, so it can work in any season, and it does breathe well, as well as being waterproof. The hood is annoying because it doesn't stay up on its own in windy weather, and contrary to what another reviewer said elsewhere, I don't think it's necessary to buy a size up--I did, and it looks too baggy on me, so I wish I'd gone with my normal size. It's still a really great rain jacket and overall I'm happy with my purchase!
Im 5'8'' and about 135-140 lbs and I got an adult small and I like it alot. The bottomof it comes to my hips and I do not like my jackets saggy or long so I like the fit however if that does not suit you then it might be best to get the adut medium. The bottom has a cord to tighten or loosen it but does not have elastic all the way around. The only thing i do not like is the elastic sleeves I wish I had gotten the one with adjustable sleeves. But all in all i like this jacket.
I love this jacket! It's pretty breathable and it's really waterproof. I had to sit in some serious downpour for over 3 hours and by the end of it I was the only one dry (from the waist up)! You really get what you are paying for. The mesh liner is a little awkward at first but once it's broken in you don't even notice it. I wear it even when it's not raining!
there isn't a ton of difference between the two jackets, but the venture is made from a slightly higher quality form of Hyvent (a proprietary material). Its also lighter by 4 oz. Not a ton of difference...
The Resolve jacket is great! I wore it in a downpour the other day, and everything under my jacket stayed completely dry. I was happy to have the elastic cuffs to keep the water out. It fits a little longer and looser, which is makes it nice to put on a layer or two underneath.
Hi - This jacket will only keep you warm in terms of protecting you from the wind and keeping you dry. Otherwise, this shell is uninsulated and you would need to layer underneath it to keep warm. Hope this helps
I was deciding whether to purchase this jacket versus several other more stylish and more expensive jackets. I chose this jacket because it was a bit more affordable and am happy with the results. I didn't want to spend more than $100 for a jacket that I wouldn't wear that much, but it does it's job. I like the color and fit.
I'm about 5'3" and 107 lbs. I think I should get an xs, but I don't want the sleeves to be too short. Any ideas? Also, is the fit slim? because baggier jackets end up drowning me.
The North Face is one of the few brands that makes extra small jackets that really are small and slim-fitting. I usually drown in other brands' "extra-small" sizes too. I'm 5'2", around 110 lbs (but extra slim on top). My arms are proportionate to my height--not freakishly short or long-- and my xs North Face jacket's sleeves end just shy of my fingertips when I hold my arms straight down, and at my wrist when I stretch my arms straight up.
First of all i look real good in my light blue weather resistant with a hood northface jacket, i can wear it in any condition mother nature has for that day.
i prefer the venture for running because it is much more breathable and tehe armpit zips are great for getting just enough air to cool you down, but not soak you (i live in northwest WA)
This jacket really doesn't breathe enough to comfortably run in. There are other jackets out there that are more suited for fall running. I used mine once last year for running 5 miles in light rain and it was around 50 degrees. I sweat quite a bit and this jacket simply does not breathe enough.
I'd only wear the resolve if you are running in the rain. It does breath but it is so much more comfy and practical to use some like the The North Face Windstopper Active Jacket for crisp fall cardio missions!
Well, it's better than a poncho and would usually keep the chill off of you, but it isn't really lined or insulated for warmth. It's essentially a plain shell with a lot of nice small features (nice if they are what you're looking for) but it's ultimately a shell. -also, they tend to run a big
This is a very functional jacket and works great for blocking wind and rain- two things I would look for if I were to get a more expensive jacket would be a snugger fit on the hood with a little more duck bill on it to block rain to the face and I would also rather have velcro fit sleeves vs the elastic sleeves that this jacket has. On the upside, I would not send this jacket back because it works great and it was a good price when I got it.
Write your answer here... I am 5"7 and weigh around 170. I have broad shoulders too, so I got an XL. I really don't like for jackets to fit/fit. If I were buying your daughter a jacket, I would buy a large. Good luck!
I just got mine in the mail a few days ago and I am so excited to wear it and show it off! It is true to size and fits great and comfortable! My fleece jacket fits great underneath for extra warmth! Looked at other jackets and they can't compare plus you get a lifetime warrenty on the jackets! Can't go wrong! Love it!
Bought both the XS and Small for size comparison... the XS is both shorter length-wise but also shorter in arm length. I am 5' 5", 120 lbs, and the XS was just too small. The small feels a tad big but gives room to wear a fleece underneath. This is a very light rain jacket perfect for stowing in a backpack or bag. I took it on a recent trip to Southern California where we were expecting rain. I packed it in my carryon, and it saved me when we arrived in a downpour. Great basic rainjacket made out of good materials.
Probably medium. I am 5'6" with really long arms and weigh 120 and I always go small in north face...and it's always really roomy. So I would guess you could go for the smaller size if you are in between.
I bought this for my 13-year-old for Christmas primarily as a rain jacket and to say she loves it would be an understatement. It has the "cool factor" having the North Face logo but it is also extremely functional. It doesn't have any insulation but with layers she can wear it out on a cold day and remain comfortable. Being waterproof, it is also perfect for rainy mornings at the bus stop. She really will be able to wear this all year round. She is only about 5'2" and the length is perfect ... not sure if she would consider it too short if she was significantly taller. She is string bean thin and an adult small is just right with plenty of room for layers. All in all, a great jacket ... I was very pleased with Backcountry.com's service and prompt delivery. I will definitely be shopping with them again!
Bought this jacket as a gift. Have been satisfied with any North Face jacket that I have ever purchased. This jacket is light weight, goes well over sweaters and vents so that it is not too hot. Great buy!
Black is last seasons black (which is why it is discounted), while black/black is this seasons black. Other than that no real difference. Hopefully that makes sense.
I have looked everywhere online and at Dick's Sporting Goods and I can not find a 1X rain jacket in any color. In men's sizes the only thing I can find is in black. Big girls like to wear pretty colors too.
I live in Vancouver BC and it rains a lot here. I got my jacket 1 month ago and it is wonderful, totally waterproof and lighweight - great for me and this climate. Would totally recommend this jacket, actually I did and my husband just got one for himself.
please help! i have such horrible luck with buying outdoor gear
please help! i have such horrible luck with buying outdoor gear online. i am 5'6" about 112 lbs and have a very narrow build. if i get an xs will it be way short on the sleeves? then if i get a small will it just be too big in general? also is this jacket fitted at all? i bought a sierra designs kenosha jacket which had an 'athletic fit' and it was not flattering. i just want something to wear over sweatshirts when it gets rainy in missoula, montana.
The shoulders are not reinforced, however the shell of the jacket is a ripstop nylon and mesh lined so it should have no problem holding up to hiking with a backpack.
I love this jacket! It's exactly what I was looking for and perfect for rainy days in NC. The fit is great and the price was within my range. Great jacket when compared to more expensive similar styles.
I bought this jacket a while ago and I have used it under heavy rain here in Costa Rica and it is just great, I didn't get wet, not even a tiny bit. It is very light and comfortable and it has enough space to wear a sweater under it if you need to. I got the red one and the color is super. Totally recommended!

I looked at the venture, then at the resolve and im having toruble deciding between the two. Is the Resolve warm enough to go skiing in? and is the venture?

Write your question here...Am trying to decide between the Resolve and the Venture. I know both will keep me dry but which one would be cooler in tropical temperatures? It is hot and humid during the rainy season where I live.
I am moving to China and this jacket is going to be perfect for those rainy days. China has insane humidity and this jacket is the perfect weight for the weather. The jacket fits true to size and the hood is perfect for rain. You actually don't get your head wet and the hood won't blow off! Great customer service from Backcountry.com's support staff. They were the main reason I bought the jacket. North Face makes great products as well and I can't wait to get more use out of my jacket as I travel through Asia!
Will you be manufacturing more of this jacket (e.g., black or
Will you be manufacturing more of this jacket (e.g., black or dark blue medium) when the last ones are bought? Or will another type of jacket take its place?
They are continuing to make this model. They will be re-stocking it for the upcoming fall/winter season. I would just check back often to see if it has been re-stocked in the color and size you are looking for.
