And there’s nothing like a rainy weather protector like The North Face raincoats. When looking for a raincoat, keep in mind that The North Face has introduced new technologies when needed and improved classics that sell themselves in hopes to keep another generation of the consumers’ favourites at the top of their sale charts.

This has proven particularly true with two of The North Face’s most popular raincoats, the Venture and the Resolve. Available in men’s, women’s and youth sizes, these raincoats offer the basic weather protection you need whether you’re on a winding trail through mountain peaks or simply enjoying a weekend stroll through your town’s farmer’s market. Both of these models are part of The North Face raincoats classic roster and are back this year with a second edition design. Not sure which one is best for you? We’ve compared the two models below so read on to learn more.

Venture 2

Although very similar to the Resolve 2, the Venture 2 is a slightly more technical raincoat. While many of the features are shared between the two models, a few key standout features found in the Venture that are not present in the Resolve are zippered armpit vents and adjustable cuffs. The interior of the Resolve features an airy yet durable mesh lining and is crafted with a 2L material whereas the Venture is crafted with a 2.5L material. Having been crafted from 2.5L rather than 2L fabric, the waterproofness of the Venture is a more reliable choice for consistently wet conditions.

Both waterproof jackets have reasonable price points and will offer basic weather protection needed to get by on drizzly days. If you are searching for something a little more rugged but not quite ready to make the step to Gore-Tex, the Venture 2 is a great rain shell for your outdoor, wet weather activities.
