The Men's Venture Jacket from The North Face is a technical, best-selling, rain jacket because of its ability to withstand severe storms while keeping weight at a minimum. The Men's Venture Jacket is improved for Spring 2011 as it now uses natural castor oil in its shell fabric which reduces the use of petroleum products by 50%. Not only does this improvement makes sense for the environment, but it enhances the waterproof performance of the HyVent DT fabric. The hood on this jacket is adjustable and the entire jacket stows in one of the zip hand pockets.
