Upon watching this review I bought this jacket on sale from TNF. Excellent review. Since purchase I have used it for hiking on a medium difficulty trail. Everything he says is exactly correct.
One of the best reviews I’ve seen. You guys take it through the specs and different scenarios. I bought this jacket recently and your recommendation at the end is exactly how I use it. I happen to love it for what I use it for. Definitely subscribing!
This is the best review I have seen for this jacket. I have the Resolve 1, which is a little heavier and I think that the Resolve 2 would be perfect for the Southern California evenings.
I just brought the red one because it looks sexy especially on me , if I like it I might get a yellow or black one as well. Probably should have watched the review first but it worked out this time. Nice review btw!.
crazy i just bought a size Large i am only 5'10 i wasnt able to try it on but north face runs big for some reason, i am a big guy so i thought this would fit, now this jacket is hard to get now in that color, i have to wait till it comes home to try it on thank god they have a bunch of Medium sizes left so if th elarge doest fit i can return it for a M size.. i thought when you wear rain jackets i thought you wanted them bigger incase you want to wear something underneath..
Venture 2 is more breathable, and both are similarly baggy. Resolve 2 seems to be a bit shorter, so my hips are sometimes showing when I put my hands up.
I'd say they're sized on the larger side. I always get everything in medium, and I still have a lot of room under this jacket. You can skip to 03:48, where I show my own measurements and how it fits for me.
I just went to try these on and I have to go a size larger because it was tight in my back shoulders (I have broad shoulders) .. I also prefer to layer with a hoodie just in case I want to layer up and use as light ski jacket.
Windbreakers are usually much more breathable, thinner and more comfortable, and aren't waterproof. The North Face Resolve 2 is definitely a rain jacket, as it's waterproof, very good at wind-resistance, and kind of bulky. Windbreakers are better for running, hunting, cycling, and other outdoor activities where you don't care about getting wet.
Hey. Yep, I also own the North Face Venture 2. I will review it in the future and do a side by side comparison as well, but at the moment I'm dealing with moving to another country, so it might take a while. In a few words, I prefer the Venture 2 because of my lifestyle. It's much lighter, it packs down smaller into it's own pocket, and it's much better at breathability - you don't get sweaty when cycling, running or hiking. However, I will choose the Resolver 2 in colder days, just because it's warmer and in my opinion looks better. For instance, it would be a much better choice if you'd be hiking in the mountains in 5-10 degree Celsius windy conditions. I find myself in these temperatures and winds rarely, which is why I use the Venture 2 much more often. Oh and the rain-resistance seems to be the same - both of them are basically waterproof. Hope this helps!
Hike Much good luck with your house move 👍 thanks for your response. Look forward to that overview in another video after your house move 👍 Thanks again 👍
Is the hood absolutely enormous or is my jacket just defective? If I pull the draw strings it simply restricts my vision as it only tightens the opening of the hood. I have to wear a hat with hood to keep it out of my face regardless of how I adjust it. I could easily wear a bike helmet in this hood and probably have room to spare, and I have a big ass head.
Well, the hood is definitely quite large. But I wouldn't say that it's enormous, which is why I didn't mention that in the video. When I'm cycling with this jacket with the hood on, because I have to tilt my head back when sitting on a bicycle, the hood does get in my view a bit but not too much. But then again, I rarely wear this jacket when I'm cycling because it's kinda bad at the breathability. When hiking normally, I wouldn't say that the hood feels too large, at least for me.
No worries man, The whole overall fit of the jacket is on the large side, i wouldn't even class this as just a rain coat, i wear this is winter and it keeps me very warm with a sweatshirt underneath, it's a decent all round jacket
The white inner liner gets brittle and peels in a horrible way. After that even the lightest rain will get you soaked. Most over priced jacket I have ever owned.

Are there inside pockets?
@@mrwolf41 haven’t worn it in a while. My instinct is telling me that it does not. But I’ll get back to you…
@@mrwolf41 I have one and no it does not
Start making more of these jacket reviews specifically popular ones seriously I think this channel has a lot of potential
Thanks a lot. I definitely will, already have a bunch of jackets to test out. Just waiting for some rain, haha.

Seriously amazing review my man!
This is the best review I have seen for this jacket. I have the Resolve 1, which is a little heavier and I think that the Resolve 2 would be perfect for the Southern California evenings.
This is a very good review and what I was looking for just before buying. Thank you and I subbed!
Very thorough I thought. I wanted to know the price point though. Thanks for taking the time to make this review. ✌️🍄🎸🏂

The best review I ever saw.Thanks Oscar.
Great review! Thank you so much. This jacket is on sale right now and I have considered picking one up. I think you have convinced me!

Best review on UA-cam
Couldn’t ask for a better review
Excellent review. Thaks!
Would you say this jacket would keep you warm in the Autumn months?
If I'd be wearing something warm underneath, then yes, definitely. It's really good at wind protection, which makes it very warm.
nice vid !!!. I love this jacket.
Amazing review!
My question is: Would you recommend this jacket over The North Face Quest Insulated?
Thanks, but I haven't tried that one unfortunately.
70 denier nylon is stronger than polyester, so this North Face Resolve 2 would be my pick :)
Thanks its a perfect review and so helpful😇
Amazing review
which should i buy triclimate or resolve 2 and fleece ? which is better
Great review!
Awesome review, thank you!
Gracias por la reseña en español! :)
I see you list the marmot in your gear selection, so how would you compare it vs the the venture2/resolve you have reviewed
awesome review 👍 just purchased one :)
How did it go with the jacket?
Now compared to the venture 2, which jackets more breathable? And which ones more baggy?
Venture 2 is more breathable, and both are similarly baggy. Resolve 2 seems to be a bit shorter, so my hips are sometimes showing when I put my hands up.
@@OscarHikes it’s funny how another UA-camr said the resolve 2 is more breathable. Another guy said the venture 2 makes his sweat a lot
Do they run small? I’m usually a 2x in shirts but I have very wide shoulders
I'd say they're sized on the larger side. I always get everything in medium, and I still have a lot of room under this jacket. You can skip to 03:48, where I show my own measurements and how it fits for me.
Get a size smaller, they definitely run large
I just went to try these on and I have to go a size larger because it was tight in my back shoulders (I have broad shoulders) .. I also prefer to layer with a hoodie just in case I want to layer up and use as light ski jacket.
I'm usually a 2xl but I went ahead and ordered the 3xl version and it fits great
Great video!
Very cool, I have one.
Nice Review!
bonjour, a comparison with Jack Wolfskin JWP?
Спасибо ) Good review!
Can you. zip in North face fleece?
How can you have a 38.5 waist? You look much too slim. Is that not the same as trouser waist size?
I was a bit skinny fat when I made that video. I've lost 10kg's since, and the jacket still looks good. 😅
спасибо за обзор, тоже присматриваюсь к ней
Можно ли подстегивать утепление к этой мембране?
hey can review north face quest jacket
Haven't planned that one yet, but I'll review the North Face Venture 2 pretty soon!
Is a wind breaker a rain jacket?
Windbreakers are usually much more breathable, thinner and more comfortable, and aren't waterproof. The North Face Resolve 2 is definitely a rain jacket, as it's waterproof, very good at wind-resistance, and kind of bulky. Windbreakers are better for running, hunting, cycling, and other outdoor activities where you don't care about getting wet.
I notice in a different review you were wearing a venture jacket! Can you review that? Can you also do a sort of side by side with this jacket?

These jackets fit large, so you need to get the next size down from your usual size
@@marcp3788 good to know, thanks!

north face has warranty on the materials, send it back., I wouldn't consider that to be normal wear and tear if it is acting like that.
Lavar ciclo delicado poco tiempo a mano ,no mezclar con otras prendas
Thanks, great review
