The North Face Resolve 2 Rain Jacket Honest Review (Rain Test)

In this North Face Resolve 2 review, we find out whether it's any good. Full review: https://hikemuch.com/north-face-resolve-2-review/ I've been using and testing the North Face Resolve 2 men's rain jacket for a few months now. I've been using it while hiking, running, cycling, and in regular daily situations. Now, I'm ready to reveal all the good and the bad about this jacket. Let's start with the good. The North Face Resolve 2 is 100% waterproof, and 100% windproof, at least based on my own tests and experience. When you wear it, it feels like you're wearing a winter jacket, because it doesn't let through any wind whatsoever. Another thing that I like, is that it fits me very well. Although it's a bit loose around the chest and the hips, that's actually good because that allows me to layer other items underneath, to achieve good warmth. Other than that, I think that the North Face Resolve 2 is a pretty good-looking rain jacket, which can also be worn daily, not only while hiking. But there are a few things that I don't like about the North Face Resolve 2 men's rain jacket. First of all, it's very bad at breathability. It's okay for hiking, walking, or commuting, but you'll get too sweaty whenever you'll be running, cycling, or doing some high-difficulty trails. Other than that, it's pretty heavy, it isn't very compact in a packed state, and the elastic sleeve cuffs are a bit too loose. I'd recommend the North Face Resolve 2 if you're looking for an affordable, fully waterproof rain jacket, that's versatile enough to be used daily, and also while hiking. But I wouldn't recommend it if you'll be doing some high-effort activities in the rain, such as running or cycling, or if you're into ultralight hiking. In those instances, you should get something lighter and more breathable, such as the Marmot Precip, or the North Face Venture 2. ▼ GEAR TESTED IN VIDEO (affiliate links) The North Face Resolve 2 ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37YCJbE) ▼ TABLE OF CONTENTS 00:00 - Beginning 00:53 - Weight & Packed Size 01:27 - Fabrics, Zippers, & Seams 02:35 - Features 03:48 - Comfort & Fit 04:40 - Wind-Resistance, Breathability, & Warmth 06:16 - Testing the Water-Resistance 07:59 - Final Verdict ▼ MY FULL GEAR LIST (affiliate links) Silverlight socks ➜ (Silverlight: https://alnk.to/4BECIUi) (15% discount code: hikemuch15) Osprey Talon 44 backpack (new model) ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pZUZHK) Black Diamond Distance FLZ trekking poles ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3xkFazq) Water filter ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3riXlDf) Cicerone guidebook ➜ 54(https://www.cicerone.co.uk/the-gr11-trail-sixth) Set of 3 dry sacks ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3bTlwBB) Tent ➜ (Rei.com: https://www.rei.com/product/168564/rei-co-op-flash-air-1-tent) Camping pillow ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MzzUWT) Decathlon Microfiber towel ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/ultra-compact-microfiber-towel-size-m-26-x-35-158324) Sleeping pad ➜ (Rei.com: https://www.rei.com/product/157892/rei-co-op-flash-thermal-sleeping-pad) Cooking pot ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2NRcywv) Spork ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3b2moVk) Silicone camping cup ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37YIOoq) Cooking stove ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37W4SzS) Power bank ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gmqRER) Headlamp ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37X41iH) Camera ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3r8OALH) Lense ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/301mCWh) ND filter ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3q5GrX1) Camera mounted microphone ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3r7Yyge) GoPro Hero 7 ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3dXVpvO) Peak designs capture clip ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3dVRQq7) Fanny pack for my camera gear ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37UJfA4) Sunglasses ➜ (https://vallon.store/collections/shop-all/products/waylons-mirror) Sea to Summit trowel ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3iHAMGB) Gear Air repair kit ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pXnnfq) Swiss Army Knife ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MAHrVr) Decathlon Down Jacket Trek 100 ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/mens-mountain-backpacking-down-jacket-trek500) Marmot PreCip rain jacket ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gqiBE3) North Face beanie ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3zqR7pd) Decathlon Evadict Mt2 ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/mens-trail-running-shoes-mt2-300547) ▼ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.instagram.com/oscarbrumelis/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oscarhikes ▼ AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE In some of our videos and articles, we sometimes use affiliate links.
