The Venture Jacket all started with features like a brimmed hood, cuff closures and a chin guard to make long, cold, wet days more bearable. Then we went with the quietest, 100% waterproof microsuede known to man. To really go all in, we gave the Venture a super-deep chest pocket with rangefinder lanyard and compression sleeves that won't interfere with your bowstring when the moment of truth arrives.

Reviews

Best jacket on the market

"This is by far the best hunting jacket I've ever own. I went with one size larger than I normally would and worked out perfect for layering under."

— Stetson (5/5)

This jacket is warm! Its

"This jacket is warm! Its light weight and will be perfect for my elk hunt coming up! I cannot wait to get this out on the mountainside. True to badlands quality, these seem like they are going to hold up nicely. I wore this over a thick hoodie and could move freely. If you like to layer heavy you may size up just for a little extra room."

— Robert M. (5/5)

Flawless

"Have worn this jacket every deer season since 2021 and it is 100% flawless"

— Robert J. (5/5)

Great Jacket

"Warm, and wind proof. I used it last season in a brutal Northern Michigan winter. Worth every penny."

— Michael (5/5)

This jacket was amazing! It

"This jacket was amazing! It was warm, comfortable and wind proof. Weather ranged from 15 degrees to 40 degrees at 11,300 ft in Colorado elk hunting season 4. Had to layer with a fleece when still hunting. Material is quiet, like really quiet, not sure how they designed it but I will never buy another brand."

— John R. (5/5)

Pretty good but not perfect

"Jacket performs well in most wet conditions , is warm and comfortable and is also quiet. But 2 things id change are the neck stitcing is rough and can be itchy, and adding a more quiet layer on the inside of the hood would be nice as the current material makes its very hard to hear anything while the hoodie is on."

— Jose M. (4/5)

Venture jacket

"Been waiting to get this jacket until it go cooler in South Texas and glad I did. Came in just in time for the cool front and very happy about the jacket. Fits perfect and very warm! Love the zipper vents on the sides. Badlands never fails!"

— Jordan M. (5/5)

Venture jacket short term review

"Great jacket. Runs true to size. I really like that ability to unzip armpits to dump heat and the amount of pockets is great. After a few walks through thick brush the material seems very durable."

— Ryan M. (5/5)

Overall nice coat not as

"Overall nice coat not as quiet as I would like but still excellent product"

— Gerald C. (4/5)

Great fitting jacket! 6’ 1

"Great fitting jacket! 6’ 1 200 and the XL fits great with room for layering. Not as warm as I hoped."

Q&A

What’s the weight of the venture jacket?
Brad, the Venture Jacket in a size large weighs 30 oz!
How compressible is this in comparison to the exo jacket, and how much of a warming layer would the exo be in comparison to this jacket.
Josh, the Exo Set is a rain shell, and does not have any insulation. The Venture jacket features 80-grams of PrimaLoft Hi-Loft Insulation in the chest and 40-grams in the arms which will keep you much warmer in addition to keeping you dry. The Venture Jakcet can pack down to about 10x6x8" or slightly bigger than a football. The Exo is a bit more packable and will pack down to about 10x4x4".
What pair of pants would match with these jacket? Looking at the options the only warm, water and windproof option is the pyre bibs, which are too much pants for this jacket. Thanks.
heavyd, we do not have a matching pant at this time. You would need the Resist Pant and the Catalyst Pant to match this jacket.
Is this jacket going to be available in the approach camo pattern in the future
Eddy, unfortunately the Venture Jacket in the Approach pattern has been discontinued. This product will only be in Approach FX going forward.
I’m 6’3” and 230lbs. Wondering which size you would recommend. I’m torn between the XL and XXL. Any suggestions?
Jeremy, I would recommend ordering the size that you normally order in jackets!
