Is the Ridgelite WP warm enough for cold weather?

No. It is a lightweight waterproof shell with no insulation, so it blocks rain and wind but adds little warmth. Wear a fleece or base layer under it in cold conditions.

The jacket is designed to pack down small into a pack or bag, which is its main selling point for running and hiking. It is not a self-stuffing pocket design.

What sizes does it come in?

It is listed in XS, S, M and XXL in a regular fit, with a 25.25-inch back length at hip level. Availability varies by size and store.

Does it have vents for running?

The listed features do not include pit zips. Breathability comes from the fabric, so expect it to feel warmer on hard efforts than a vented shell.

How does the Ridgelite WP compare with the Venture 2?

Both are waterproof, hooded The North Face shells. The Ridgelite WP is the lighter, more packable option aimed at running and hiking, while the Venture 2 is a heavier general-purpose rain jacket with more pockets and venting.

About the The North Face Women's Ridgelite WP Jacket

The Ridgelite WP is a lightweight, packable women's rain shell from The North Face, built with a nylon face and recycled materials, sealed seams and a hood. It is aimed at running and hiking, with encased-elastic cuffs, zippered hand pockets and reflective details, and it packs down small. It competes with other packable shells on weight and packability rather than on features: there are no pit zips and no chest pocket, and it adds no warmth.
