The North Face Women’s Resolve Jacket Review: Is It Worth It?
Happy Monday everyone. So I hope you have had a lovely weekend? A few weeks ago Blacks kindly asked me if I would like to pick a Spring jacket to review.
How lovely of them!
My padded ski jacket is now starting to get a bit to warm, now the weather is getting milder.
So on Sunday and the first day of Spring I got to wear my jacket on an adventure me and the children had up at the park.
My children have just discovered Geocaching and wanted to share the fun with me.
Have you heard of this before? If not, it is a app on your phone that points you in the right direction to a hidden treasure container.
There are treasure boxes all over the world.
When you find the container there is a book inside that you sign and date to say you have found it.
We are going to start looking for them when we explore around where we live and when we visit new places.
Anyway onto the jacket: How lovely is my jacket? Light green on the outside with a nice pink mesh lining. Very stylish.
Whoo and it is waterproof too. I love it and how beautiful is the colour?

The North Face Women’s Resolve Jacket Review: Is It Worth It? What Do I Think?
The North Face Women’s Resolve Jacket Review: Is It Worth It?
My Verdict: Yes – for a lightweight everyday waterproof jacket, I really liked it. I also think it is worth the money.
The biggest things I love about the Resolve are how lightweight it feels, the flattering shape, the bright lining and the fact that it keeps the rain out without feeling like a bulky winter coat.
I’d particularly recommend it for spring walks, everyday errands, travel and those changeable British-weather days when you need something waterproof but don’t want to wear a heavy coat.
It’s not a warm winter coat, so I’d layer it with a jumper or fleece when temperatures drop. But for a lightweight waterproof jacket, it does exactly what I wanted it to do.
I love it for spring and milder-weather days. It’s lightweight, comfortable and waterproof without the bulk of a winter coat.
Here’s what I thought about the fit, style, features and how useful it is for everyday wear.
I love my new jacket. It is lightweight, stylish, a lovely colour and waterproof. It is going to come in very handy over the next few months.
Perfect for the April showers! Don’t you think so too?

The jacket is lovely although as a hiker I would've loved it if you'd given more about the details of the jacket ie how many pockets, how sturdy are the fastnings, what's the hood like – is it detachable or does it roll up into the collar of the jacket?I've not done Geocaching – must try it, sounds alot of fun! Thanks for hosting.
Author
Thanks for the comment. Aww sorry I forgot to add a few bits. The jacket has 2 pockets and the hood rolls away nicely. As a hiker I bet you would love Geocaching as you would find them all over.
Love the pop of pink on that jacket and it is the perfect weight for this time of year. Gotta love kids, my son was always my harshest fashion critic!Debbie
