The North Face: Men's Apex Bionic Jacket - 60 Reviews
2006-04-17Sprisingly nice Great jacket for all kinds of workout stuff. Breathes really well yet still keeps you warm. About the only time you can't wear it is when it really is warm. Excellent in wind, not just waterproof but the surface is also somewhat stain resistant. If you normally wear a large get a medium as this isn't the kind of jacket you'd want to wear oversized (unless you're just a poser :-) About all it lacks is a hood or a drawstring at the neck (2006 comes with wrist and waist snuggers). Also, the pockets are the vents, so think before you stash. Great for the price.

Leeann Eberhardt - 2008-01-09warm in the winter! We just got back from skiing, and this jacket was perfect. In snowy, wintery weather - we had a normal fleece pullover with this jacket. It was warm enough that we ditched the fleece for the afternoon. It is clean cut and a great jacket.

Read all 60 reviews... Kevin C. - 2008-01-31Excellent jacket. Great jacket, works in all but the highest wind. Anything at 30 mph or above and you will feel the breeze cut through the jacket. Seems a little stiff at first. The sleeves on the jacket run long.

2008-02-1512-15-08 I bought this jacket for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it!! He travels for his job and it's lightweight enough that it packs easily. It's perfect for the cooler climates that he is in while watching games in various states! He wants a couple more in different colors!

Matthew - 2008-04-12A great outer and mid layer I first bought this jacket in Fall 2007 in advance of the Minnesota winter. I was attracted to it by it's excellent fit, it's wind-proofing and to it's moderate water proofing. It has not let me down. It folds neatly into a daypack for temporary relief from unexpected showers as an outer layer. It excels however in windy conditions either as an outer layer up to about 30 mph but also as a mid layer when the gales are howling. Excellent thermal properties allows it to be used as a midlayer whilst skiing, or even as an outer layer on the milder days in SE Minnesota. I am not as keen on the colors for 08/09 so I am buying up two more for the year ahead. On a note of caution, it is an excellent fit for the slim / average build. If above average build, it might be worth trying it on first. That withstanding, I am happy to get this my fullest endorsement.

Mills - 2008-04-09Nice Jacket I bought this jacket and returned it only bc I was looking more for a fleece jacket that zips into a NF shell. The jacket felt good and looked great too. Felt durable even though its a lighter weight jacket. Would recommend it to anyone.
Is this Handy? - Yes - No
Chris C. - 2007-10-02Great jacket I wear this jacket under a synthetic motorcycle jacket for extra warmth while riding. Works very well at keeping the wind out, and the outside material is great for sliding another jacket on top. I usually wear an XL, but I bought a large in this and if fits nicely... a bit tapered fit and plenty of sleeve length. Wonderful jacket.

Shawn I. - 2008-03-26Great Jacket For Rapidly Changing Weather I wanted a jaket for the Spring and live in the upper Midwest. Weather goes from rainy and 40 degrees to 20 degrees and snowy in a day. This Jacket performed perfectly where I wasn't too hot, kept the moisture out, and was very warm on windy days. It runs a bit large so try one on at the local sports store before ordering online. I have a Mountain Hardware heavy Fleece I wear an XL in and I stuck with a large in this jacket. Sleeves are a bit long, but have velcro wrist snuggers to keep them from getting annoying. Love the chest pocket and use it for my iPod. Overall great coat.

Mark Shepard - 2008-03-26the best compared to the rest This jacket is great! It is what I have been looking for for a long time. the staff at Altrec was great. My first choice wasn't in my size so they directed me to the apex bionic and I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for the help and the great service.

2006-10-16Love this jacket! A middle layer dream come true! I use it all the time as described as a jacket, but it also makes a great middle layer to block wind and retain warmth. The fabric is flexible, doesn't take up as much space as a regular fleece and gives you a lot of bang for the space for keeping the elements out and the warmth in, while breathing! A layering must!

D.K. - 2008-03-17Well worth the cost. I bought this jacket 2 months ago & have been really pleased with it. It functions well in a variety of weather conditions making it a very flexible choice. It keeps you warm & is rain-resistant. The jacket seemed a little stiff to start off but became more comfortable after a wash. For what it's worth it also seems resistant to stains. I highly recommend it.

Kevin - 2006-09-08Great jacket I give the Apex Bionic a top rating. It is substantial but not overly heavy. Nice sturdy construction with a sylish understated design. I like the texture and density of the exterior fabric-not fragile or easilly ripped. The interior is very soft with room for layering if needed. Great buy!
Is this Useful? - Yes - No
Jonathan Koefman - 2008-03-29Better than I thought Great item. Really holds out the wind and rail. Sleeves are a little long, but if using with gloves it works out better that way. Material is great and finish top notch.

Josh S - 2006-11-21Great SoftShell This jacket is great for mid to low temperatures. It does an excellent job of cutting down wind, and the jacket still lets you move around freely. It is very lightweight and good for walking around and doing some exercise. In terms of waterproof, the jacket does an adequate job.

Coy - 2006-06-13Functional and Sporty Love this new jacket I bought from Altrec! From the Bay Area and land of a thousand climates, Although I'm not much of a skier, I'm confident I can take it from those sunny but windy to chilly and foggy to cold in the snow...it's the perfect versatile jacket for those not wanting to buy 3-4 jackets! I usually go black because it's so easy to match, but I'm so happy I got the root green. For guys, it's really nice! Definitely, something I will use and keep for the next several years!

spy_phil - 2005-11-13Great Spring and Fall Jacket with style Great Style and perfect material. Also it was really good deal on Altrec.com. But it needs to have a draw string. if the next model of this product has it, I would definitely buy them again.

Charles White - 2005-04-15Excellent This is an exceptional jacket. Absolutely no wind coming in, very lightweight and water proof. I got the chance to field test this jacket the day after I got it. It held up very well on an overnight trip in the pouring rain and wind. The only thing this jacket needs is a draw string around the waist.

Toby Polk - 2008-02-23Exceptional I recently wore this jacket on a skiing trip, it was even more than I hoped for. With a fleece pull-over (laying) to prepare for the ups and downs in temps, this jacket was perfect. More than the jacket was the service I received from Taj. I personally went to the warehouse to look at the jacket to answer some questions I had. Since I ordered this jacket, a friend of mine was so impressed with the service and product I received, he ordered the exact same jacket in another color. Thanks for the exceptional service and great product!

Alex Z. - 2008-02-02Great Jacket This jacket is amazingly warm for its weight, and keeps absolutely all wind away away from the body. It is meant to fit closely and is very nicely styled. For colder temperatures it is best paired with a fleece under layer, or used itself as an insulator beneath a heavier coat. This is definitely the best jacket I have ever owned.

larry hanson - 2008-05-26These are great jackets particularly for the Pacific Northwest I have two of these jackets and the weight is ideal for my climate. They are very water resistant, sturdy jackets and very comfortable. The only weak point of the jackets is the cuff closure. They are not as strong as they should be and can tear. Northface replaced the velcro flaps cuff closure on one of my jackets. The service at Altrec was outstanding. I expected my jacket in 4 or 5 days and received it in two.

Nick Kishmirian - 2006-11-08Nice lightweight jacket I bought this jacket prior to going to Point Reyes. It kept me warm enough with wind gusts of 40mph. I am 5' 8" 150 lbs. and bought a medium. The sleeves were a little long but that is my only complaint.

2008-03-06Excellent Jacket, 2nd Purchase This jacket has an amazing fit for both outdoor and casual settings. Relatively light weight but keeps you very warm even in pretty cold conditions (I wear it for most all of winter in NC). Only downside is it let's strong winds through since it's a shorter jacket. I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs. and I wear a medium.

Brian - 2008-03-14Perfect Jacket! This jacket is great for a wide variety of activities as well as just hanging around the in the city. Excellent breathability and sheds rain effortlessly. I wear this nearly everyday and couldn't be happier. A great jacket that's worth every penny.

2007-03-17Good quality softshell for the money. I have a couple of these softshells and my last one has a drawcord. Great value for the money with a good look in any color. It does not breath as well as other softshells but works well in cooler weather and it will keep the wind and light precip off you. Not as technical for all around use in demanding conditions but has been greatly improved with the hem drawcord.

Felix Grendelmeier, Switzerland - 2005-03-07a great jacket for a great price I bought the jacket for hiking and general outdoor sports and was very pleased to use it also as a jacket for skiing and seakayaking. the material is extremly confortable, warm and windproof. The breathable shell brings the damp from the body good to the outside which gives a comfortable climate on the inside. I tested the jacket also in light rain and snow and did'nt get wet. All in all I am 100% satified.
