Description of The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
More versatile than any other softshell, The North Face makes the Women's Apex Bionic Jacket with a soft-brushed fleece lining to provide just the right amount of insulation for a cold hike or winter ski tour. Four-way stretch, Apex Weatherblock fabric moves with your body, so you can climb comfortably, and the Apex is water-resistant enough to keep you dry in light rain or snow. When you really work hard to get some miles under your feet, the breathability of this jacket will absolutely amaze you. Protected from moisture on the inside and the outside, you'll never want to take off the Apex Bionic. *Please note: TNF outerwear tends to run a size larger than you might normally wear. Please consult the sizing chart to determine your proper TNF size.
Bottom Line: Run, hike, bike, ski, and relax at home in the Apex Bionic.
I was skeptical, but the Apex Bionic came through. I wore it on my bike ride with temps around 40F today. I'm a huge wimp when it comes to the wind, and I have to say that even on downhills at 30+ mph, NO wind made it through this jacket! Yet I wasn't overheated. If you're looking to block the wind, this is the jacket for you! Plus, you can't go wrong with this site—the price is right and my order was here in 2 days, even with free shipping! Outstanding.
I purchased this jacket two years ago and have recieved comments where I would go. Recently my jacket was damaged at a neighborhood bonfire. I discovered this site and found this exact jacket and made the purchase once again. Where ever I go with my new purchase I still get comments. Its warm, great length and keeps the wind out, not to mention a flattering cut!
I wear this jacket everywhere and can't imagine not having it now. You can't feel the wind a bit. The only minor flaws I notice is that it does rise up in the front (not sure why). The arms are nice and long, which is great for people (like my sister) who complain that they can never find jackets to sit at their wrists without riding up what you raise your arms or extend them. Also, the zipper goes all the way up and under the neck, which give you a nice snuggly feeling. Lining is soft and super, super lightweight. I would recommend again and again.
