Description of The North Face Nimble Jacket - Women's:
The North Face Women’s Nimble Jacket arms your torso with Apex Aerobic fabric, which just happens to be the lightest and most breathable of the Apex family. This basically means you can wear the Volt on winter and spring runs, bike rides, and fast, intense hikes without a magnificently uncomfortable sweat-out. A bit of wind resistance helps on gusty mountain trails and the performance fit means this softshell slides easily over long- and short-sleeve performance shirts. Stash keys and energy gel in the two hand pockets.
Bottom Line: A lightweight softshell for sweat-inducing activities.
i absolutely love the look of this jacket online, and when i got in the mail i still loved it, however, im 5'10" and perhaps my torso is a bit longer so when i tried it on it was way too short. so bummed because it was an awesome jacket. does north face make longer lengths?
Bought the New Taupe Green. It's a bit more olive than pictured. Because I didn't know previously - the APEX Aerobic fabric this is made out of is similar to a light (and I mean thin) running windbreaker jacket. Good for light wear (no rain, wind or snow). The description is accurate - a definite lightweight piece ideal for spring outdoor activities.
