Customer Reviews The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket

Living in Michigan, I needed a jacket that would get me through the cold but not frigid days. I have a Women's North Face Denali fleece that has a "warmer" rating (note: that jacket is a women's XL--I sized up in this one due to the noted cut of the jacket) so I decided to look for one with a "warm" rating. This jacket is exactly what I hoped for! It's great for those 40 degree days but it also got the job done when the wind chill was making it "feel like 19". The outer shell does a great job of cutting the wind to keep you warm. Outside of the standard zip pockets and the pocket on the left chest (perfect for your phone), I was absolutely delighted by the cut of the sleeves. They are cut slightly longer on the top for more coverage without being too long on the bottom side and compromising the use of your hands. Plus, there is an invisible inside cuff that helps keep the cold air out.

Sleeves are a bit long for me, but this is generally true of most clothing I purchase. Had an issue with delivery which customer service took care of promptly and without hassle! Very pleased.

Bought this type of jacket for my daughter back in 2005. She wore it often it was her go to jacket.She now lives in Helsinki Finland.Jacket just starting to fray in cuff area. This jacket has served her well. She is an avid biker,runner and hiker.The jacket is lightweight and warm. Great for the cool spring and fall in Finland.Just bought her the Apex Bionic Jacket 2 for Christmas. Thank you for such a great product.

This fits well. I'm 5'6" 150lbs and got a medium. Still losing baby weight so will fit perfect once I lose a few more lbs but right now is a lil snug w a long sleeve shirt under the jacket. But it is very comfortable and love the look of it.

Can't beat the price and comfort! Looks Amazing on too! Love Love Love!

Great jacket for cooler weather! Nice fit.

Best windproof light jacket

Love this product for any weather. It's warm and comfortable and looks great.

The jacket is great for anyone wondering the logo is not other sewn in but the logo does have a good quality meaning that it's not like a type of sticker.

My husband gave me the bright coral for Christmas two years ago and I loved it so much I bought a canary yellow and one for all my nieces and nephews for Christmas.

Love how it fits, feels and the look!!

What a great jacket, lightweight but blocks the wind keeping me warm without overheating like my down. Perfect for temps 20-50* Very stylish and I adore the grey, so many color choices.

My granddaughter loves the color (black plum) and fit.

I use this everyday.

This jacket is amazing! So glad I waited to buy the updated design :) For reference, I am about 5'5 and 120 lbs, pretty slim, and almost always wear XS (sometimes XXS). I do have broad shoulders though and long arms LOL. Personally, I find that TNF can run big and I usually have trouble with the hem being too loose (and looking funny when I use the cinch cord). But this jacket FITS PERFECTLY! At least for this size, it is a TRUE XS. Other PROS: 1. STYLISH: I found this slim fitting despite it being labeled as "active fit" 2. Super WARM 3. WIND RESISTANT CONS: 1. A little basic in the black color. 2. Can get TOO HOT/LACKS VENTILATION: I cannot imagine wearing anything more than a thin shirt under this, and definitely cannot imagine running in it (this issue may be resolved with sizing up, but I just find the S too big). This jacket would seriously be 100x more amazing with the simple additon of PIT ZIPS. That way you could wear a scarf and do cardio without overheating, and not have to tear it off as soon as you walk indoors. In sum, I highly recommend this jacket, but would purchase again if pit zips were added. IF YOU AGREE, PLEASE SAY SO!! Who knows, maybe TNF will come out with the new and improved, well-ventilated, Apex Bionic 3 if you do ;) Thanks!

I have been wearing the same north face coat for over 10 years. Quality and warmth is amazing. Due to a little weight gain I could no longer wear my coat and purchased this a few weeks ago and handed down my old coat to my niece, Still looks almost brand new. I am in love with this jacket, Quality and warmth and lightweight is fantastic and I can wear with anything! Thanks North Face!

Everyday use

I wear the coat for casual wear and to block the wind

Would buy again, I'm a very warm person so the ventilation isn't quite what I'm looking for but I seriously recommend this jacket

I have a 9 year old version of this jacket that I wore until the sleeves began to come apart (that was my only issue with it). I treated my self to a new one because I loved the color on the website and it did not disappoint. Have not cleaned it yet but do not expect any issues. I am so thrilled with it.

I absolutely love this jacket

All around great jacket

My husband has the original bionic and I was obsessed with it. I was so exited when Northface release the bionic 2 and I just had to get one! I love this jacket more than the original!!

Love this jacket! The only think is I'm 5'2 and weigh 160 and the jacket in size L fits great but the length is too long

Exactly what I was looking for. Warm and convenient.
