Customer Reviews The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket

Got for my gf, no complaints yet. Just a small just cause gift

I bought this jacket (in Cerise Pink) for my wife. She doesn't usually like pink, but she really seems to like this color. A Women's Small fits her fine - she's 4'11 and has an athletic build. She likes the tough, wind proof, exterior and the soft & warm lining. I purchased it for an upcoming trip to Arches Nat'l Park but she has been wearing it around town. Her only complaints have been in regards to the sleeves: The sleeves are a bit long for her, but I think that's an intentional design choice. Her real problem is that the jacket doesn't come with adjustable cuff tabs. So, at times, she has resorted to rolling them under.

This jacket is great quality and looks flattering. It's a little lightweight for the cold Illinois winters, so you'll want to wear a sweatshirt or fleece underneath. This jacket is great for layering. The sleeves are long enough to cover the palms of my hands, so they have an extra warmth to them. Also, the back is long enough to cover your butt in the winter- that's definitely a problem here in Illinois. I'm 5'0" and wear a 34DDD but the jacket still fits well, even if i have layers on. Overall, great quality, but definitely buy a fleece to wear underneath.

Love my coat, just seems a little stiff...going to buy another one in the future

Purchased for my 16 year old granddaughter. She's usually a junior small but this jacket is fitted and runs small. Had to return for a medium so she could at least wear 2 layers under it. She does love it and it is very smart looking.

It's nice for a lightweight winter coat. Not to bulky.

A little more form fitted than I was hoping for--the old style was much better. No really though, a nice coat that runs a little small and is a little too fitted.

Awesome product. Keeps me warm in 35 to 40 degree weather. Wish it had a hood and a zipper pocket on one of the arms. I did size up from a medium to a large. Glad I did.

From what I could tell it fit very good. I know she will like it

The coat is great except for the sleeves they need to be adjustable, otherwise great coat

Jacket is great keeps ya warm and has lots of pockets for all the things you carry

This jacket is very confortable. I had to order the 2x because the XL was just but to snug. The 2x is a but to big but it will do. I love these jackets!

This jacket is just the right weight for cooler spring days. I love that it's cut a little closer because I don't like baggy clothes. It's maybe just a little tight under the arms, but not enough for me not to wear it.

I am so happy with my new purchase! The jacket is warm, wind resistant, and stylish! My favorite feature is the adjustable waistline; you can adjust it to fit just right! Highly recommend!

I bought this jacket as a gift for my daughter's 16th birthday. She loves it, the only reason it's not 5 starts is because she wishes it was just a bit longer. 1/2 to an inch longer. She is tall so she tends to pull it down often. Other than that is wonderful. The colors are great and she loves how it feels and it's very warm for being so light.

I purchased the bionic jacket in pink. Loved the color! Just didn't fit in bust area. Wanted to try a bigger size but only available in black in that particular size. So returned my pink one and hoping to find a pink one a little bigger.

This is a really nice looking jacket, but be warned, it runs pretty small. Unfortunately this one ended up with my son's girlfriend instead of myself, but she loves it!

I did not own a good jacket before this one! It's waterproof, warm, and I always get compliments on it. I got the marker blue one and it is just like the picture. Came in 3 days early too. The only thing that bothers me is the collar. But I love my jacket.

I really like the jacket, however, the color of the fire brick red is actually a bright orange color. Really wish it was more red than orange.

I have been wanting this jacket for quite a while. It is a great in between weather jacket for the area I live in. The price is a bit high, but hopefully I will get many years of wear from it.

I bought this jacket after seeing someone with my body type wearing it at school. I am under 5 feet tall, and the jacket fits perfectly. It stops at my hips, and the sleeves are not too long. It provides good warmth in the winter, but not enough for parts of the world that drop below 25 degrees. Right now it's about 28 degree mornings, and I feel a little cold wearing it. I bought the offwhite color and it is fantastic! The only thing is that I wish it was a little more fitted through the waist. But I love the breast and side pockets. The jacket has room for me to wear a large sweater underneath. I machine wash my jacket on high, and the quality even though I have had it for over a year. Sometimes you can get a jacket in offwhite and it will turn yellow over time. That is not the case with this jacket. It is worth every penny. Also note, the jacket is more fitted than the picture implies.

This jacket really got tested so far this month, with weather in the 20-30s range and winds up to 20 mph. This jacket definitely is great in the wind. I still felt the wind on my legs even with spandex and yoga pants over them, but nothing through my upper body. I walked outside for an hour in 30 degree weather with 20 mph winds today and did not feel any wind through this jacket. You will feel the cold though. I had an underarmour turtleneck on and I was fine, so make sure you have a proper layer underneath when the temperature drops. This jacket is also really good for running. I wear it when the weather drops below 30. You heat up quick, but the moisture is released so you don't stay wet and get cold. Was a little disappointed that some of the sewing on the shoulder came out less than a week after I bought it, so will have to take it to a tailor, but that was the only draw back. I wish the thread they used to sew the jacket was sturdier.

I thought this jacket would be warmer.

I live in the tropics where rain is unexpected and cold weather is never cold. I've been reluctant all my life to invest in a nice jacket, but when I moved to a rainy, "cooler"place, it became a true necessity. I was lloking for something light yet versatile, something to keep me warm but not too hot, something to keep me from water too. Since rain is always moderate, I find this the perfect jacket for this crazy weather of the tropics. 8/10.
