Customer Reviews The North Face Apex Bionic 2 Jacket

I wanted a lightweight jacket to visit New Zealand next month (June), something that could keep out the wind and light rain, and that I could roll up and throw in a rucksack. This fits the bill, I went for a 3XL as I am a big guy and was able to layer underneath it. It is a big jacket even for me, but am happy with how it looks on. The only immediate downside is that there are no cuff adjusters on the sleeves. Other than that, I can give an "in use" review when I get back.

Perfect fall jacket

Nice fall jacket

Im not overally tall 5"11 190lbs and i wear a size large for almost everything else. This jacket seems a bit short to me

Nice jacket fabric feels soft and comfy

I bought this jacket for my adult son at Christmas and he loves it. Nice lightweight jacket and very warm for all but the coldest days. My husband like it so much I bought one for him when I found them on sale. Good price and a wonderful jacket. He loves the fit also.

For all of you out there that are still longing for the original Apex Bionic with the velco wrist closures and the embroidered logos, they are still available, and usually for $90-100. Just picked one up from a big box sports and outdoors retailer. Just do a little searching. I read a lot of the mediocre reviews about the new style and decided to find the older version. Found it, got the original features everyone loved, and saved $50!

I use this as my winter coat.

Really nice jacket. People complaining about non-embroidered logos are being petty. The lack of velcro to adjust the sleeves is a little annoying and a weird omission, but this is still a great product. It will work very well as a ski softshell, unlike the Pneumatic, which was very light and flimsy (like a raincoat). This jacket is also very stylish -- I would strongly recommend the asphalt gray.

I like the design, the color and how it feels when I wear the jacket. I don't like that the sleeves are a bit too long. It does not bother me too much.

I am 5' 7" and weigh 160 lbs. I went with a medium. Fit is good, though the sleeves are a touch long. Because there are no closures on the sleeves, I roll them back to keep them from covering my hands. I would have preferred a more athletic fitting jacket as I was between a medium and small. Otherwise, this is a truly excellent midweight jacket. Great at blocking wind and does repel water, though I haven't been caught in a torrential downpour. The jacket is good down to mid-low 30 degree weather, any colder and I prefer my down coat.

At 6'9" this jacket fits well with sleeves that go well past my wrists though I could use an extra 1/2"-1" of length in the body. XL size is too bulky but the T size is too tight, a more tapered fit would be nice. Overall a good jacket though.

I love this jacket, very comfortable, stretches with your movement. North Face is getting cheap, the logos are not stitched as in the past, they are merely stamped in rubber and look cheap! I buy North Face since I like their styles but I expect the old school quality. I wish they would offer more in extended sizes. Since many styles I like only come in 2x I am often forced to buy Columbia! Come on North Face quit cutting corners and stitch your logos! Please offer more choices and sizes in the extended size department even if by special order and you will add to your sales!

I wear in it cool and wet weather.

My husband hates a heavy jacket even when it is cold, so he loves this. It's lightweight but still provides some warmth and blocks the cold wind completely.

This was a good jacket. The color seems a little off from the computer screen but ultimately a nice shade of brown.

Not too heavy, but protects from cold and windy weather. Stylish, minimalist. I really liked this jacket.

This product is great. This is the first time that I bought a North Face product and I like it.

Loved it just a little too big snd he usually wears a 3x.

Great for a jog or run! Super comfortable and breathable.

This was a gift for my son-in-law and he really likes it. I ordered it in XXL and it is a good fit for length only a bit too wide for him.

Kneck is too high, could have had about an inch less to be more comfortable. Also, the jacket is a little long. Could have done with 3 inches less on length. Arms are perfect though.

I jave only worn the jacket a couple times. Its very comfortable in 40 to 55 degree weather. I havent worn it in the rain but it is definitely windproof.

It's a very nice and reliable jacket to use on cold days. And it's very stylish to.

This is a great product. The craftsmanship is second to none. The only suggestion I have is, in my opinion, the collar is too tall. I have a NF Windstopper fleece jacket I purchased from you a few years ago and the collar on that is 2.5" tall. On my new Apex Bionic the collar is 3" tall. Doesn't sound like much but it makes this coat less comfortable to wear as the collar rides up too high. Just a suggestion for future incarnations to reduce that collar back to 2.5". Keep making great products and I will be back!!
