Customer Reviews The North Face Apex Bionic 2 Jacket - Tall

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!!

A wardrobe essential. I own 3 of these and bought this one for my son. Lightweight and windproof can be warn on all but the coldest of day.

I originally bought the Large Tall after consulting the online size selector. I'm tall but slender and thought the Large was still way too tight across the chest and in the arms. I returned the Large and bought the XL instead and it's a much better fit.

Would like cuff tabs to be fabric and wider, not molded.

Nice mid-weight jacket for fall / spring weather that has good wind protection. This is my second Apex Bionic jacket, the first I bought a couple years ago in Medium. I've since lost weight and was looking for a better fit, so I picked the same coat in a Small. Unfortunately, the fit is still quite loose and I had to return the jacket. For reference I'm 5'10 135 lbs, athletic build.

Nice looking medium weight jacket but fit is a little off for me. It's tight in the bicep area and baggy everywhere else.

Nice jacket warm, if you're looking for a more casual thin jacket wouldn't recommend but perfect for cold weather pretty comfortable restricts a little bit of movement but pretty good fit

Nice coat, you'll look like everybody else in town with it on! Not for Midwest winter days, more of a spring or fall coat.

Love the jacket, did not like the white stripe down the vertical zipper. Was looking for a modest heavy winter coat, bought the Cosmo Blue color because it was all one color. Received the coat to discover there was a white stripe on the chest zipper, which took the casual look and simplicity out of the jacket. Other than that the jacket was outstanding. Returned it due to white stripe, hopefully there will be some solid/solid colors in the future.

I like the coat - it is warm and dry without being bulky. Also, it is breathable enough that I can leave it on in the car, etc without getting too warm. A couple down sides - the Velcro around the wrist does not stay in place very well, and the pockets are not enclosed on the inside. You can put an item inside the pocket and if you are not careful it can slide through the lining around the back of the jacket to the opposite pocket.

Awesome for the price, perfect for husband or son.

Had to order jacket twice. First jacket, the sleeves were cut to small in width. When compared to second jacket, there was a width difference of over 2 inches.

For general outside,cold moving around

I am a "fluffy" female and since your women's sizes don't go quite high enough, I had to order a men's jacket. So obviously it's not going to fit me perfectly, but I would still say it's pretty good. It's a little tight around the waist, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense since if a large man were to order this, the waist would need the most room most likely. But I love the fact that it is lightweight but still warm. It allows me to move freely in the car without having the bulky sleeves that come with winter jackets. I got this right before our winter weather turned very cold (0-10 degrees in the morning) and as long as I have a long sleeve shirt on it keeps me plenty warm. Over all I would buy this jacket again in a heartbeat! However, it would be nice if you were to offer your women's jackets in bigger sizes.

I've held TNF gear in the highest esteem for about 28 years, as a cyclist, backpacker, touring kayaker, etc. this jacket was a gift and very much reflects the quality that I've known and appreciated for almost 3 decades. This jacket has already served well in the El Nio weather here in North Georgia that has produced torrential rains, high winds and wild swings of temperature. My only con with this jacket and other TNF products purchased in the last 10 years is that the zippers are not of the same quality as the old YKK zips of yesteryear. I would recommend this jacket as an excellent wind and rain deflector.

We purchased three coats this year and the three guys in my family love the coats.

I purchased this jacket for my son. It is very lightweight and warm. He wouldn't recommend it in a blizzard or storm, but perfect for everyday use.

my friend loves it

My son wanted another brand but I got Northface and he is glad I did!

My husband loves his gift!

Block wind and water just rolls off of it. Really wanted a north face jacket but didn't realize how comfortable and nice they are.
