Customer Reviews The North Face Apex Bionic 2 Jacket

I am very please with this coat.

I originally went into REI looking for a 3n1 but due to my complaints/what I was looking for the helpful person there suggested just putting what I wanted together. Sure its a little strange at first but it works. I got the apex because I've had similar products from north face in the past and this hasn't disappointed. The weather has been in the teens here for the past week with windchills in the negatives and I've had no problems wearing just this. Combine this with the weatherproof/waterproof venture 2 and I started sweating immediately just being in the store. This is superior in comfort especially when you're walking around a lot with enough bulky material as it is. I'd have no issues walking around with this 2 jacket combo in 20 degree to 15 degree weather. Anything lower than that with windchills in the negatives teens and 20s I'd add my North face synthetic wool underneath. Please be reminded that none of this would include and skin wear as well. I'm sure if I were to wear some of my under armor winter wear as well the puffy jacket wouldn't be needed. Don't get me wrong, some of the 3n1s there were very nice! I want to buy one but I have every confidence in the world this combo will keep me warm AND dry at a reasonable price.

Great casual, sporty but stylish jacket to wear to work or play

I bought this for my dad who is 5'9 and 187lbs. The "find your size" chart recommended an XL but it was way too big in the sleeves and across the body. He ended up returning it for a Large. NorthFace anything is great so it all worked out!

convenient and perfect to throw on when running out the house

This made for a great gift. It is super light and great for cool weather!

My boyfriend loves it!

I use it with a cookies hoodie the shipping should be faster considering how expensive everything is

We are happy with the jacket.

This is a great everyday jacket for temperatures 40F-60F. My favorite things about it are the style, and windproof shell. It can also stand up to rain fairly well, although I would not choose it in down pour conditions.

Everyday in the fall

Great jacket. I normally wear an XL. Was too big. Large fits well. Return process very easy.

Light weight winter jacket for recreational use

Great lightweight jacket for all weather

I like the fit and feel of the jacket.

I'll wear this all during winter, but the bottom is just a couple inches short. The sleeves are a bit long too. It still works though. Actually, it isn't too long on the sleeve or too short in the waist to make it uncomfortable or ugly.

I thought it would be a little bit softer on the inside.

Any

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.

Nice fall jacket

Perfect 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

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.
