Customer Reviews The North Face Apex Bionic 2 Jacket

My son looks marvelous in this beautiful coat bUT he said it wasn't as warm as the other reviews claim.

I received for Christmas. I loved the colors. Other than a small defect the product is well made. Love how the coat is not to heavy and still keeps me warm in the winter.

It's actually for my dad. But he liked it a lot. It provides good warmth and very stylish.

The sizing guide helped a lot and was very accurate. The jacket has the close fit and clean look that I was after. Very stylish and warm and we no resistant.

Exactly as advertised. Great jacket. Awesome in the wind we've had over the last couple of days.

I'm a big guy and I bought the 3xl it fit great. I will definitely buy again.

I overall think the jacket is super comfortable but I'm very tall and it doesn't go past my jeans, so if I raise my hands what so ever it will lift up and show my belly , I guess I just like having the option to buy a 2xt t for tall but overall great product

I've had the Apex Bionic for the fall and winter season now. Taking it camping in the fall, it was a great jacket paired with a warm flannel or additional fleece during the cold night. Since I didn't buy a new winter jacket this year, I've been using this jacket paired with a thermal-lined hoodie and have stayed warm enough for the most part (exception being the days it has hit in the negative teens in windchill). The water resistance and wind blocking features are a plus, and the fabric overall is fantastic. The only down side is the velcro sleeve-cinching design. While on one hand, I appreciate being able to tighten my sleeve around my gloves, the velcro has proven faulty only after a few months and now the rubber mechanisms just hang freely away from the velcro when it is not cinched tighter.

So far I am very happy with this jacket. It is warm, I like the zippered pocket on the chest, very handy for my cell phone.

This is my first North Face coat and i love it! The only thing is i get cold easy so when its below 30, this isnt the coat to wear in my opinion. So maybe next year ill get a heavier north face one :).

I purchased this as a gift for my son-in-law. He is 6 ft 4 in tall. I ordered size XL. He loved it and it fit him everywhere perfectly with the exception of the length. He is in need of the size XLT. Now why is it, I CANNOT order a NorthFace Apex Bionic Jacket in an XLT thru NorthFace? The only way to get a NorthFace Apex Bionic Jacket in an XLT is to order it thru Cabela's. There is absolutely nothing marketably correct about that. And yes, I did order the XLT from Cabela's but I'm still amazed that a NorthFace XLT jacket cannot be purchased thru NorthFace. smh I still love the NorthFace products. They are very well made and last forever. Love me some NorthFace. :)

Bought this for my husband we live in Eastern NC with fairly cold winters getting into the 20s this is his winter coat , he says it keeps him warm ( warmer then his new balance which was same type material) loved the colors overall a nice coat for lots of pockets nice men's fit NF is always a good brand ! Only wish it came in more colors

I got this as a gift. I am 6'1" and the size was xxl. The arm length was perfect but the torso was way too short. I had to return it and order an xxl tall. The tall is the perfect length, but the sleeves are now a tad long. The coat is super warm and is perfect over a long sleeve shirt in the 0 degree MN weather. I wore it on a hike when the temp was 15 and after 30 minutes I had the entire thing unzipped and was really sweating, this is a warm jacket. I don't know why the regular sizes were so short, I don't know who those would fit.

Not sure of the jacket yet. It is a gift for my son for Christmas. I did see the same coat at Gander Mountain today for the same price! Thought I was getting a deal since I ordered online but nope.

Well where do I start with this jacket? It looks really high end and I get compliments on it from several people. Quality appears to be almost perfect...no funny sewing or seams that are not up to par. I love north face products and everywher e sells them so go try your item on somewhere before you order it. I am five foot seven and 220#'s hockey player type body and I got an xlg because I want to wear it skiing so I need sufficient movement. I knocked one star off as it is not a jacket for sub 20 degree weather in my opinion.

Great quality jacket, but the one I received has grey on the back while the picture shown when I ordered had an all black back. Not worth the hassle to return though. Thanks!

Beautiful jacket and my son loves it. The price, however, is prohibitive. Would certainly buy additional products if there were loyalty incentives

Well, ordered offline. Extremely upset about the colors not matching up with what I ordered. I ordered this as a gift, and I got the biking red & black, suppose to be a pretty bright red. & it came as a dark burgundy. We had to take it back to the store and get a new color. But he says he loves it, very warm!

First the good news...the Apex Bionic looks great, is well made, and cuts through wind like a knife through butter. It repels water droplets from rain, too. And while it is definitely warm, it requires wearing at least 2 layers in order to stay warm under 40 degrees F. If I wear a t-shirt, shirt, wool sweater and the Apex Bionic, it will keep me warm at temperatures near freezing. Especially when windy. But the jacket itself is kind of thin and fits more snugly than most, so if you don't wear layers, the cold penetrates the material and makes you cold since your body is in direct contact with the jacket. For use in snow and other very cold climates, I would suggest looking at products closer to a down jacket etc. The jacket is definitely doing well what I bought it for, and IMO, it represents a very good value.

Good coat. So far so good. Waiting to see how it handles up against some colder temps.

Very nice product.

I have this jacket in several colors which I've bought from Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, eBay, etc.; I ordered one from thenorthface.com in Heather Gray and the armholes are far smaller than in the other ones I own.... On the whole this style fits perfectly and looks great, and is perfect for a variety of weather conditions! Love it.

I like the thickness (or lack thereof). However, the arms are too long and WAY too skinny to be comfortable while wearing a sweater.

The materials used for the jacket are great. Just like all the other older Northface jackets i've owned. However the fit for this jacket is a bit tight around the armpit area. I've owned older jackets similar to this one and those were much roomier. So the sizing must have changed with their jackets. This felt too small so unfortunately i have to return it.

Purchased for a mid-weight jacket to throw on and take care of errands during spring and fall in a mountain town in Colorado. I gave a 3 star rating as the sleeves bunch up a lot at the elbows when bending arms. Other than that issue the jacket has a nice cut and look.
