Customer Reviews The North Face Apex Bionic 3 Jacket

I like the Apex Bionic 3 jacket in terms of the material used, it's lightweight and flexible. The construction is decent. One issue is the arm length, it's a bit long and there is no way to tighten up the cuff. Other than that it's a decent jacket.

Good overall daily wear / routine weather jacket

I have this jacket, or nearest make a model one but in a smaller size. Layers are tight under it. So I was trying to buy the next size up. My new jacket has some "new" features: no elastic cinch cord in the waist, no Velcro cinch flaps on the cuffs. Overall I like the features of my old one better. But it's a good mid weight softshell that can layer under.

Bought for my husband. Looks great and modern, but the sleeves were a little long. There is no cuff cinch so it wasn't really adjustable.

Nice coat. V

This was purchase to replace another jacket this style that was 7 years old. The only difference is the other one had mesh lining and this one is fleece lined . Much warmer

excellent jack. Lightweight but also repels water and keeps the wind out

This is a wonderful light-weight jacket that really blocks the cold. Stylish and functional.

Great fit & comfortable. Quality material.

Comfortable, stylish, warm, and practical. Could use a little more room in the shoulders.

I have the previous and current versions of this jacket in front of me. Nearly everything about the new Bionic jacket is a step backwards. Most all seams are now only single stitched vs double stitching. Some of the accent stitching/seams were removed which has negatively impacted the fit of the jacket. The jacket now has a very odd fit and just kind of hangs on your body and looks like one of the cheap lookalikes of the Bionic. The zippers are now smaller and undersized. The hemming is simplified and is of less craftsmanship. The adjustable drawstring at the waist has been removed. This would have been my third Bionic but this will be returned. So unfortunate to see the huge slip in quality that my loyalty has been tested. I will now be looking at other brands

Jackets is great but I wish it had a hood. Bottom of the jackets stays open and lets air in, wish is had draw strings to close that up. Wrist doesn't have a strapping mechanism. Overall keeps me warm and dry.

The fit is great. I love the color, and it is exactly the thickness I was hoping for (perfect for weather in the 50s F). The jacket is very stiff. There is no elasticity in the fabric.

I bought this jacket to replace my Apex Bionic jacket I've had for 15+ years. The original sizing felt true to form, slightly more form-fitting. This Bionic 3 sizing is definitely much more roomy. I bought a medium since the sizing recommended up to a 41" chest. This jacket is closer to 45" in the chest. Returning for a smaller size, otherwise a great all-around jacket. Would definitely like to see a return of the wrist cinch straps, but overall very happy with this purchase.

The jacket is soft, comfortable and easy to embroider a logo onto. However, we paid for expedited shipping to receive it in a day and it showed up 2 days later which put us behind schedule. No one at the shipping company was willing to accommodate us which was unacceptable.

It was a perfect gift for my father in law. Perfect fit

I really like this Apex Bionic 3 jacket. It's well made and looks great! I own several other North Face shirts and jackets and they all suit me well. The only issue I have with the Apex Bionic 3 is that the sleeves are extremely long. I needed to have the sleeves hemmed about 2 inches. I've read other reviews where this seems to be a very common problem with this jacket.

I use it on my regular days

Beautiful and warm. The medium size can be worn by a large person

Very warm and comfortable. Just a tad bit bigger than the original Apex Bionic jacket. Other than that it's a great jacket for all types of weather conditions.

59 y/o Male and I've been wearing northface products for decades. Bought a large Apex Bionic3 jacket. Fits great and I love the jacket. Only complaint is the sleeves are to long and wide. Had to take it to the tailor to shorten and taper the sleeves about 1".

Love your products but the latest Apex Bionic 3 jacket has no drawstring around the waist. The heat is going escape and the wind will certainly be felt.

I love this jacket and it's everything I wanted; it's warm, it's windproof, and waterproof. However, I deducted a star becausedespite following their sizing guideI found the medium that I ordered to be a tad bit too large and I feel a bit like I'm 10 or 12 and wearing Dad's hand-me-down coat with the expectation that I'll grow into it. Admittedly, I'm in normally in that grey area where sometimes I'm a small and sometimes I'm a medium. A previously purchased North Face jacket was a small and the liner had started feeling a bit tight, so I decided to trust the size guide and not my gut. Huge mistake (pun intended)
