User Review: The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket

The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket
Above: The current Apex Bionic Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Reviewed December 20, 2007 by ftpdb

Rating: rated 3.5 of 5 stars
Fabric: Softshell
Fill: Fleece liner
Price Paid: $95

I have owned this jacket for five years now, so I have an older version. I believe they have improved the jacket with a draw cord for the waist and Velcro wrist adjustments. If my jacket had these improvements I think I would like it a lot more.

The Good:
Really warm jacket that isn't flashy. It layers well with either a fleece or a hoodie. I like the positions of the pockets (two hand pockets just over the hip and one napoleon pocket). I really dislike pockets that are floating just under the chest and above where hip pockets should be. It is water resistant, good in a constant drizzle for up to 45min.

The Bad:
If they have made the two improvements listed above (waist draw cord and Velcro wrist straps) then this jacket would be amazing and worth every penny.

Overall a great jacket that can be used in the fall and spring.
