Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
I bought this after borrowing my boyfriend's Apex for the past two years. Finally, I've come to my senses: this is the best jacket I've ever owned and I wish I had made the investment earlier. It is worth every penny. Something about the fabric's breathability coupled with its wind and water resistance make it comfortable in nearly any weather. Layer it over a fleece in cold weather (20-30 F) or a thin layer in moderate weather (40-50 F). Wear it over a t-shirt in spring or fall conditions (wet, 60 F). I can't say enough for how often I pull this on, especially when I want to go into the city or travel. Light, versatile; its perfect.

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
So I picked this jacket up on a whim, and was really impressed with the performance so far. Unlike the north face Denali jacket this one is wind proof! It is perfect for cool outdoor days on days spent inside, overall really like the jacket and glad I bought it.

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
I've used this coat for general wear in cold spring weather along with biking short distances in around freezing temperatures. It has worked great so far. I haven't worn it in rain yet, so I'm not sure how well it wicks water. I am 5'2" and a small fits perfectly with room for a light long sleeve underneath. Sleeves are a little long, but not uncomfortably so.
Service and delivery comments:
My delivery was very prompt, in good condition and I did use the return option - which was very useful and helpful. Thank you for your great work!

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
A great jacket. It's super windy here in El Paso, and with this jacket you don't feel much. It's lightweight and still warm. The large is a little large around my middle, but I got that size for the sleeve length, which is perfect. There's room to layer underneath, and water runs off for the most part if you're not out in the rain too long. You won't be disappointed.

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
I have owned two seasons of this jacket. The first time I bought it, mid 2000s, I ended up trading it for a new one because the color faded in weird places after it had gone through a few washes. Now the second one I own, from a season after the previous, has also now experienced the same. The tag says to use delicate warm. I usually use delicate cold. It seems after the time I washed it in warm (the previous style included) to get a mud stain or grass out, the jacket faded in weird places so the color is no longer uniform.
Besides that glitch, I have loved this jacket. It is very warm. I don't like it for hikes because I get too hot in it. It's perfect for nights in the city of San Francisco or Seattle.

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
Bought this for my wife. She wore it skiing in PA 5 times this winter and loved it! This jacket is very thin and lightweight but is extremely warm. It is totally windproof and is the perfect jacket for just about any winter temperature.

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
I walk with a dedicated group that walk 3 to 5 miles a day up steep hills and aerobic courses. Weather is typically in the upper 20's to low 30's when I wear this jacket. It is the perfect weight for this activity.

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
I love the white color, but I have had to wash three times already as it gets dirty quickly. However, dirt comes out very easily. Nice jacket to layer. I wore my fleece underneath and was fairly warm during a snow tubing session.

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
Really fit the bill for hiking when you have to accomodate changes in tempature throughout the day. Easily fit in my camelbak and looks great even after being in there all day. Really nice fit and right weight for all day hiking.

Comments about The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's:
I love this jacket for it's capabilities. I first bought it back in 2008 for a trip up to my first 14'er in CA. There was still snow on the trail in August, it was cold and windy the whole way. This jacket was breathable and windproof and warm the whole way!!! I didn't feel too hot or too cold at any point and time. Fit was great too! Feels true to size. The main problem I had was that after a few years, the NF white turned yellow. Blech! I wore it around 20 times over the years and took great care of it since it was one of my first technical jackets. Unfortunately with the color change I had to exchange it. Thank goodness for being an REI member. This past year I exchanged for just a black jacket. Faded black I can handle if that happens, yellow is just a no go in my opinion. Anyhow, this new purchase is just as great as the last. I've worn it mulitple times now, hiking in cold and frigid NC weather. The only thing I noticed is that the sleeve length is definitely changed, much longer, maybe too much. My boyfriend says it's for movement but my last jacket had no issues with shorter sleeves. Oh well, I just push them up or keep my hands warmer inside of them. Overall, great jacket and will keep it for a very long time. I can see doing multiple activities in this jacket from standard hiking to multi day backpacking trips just like I've done with the last one and why I bought it.
