The North Face  Apex Chromium Thermal Jacket - Men's

I bought this jacket to replace the same model I had. I needed one in a smaller size. The new jacket that arrived was slightly different than my original from last season. The collar no longer has the sherpa fleece on it which i liked. The sherpa fleece is still on the inside of the body and sleeves, but the collar is just normal fleece. It still looks nice, but I preferred the older style. The new jacket I received also had an issue with the stitching on the front and a scuff on the side. I decided to return it and try to find someone still carrying last years model instead. I would still definitely recommend this jacket overall.

I received this jacket as a Christmas gift and I fell I love with this Immediately. It fits snug but not too snug and looks really nice. The jacket does a good job at shedding a reasonable amount of water. Keep in mind it's not a rain shell but it still does a fair job. The jacket has a very soft liner inside that is made of fleece and it gives the coat an overall very comfortable feeling. It seems to feel fairly durable and seems that it will hold up for a long time. I have had a very minor issue with the zipper puckering but it hasn't been that big of an issue. Overall I would recommend this for mild to moderately cold weather.

I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend who is 6'2" and built like a football player. I ordered the jacket (TNF Black / TNF Black) in his normal 2XL size, and the fit was as desired. The sleeves hit right at the ends of his wrists, and the bottom hem of the jacket hits right below his waist. Without being baggy on its own, there is still plenty of room for him to layer if he wants. The inner fleece lining seems to make all the difference in an added warm element and ultimate comfort. He loves that he can wear the jacket both casually over workout clothes or with business casual to work. Sleek and structured - a true staple that we hope will serve him for years!

I love my jacket! By far the warmest single layer jacket you can get. I love that it feels heavy and has the fuzzy interior but even though it's pictured above, it's missing in my jacket around the neck/collar. I'm 245 pounds and 5'11 and this jacket is big on me. Sleeves are a little long and a little baggy but I love it this way for this jacket because I can literally do any kind of reach and it not hike up. I really wish it had the fuzzy in the collar...

Waterproof outer shell is great for being outside in the rain, inside of collar is not waterproof so if it's raining hard you need to make sure you're zippered all the way up. Quite warm and the relaxed fit makes it easy to layer underneath. Not super breathable and it is toasty inside so I would make sure it's pretty chilly outside before you start doing a lot of physical activity I need this jacket. Zippered pockets are linesman with the fleece and feel nice on the hidden hands during a gust of wind. If you're in between sizes I would recommend sizing down. Great jacket, would very much recommend.

I upgraded from the old version of the Chromium and there are still a few things they could do better. There needs to be another pocket! Either inside the jacket or in the chest. Nowadays everyone has a phone and only having two hand pockets isn't enough. Also, those hand pockets let in cold air because of the venting on the pockets is mesh and goes right through. This would be a much warmer jacket if the fuzzy lining covered the entire inside. Jacket is very wind proof but will soak up a good rain if you are out for more than just a few minutes. If this made this waterproof it would be even better. I still recommend this as a nice warm Fall jacket. Would hold up for Winter use with just a few changes.

Classy look and feel. Non-PFC DWR. Machine wash gentle inside-out and tumble dry low. Wrist closures a little weak but ok. Excellent overall. (only 200 characters here or I would have added more)

Thank you North face! The cozy long fur is amazing, the wind proof is perfect for spring and fall in Minnesota! I love your dependable warranty.

Love it and the fleece it has inside definitely added a layer of warmth. I have seen the windbreaker version of this that everybody has until I seen this one in the Northface store. I knew it would set me apart and keep me warm as well. I also like that it has wrist velcro which lets you adjust it to your unique wrist or keep the sleeve behind your watch if you wanted that to show in your outfit. Also, the material is flexible compared to others. Lastly, I would say that it is truly black compared to other jackets that stray from true black because of their material.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for husband who bikes to work all winter. He liked it because it was lightweight and warm as well as wind/water resistant. However, it had to go back because it didn't have a chest pocket. He really needed a place to stash his wallet and/or phone when he runs errands or travels between buildings at work. The waist pockets are just not as good to use for this purpose because if you actually use them to warm your hands you risk having things fall out. Add a chest pocket and it would be great. If you don't care about that, you'll like this coat.
