The North Face Apex Bionic Triclimate Softshell Jacket - Women's

You wake up in your mountain chalet and it looks like a perfect day for a hike or a snowshoeing outing. Hmm … softshell or insulated jacket? You don't have to choose one or the other, just grab The North Face Women's Apex Bionic Triclimate Softshell Jacket. The softshell exterior on the Apex Bionic Triclimate blocks wind and has a DWR finish for light snow, while the removable 100g synthetic liner jacket adds a bit of warmth. A fleece lining on the shell feels soft when you go without the liner.

Bottom Line: Softshell, synthetic liner jacket, or both.

Does this jacket fit small, large, or true to size? I've noticed that TNF sizing on its jackets vary alot depending on the cut. Also, does the liner zip-in or does it only sit inside with a few snaps to hold the sleeves? One review said there were snaps, but the description says its a zip-in liner. Thank you!

The liner is snap-in on the sleeves and on the back of the neck.

Very Comfy shell

By:
October 19, 2009

I bought this jacket thinking that the liner was fleece, but it's the lining of the SHELL that is fleecey. Rather than a nylon-type rain jacket that sticks to you with the moisture, the fleece (I'd say it's more of a flocking) is just warm and comfy enough to wear during the 3 days of rain we get here Cali. =P
I got this jacket for a trip to Beijing in November, where there is the possibility of some snow. With the liner, I think I would be plenty warm, but since I'm not a fan of hiking (going up the Great Wall) and having sweat stick a nylon liner to me, I'll probably get the TKA 100 Masonic fleece to wear under the shell instead. I think the shell itself was probably worth the $114. It has some water resistance, a bit of stretch, and the afore mentioned lining. The description says there are two front hip pockets and a forearm pocket, but the hip pockets aren't sewn inside a lining so they actually create two more, pretty deep, internal mesh pockets. I'm 5'3", 150 lbs so I'm a little thicker in the arms and waist, but a medium still feels good. I think a large would have been too big in the chest and too long.

I'm not going to lie...this jacket is awesome! I love it. The only downfall is there is no hood, but tobogons will cover your head. The layers are the best part. It a great jacket!

Very warm, just fits loose

By:
July 25, 2009

I love how the layers separate and are securely fasten with buttons so it won't shift around. I like it more if the jacket was longer in the arms and just slightly fitted near the waste. The layers are really warm and are quite breathable. It'll be nice it is has a hood...so not good enough for me...

Enough where it wouldn't be comfortable on a guy, but not skintight by any means (unless you order too small).

Apex jacket

By:
March 30, 2009

I bought this jacket in a size small. Overall it was pretty cool and just the shell fit me perfectly, but paired with the liner it was just a little too snug for my taste. The fabric is very cool and definitely very waterproof, but it just wasn't what I was looking for.

It is water repellent for snow and light rain. You will get wet in an all out downpour though.

A bit snug for my liking

By:

This jacket has a great look but it fit smaller than I had hoped and a bit too tapered for me. I ended up sending it back. Good quality , nice color!

What is a powder skirt?

It's an elastic strap/band that snaps together around your waist snugly, and is at the same time attached to the inside of your coat. It cinches around your waist sort of like a belt. This then keeps the snow/powder from getting in up through your coat. You'll love them, they're quite nice to have. And you don't always have to wear it. If you're using the coat to walk around (leisure) the powder skirt simply attaches to the inside of the coat and stays out of the way.

"Warm enough" is very relative. This has 100 grams of insulation, compare this with others you are looking into. I'm sure this will do the trick. Have you looked into down?
