The North Face Apex Pneumatic Jacket - Men's

The Pneumatic is a great, lightweight soft shell jacket. It is well built and offers good wind protection. Don't expect it to keep you very warm since it has a very thin fleece lining but it does a great job of keeping wind and water out of your way. Also, it's very easy to layer underneath. I'm 5' 6" and 130lb and the small fits great. The only minor complaint is that the pockets are placed about 2 inches too high on the jacket.

I bought it as my third between the three. I use them to layer underneath my ski jacket as well as wknds with jeans.

Volt: Thin enough to wear over a t-shirt and indoors. Works well too underneath the Bionic when it gets colder without having to put on a thick jacket.

Apex Bionic: My personal favorite of the three. It is often my outer layer when active outside and temps are cold but not less than 40 degrees or so.

Apex Pneumatic: I bought it as my "in between" and it fits that job perfectly. Thinner than the Bionic, thicker than the Volt, it has a slight fleece lining. The outside feels like the Bionic but more stretchy like the Volt and a little thicker. The North Face logo is embroidered on like the Bionic (the Volt is not, although after a few washes it looks brand new still). Still thin enough to wear indoors. My only complaint is the zippers (side pockets) bottom out 6 inches up from the bottom of the jacket. On the Volt and the Bionic the zippers reach down 2 inches or so from the bottom of the jacket. This may matter to you if you are looking to use the Pneumatic as an outershell alone or with the Volt underneath. In that case, I'd go with the Bionic.

Lastly, I have an XXL for each and it is close to perfect. Normally in XXL the body is too big and North Face does a pretty good job slimming down the body or chest. I'm 6'5", 235 lbs. Arm length is perfect and I'm a 37/38 in that category.

I've had this now for about a month. I live in FL, and don't need much of a jacket. This fits the bill nicely for evenings out and early AM runs. Only complaint is that it's a bit tight in the shoulders and upper arms for me (I got a M, 5'7/155). Otherwise, a great value.

The jacket is amazing!! i never thought it could be so versitle and so warm. I'm in Iowa and it is freezing cold and it is holding up like a champ. A great choice for anyone looking for a new Jacket!

I've searched for the perfect mid-weather coat for quite a while and the Pneumatic is exactly it. Living and hiking in the northern edge of the country, I need jacket a jacket that performs well in the early and late seasons. This jacket will accomplish it. For added warmth, my TNF Pumori Fleece fits snugly underneath the jacket too.

I'm a slender build, 6' 165lbs, and the jacket has a nice athletic fit. It gains some extra point for style too. Get this softshell.

this jacket is incredible. it's breathable, flexible, and downright comfortable. i loved the north face before it boomed and became popular everywhere, and it still never ceases to impress.
this jacket is thin yet keeps me so warm! i love it and can keep warm in the winter, and even wear it up until the hottest days in summer without overheating!
overall great jacket, reccommend it for anyone. :]

This jacket is amazing. I got it in on a rainy day, and immediately got to try it out in the rain and 45 degree weather. It kept me warm, and completely dry. Absolutely love this jacket. Great for running in cool weather because of the stretchy material.

Nice as outer or inside layer

Hand pockets are near armpits!
The store also had EXACT same jacket, color, Sku, name, but one had a smooth lining and the other was brushed....

Needed a new jacket and after reading some reviews decided on this one. Truly the best jacket I've ever owned - period. The material is amazing, feels great, keeps me warm on those chilly mornings but not hot in the afternoon, and sheds water like nothing.

A side note: I'm a dog owner, and always have problems with dog hair getting all over my clothes. The DWR finish on this jacket doesn't allow hair to become imbedded in the fibers. One brush of my hand and any hair is gone- just convenient.

This one is perfect for Fall / Spring - I'll buy the Apex Bionic when it gets really cold out.

This is a great jacket. Not a lot of frills, just efficient. Backcountry sent it out quickly and I had it within a week. In terms of aesthetics, I've had nothing but compliments. In terms of function, it's lightweight, breaths well and keeps me warm without being too hot. I'd highly recommend this jacket.

Great jacket. Extremely versatile. It keeps me surprisingly warm considering how thin it is. The pockets are also really convenient and useful without being awkward.

Apex Pnuematic - I bought the size L for my husband, and it fits him perfect. He is 5'5 180lbs, and he just LOVES this jacket! He said it's versatile - he wears it over a short-sleeved shirt during 50F degree days, and he wears it over both a short-sleeve shirt and thick sweater during windy 40F degree days in Chicago. It keeps him warm and comfortable. I'm thinking of getting him the Apex Bionic for those 30F degree days!

Awesome jacket. Very comfortable and warm. Deceptively thin but does the job really well.

The North Face Apex jacket in question is rather pleasing. The indigo hue color of the garment is distinctive and very fetching. Though the jacket fits the person rather snugly, movement is not constricted by the resilient fabric. As for an opportune critique, the side compartments of the jacket are higher than that of natural hand placement, hence slightly inhibiting the ease of object retrieval. Otherwise, the context of that what was advertised on this given site was in conjunction with the distributed tangible item.

& da ill thread is cheap 2!!!

It was a gift for my son...he loves it...ran small so I went up a size. great price too!

Absolutely worth it! Coat fits and looks great, lightweight but keeps you warm. It is a great coat for when you don't need anything really heavy. Wear it all the time in New Jersey.

We bought an XL for our son, who is 6'3", 180lbs. It fits perfectly! He wears it in the snow with just a hooded sweatshirt underneath, and loves it!

My husband and son are very happy with the jacket...

I sent it as a gift. My brother likes it ! Nice item. Thank you.

This jacket fits perfectly and it got to me within a few days. It's a great jacket.
