The regular Bionic has a zipped chest pocket whereas the Bionic Thermal does not. Also, the regular Bionic has straight wrists with no cuffs and Velcro adjustment for tightening up whereas the thermal has slight cuff. I would highly recommend either jacket, just depends on what temperature range you want to wear it in. The thermal is more of a cold weather / winter jacket whereas the regular I would say is a moderate weather jacket for fall or spring.

the regular apex bionic is just a shell backed with a brushed fleece lining, this is the same shell material but is lined with high-loft, thermal fleece for isulation, so this jacket is much warmer
