Softshell city

The Apex 1 is a nice softshell. Great quality as I have brushed against all kinds of abrasive surfaces and have not had a snag of any kind. Stitching on the jacket is good quality too. It is a very light soft shell with a nice soft comfy collar. The velcro sleeves are of good, but a little narrow. I like the feature that allows you to adjust/tighten the collar for those blustery days. Pockets are nice and large for carrying whatever you need. The only thing I do not like is the way it fits around the chest. It's comfortable, but doesn't look great. The jacket doesn't fit as well as the Gamma SV by Arcteryx. But, I guess the price reflects why. It is well priced and for the money and the Apex 1 is a nice jacket. It will last you a very long time. Besides, when you are out in the wilderness, who sees you???
