The North Face Apex Bionic Thermal Jacket - Men's
Excellent All Around Jacket

This is a great all around jacket. Great looking, fits perfect, waterproof, windproof and very warm. I also own the regular Apex Bionic and this is definitely more of a "cold" weather jacket than it. Warm with a T-shirt underneath down to 40 deg. Add a sweatshirt or a thin fleece and easily comfortable in the single digits. It can get a little too warm indoors for any extended period of time and could benefit from underarm zipper openings for some ventilation. Also, would like to have the chest pocket as on the standard Apex Bionic. I'm 6'1" 185lbs and the large fits well with anything from a t-shirt to a medium weight sweathshirt/fleece underneath.
