I just purchased my second TNF Apex Nimble jacket about a month ago. This jacket is never disappointing, blocks wind fairly well even while on a bike (which is a big deal for me). This coat partnered with a Patagonia Capilene 2 base layer make even the most bitter and windy days on the bike warm and comfy and still breathable. I do a lot of hiking and schooling and always have a pack on of some kind and even on my last jacket I have never seen any wear. The Apex fabric is incredibly flexible and surprisingly durable. The jacket sheds light rain and heavy snow, if it does manage to get wet it dries super fast, doesn't stain easy and looks great to boot (Indian clay is an awesome color FYI). This coat really is the one you will wear for every activity, all the others will be kept in the closet for extreme weather. Thanks NF and Backcountry!!!
