The North Face Apex Free Climb Jacket - Men's
Overpriced

Ranked #1516 - Men's Softshell Jackets
January 23, 2006
I wanted to buy a soft-shell jacket because of its lightweight and small storage space. I have been in London for the past month and have worn it everyday. The best word I can use to describe this jacket is sheer disappoint. I am cold with a long sleeve thermal, a sweatshirt, and this jacket in London’s downtown temperate environment. Every once in awhile little strings come out of the taped seems (poor welding I guess?) and because its London I have been in a lot of smoky pubs which the jacket traps and holds the smell, while my friends north face Denali fleece does not? All and all I think the jacket is over priced and over hyped.
