Ranked #1812 - Women's Softshell Jackets

This jacket is really great for the mild, windy, and damp winters in the South. I can see wearing the Apex Bionic Jacket from October to March. It blocks wind and repels light rain and collateral splashing. It's a great weight for being active on a chilly day. It's fairly slim-fitting, so I like wearing a long-sleeve thin hoodie underneath rather than a fleece or sweater. The long dip in back is great for biking, and the sleeves keep gusts of wind out at the wrist. This jacket seems to be cut to fit a taller person than me (5' 4"), so the sleeves are a little long, and they can't really be rolled back or pushed up the arm because of the stiffness of the fabric. A small issue, really. I get compliments on this jacket every time I wear it. Backcountry.com sells it at the lowest prices anywhere. I highly recommend it!
