Apex Free Climb jacket

It keeps me warm, but then I am a warm person. The pocket vents work great when I am biking. The sleeve pocket is handy. I use it to store my lip balm.
Its sleeves are a bit long for me but, I am 5'-3" and I got a size small. It's not bad. Works when I'm climbing and reaching for a high hold. The extra room allows for insulation which I usually use under my usual shell. This is a shell, just soft. I believe an TNF Optimus insulation would work well.
I use it every day when it's cool. Comfy. No problems with material so far.
If I get really cold I could use my MET5 jacket under it.
Overall I like it.
