The North Face Apex Bionic Thermal Jacket - Men's - 2008 BCS

So I first bought a Denali only because I thought it looked cool. Turns out the Denali is worthless. Honestly it does nothing. Maybe as an insulation layer only but why spend so much for that? Yeah, not worth it. So I sold that and bought this Apex Thermal and couldn't be happier. What a world of difference. Holds up to the strongest winds and the wettest downpours. Says its not waterproof but pretty close. Love the look of the jacket and the material is so nice and that alone will keep it nice for years to come. Love this 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.

if the north face said dick well give u 100 jackets to give to ur family n friends theyd all get this one.ive had mine now since dec of 08 and its quite honestly one amazing jacket.ive worn in the 20s wth rain and stayed dry.u can actually soak this jacket n still b warm i cant wait till they make one wth a hoody then id b in heaven

Nice lightweight jacket. Completely windproof- my friends in their denalis freeze and get wet while i stay dry and warm. i'm 6'1 175, and wear a large just because the chest length of the medium is too short.

This is one of the warmest in term of light weight jacket. It is little warmer than Marnot Afterburner Jacket. It man handle TNF Sentinel Thermal Jacket. Sentinel is soft shell jacket. Apex is softshell too but it is not easy movement as Sentinel. In the end, if you need warmer, then Apex Bionic Thermal Jacket the way to go or Marmot Afterburner jacket.

The jacket works great. It's comfortable, warm (note that the high-loft lining is considerably warmer than most softshells), and looks fine. I am 5'9", 160lbs and bought a large. The medium would also work on me but would make it more of a performance fit, while I wanted something for around town. On me the large fits well across the shoulders, but the sleeves are a bit long. With a base layer, this would probably work fine down to 20F or so, possibly more if you are working out.

I live down south in Georgia and our winters consist of mostly wind, rain and near freezing temps. I can't think of a better jacket for where I live. I don't like bulky shirts so I usually wear this with a long sleeve t-shirt and I don't feel the cold until its down below the 30's. When I put on a heavier shirt, its plenty warm down into the 20's.

ive had my jacket since dec and i have to say holyyy moly.im not sure if waterproof but id say pretty close ive worn this jacket in a down pour and remained dry.im 5'9 205 and got an xl bein i like to wear hoodys under it.ive worn this jacket down 2 tepmts in the 20's and was very warm. as far as compared 2 a denali; i love my denali but this jacket is way warmer and windproof to where the denali isnt. over all one of the best jackets the north face has ever produced until they do a hoody version,

got 2 of these suckers1 for me and 1 for my fiance and proud 2 say amazinggggggg very warm. ive worn this jacket in 20 degree wheather and was very warm.id say if u were to put this jacket under a gortex jacket ud be ready 4 anything.my only gripe would b the arms r a tad long but other than that id have 2 say im very very pleased.

I just got this jacket a couple months ago. I had the regular apex bionic right before this and returned the non-thermal because I wanted something warmer. I love this jacket it is very comfortable, light, and warm. I live in Nebraska where it can get down a little below zero, but is usually just below freezing in the winter. The one thing about the jacket that I don't love, but it is my fault not theirs. I am about 5'9" 180 w/ a muscular build so I needed the large if I wanted the chest to have enough room to have anything besides a t-shirt underneath making the arms about one-inch too long, but when I am active they are the right length. I love this coat coat and would highly recommend it because of the reasonable price.

This jacket does the trick for sure. Just got it and I put it through a real good test when i went to Chicago this past week. When i landed, it was 10 degrees. With a hat, scarf and gloves, couldn't have been more comfortable. I walked by the Sears tower on the way to my office. Wind froze my face because i didn't have on my hat, but the jacket kept me very comfortable. In 30 degree weatehr, I walked up and down Michigan avenue shoping and then outside, and then hustling through the airports. Couldn't have made the transition from the cold to indoors any better. I'm 5'9" 155. Run and workout a lot. Medium fits me well. Bulky sweater is snug, but a shirt and normal sweater and a fleece would do just fine..and keep you warm. Love it and 5 stars.

Everything everyone said is true. I love this jacket. The only thing is the length of the arms are a little long, at least for me. VERY WARM JACKET!!!

This is a wonderful jacket! I bought one for my nephew and one for myself, and we both love the jacket's warmth, water and wind repellance, and style. A vest pocket would be a nice addition, and I'd prefer that the cuffs be a bit more snug, but these are tiny complaints next to the kudos I give this jacket. I agree with a previous reviewer: for the money, the Apex Thermal far surpasses the Denali

This jacket is so lightweight and warm for the cold weather up here in Michigan. I've owned North Face before and they last for there quality and comfort.

Fits true to form. Very wind- and water-resistant unlike the North Face Denali. Pockets are fleece-lined and located anatomically well. Warm despite its weight but not suffocating. I just bought mine but it seems very durable. The inside and chin-guard feel almost like short fur, I love it. I bought a large and am satisfied with the fit.

A great jacket. It fits like a glove & looks great.

I bought this for my husband because he had one for 5 years and he wears it everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. It looks ugly now so I am replacing it. It is wind proof and much warmer than every other jacket he has ever had. I am sure you will enjoy it too. Customer service was very helpful. Would recommend this website highly.
