The North Face Women's Apex Elixir Vest wraps your core in stretchy Apex Aerobic softshell fabric for increased warmth and wind protection. Thanks to its close fit, the Apex Elixir Vest fits comfortably under your ski shell on those chilly days where you need just a bit of extra warmth. The excellent breathability of The North Face's material makes this softshell vest ideal for high-output activities like trail running and cross country skiing.

Bottom Line: When you need a bit of extra insulation but can't sacrifice breathability, just grab The North Face Apex Elixir Vest.

Great and lightweight.

I live in this vest. I found it to be really flattering and really light weight. I don't think it will stay in the rotation once it gets really cold but it is perfect for Fall. LOVE it. The black is easy to dress up too.

I ordered this vest specifically for trail running during autumn/winter - and it's perfect. Nice little inside pocket for my iPod, and plenty of room for polyprop or even a fleece underneath. I would warn on sizing though - I went with large as I am quite big busted but probably could have gone a size down for a snugger fit.

OK

I was looking for a softshell, which this is. But it's more just the shell part, not even a little bit lined or fleecy on the inside. It's extremely lightweight - that means thin too. The material feels a little cheap, almost like tyvek. I was looking for something heavier. I think it would be good for high-intensity activities but not much use on it's own.

Women's Apex Elixir Vest

At first I was disappointed that the vest wasn't fleece, as I expected. It was a pleasant surprise to find that it's comfortable, quite form-fitting for warmth and added style, and, all in all, a great garment for hiking, as well as for layering for skiing and colder weather.
