If you want a soft shell with a hood attached, I would suggest the Nimble Hoodie Soft Shell, which is very similar to the Apex Bionic but with a hood and a lower price point. If you are in the market for a new lightweight, three season, weather repellent jacket, you should consider The North Face Apex Bionic. The Apex Bionic is more expensive than I would have like it to be, but I feel its a great value for the money when you put it up against its competition. The Bionic comes in three different shades of grey which is a bit excessive, in my opinion.
The colors themselves are fine, but without looking at the color pallet it can be confusing. The only other thing that I could criticize about this jacket is the color naming convention. The North Face Company hasn’t altered the basic features of this jacket in many years, and the change in the cut of the jacket to a tighter fit is one of the only real downsides. The only drawback is that it’s tighter fitting since a design change in 2014, which I think is a mistake on their part. It is well made by a top company with good quality control and features The North Face lifetime warranty. A lightweight shield from the wind, cold, and rain, this jacket is great for navigating windy trails or enduring outdoor events in nasty weather. Overall Performance: The Apex Bionic is an impressive jacket for the money. Product Details Navigate outdoor adventures in comfort, even in less-than-ideal weather, with The North Face Apex Nimble Jacket for Men. T he Apex Bionic is just one of the ten styles of soft shell jackets that The North Face produces. This week we will be taking a look at one of their most popular soft shell jackets, the Apex Bionic Jacket. The North Face Company has been making outdoor gear for more than 40 years, and much of their gear is seen in the kit bags of the world’s most extreme mountaineers and skiers. Soft shell jackets aim to prevent the misery of being dry from the rain or thunderstorm, while still being damp and chilled from sweat trapped by the jacket. In recent years, almost every big name manufacturer of outdoor equipment and clothing have introduced their own lines of soft shell jackets, all complete with proprietary coatings and features. Many people are unaware of the benefits and versatility of soft shell jackets, which breath well without leaving you chilled and damp on the inside of your jacket. Most soft shell jackets use a soft, semi stretchable material that allows for a high degree of wind and water resistance, and more breathability than a traditional hardshell jacket. Soft shell jackets emerged sometime in the early to mid 2000s as part of an outdoor equipment trend that stressed layering to help keep you dry and comfortable over the more traditional raincoat or parka.
