Take on blustery days and turbulent trails in this fully windproof Apex Bionic Jacket from The North Face. Excellent as outerwear or as an insulator beneath a waterproof shell, the Apex Bionic Jacket features The North Face's exclusive Apex ClimateBlock fabric, a technical polyester fleece rated at 0 CFM for absolute windproof protection. Velcro adjustable cuffs and a convenient hem cinchcord help seal out drafts.
Fit Tip: This jacket has a fitted feel to it. I am 6 foot 2 with a medium build and I was pleased with how the medium fit. The arms were a good length.

Great!!!
This is my first north face jacket and I love it. It's lightweight but keeps you warm. It's also a great windbreaker. My wife wants one too!!
Great Autumn/Fall Jacket
This is my first Bionic as I also have the Denali which is a little too warm when the weather starts to cool here in Southern California. The Bionic is perfect, lightweight and provides great wind protection for those fall nights.
Best Jacket for Best Price
I've used this jacket in the wind, rain, and snow and this jacket does it all. Unfortunately it was stolen so be careful with any North Face, but I'm definitely buying it again.
outstanding!!
This is my second Bionic...perfect for all seasons...even works in the winter for those airplane travelers who don't want the bulk of a winter coat...it's all I've worn in the last six Chicago winters..
A+
Perfect fit, look and feel. Can't go wrong with Northface...
Great Jacket and Great Service
This is the best jacket I have ever purchased.
Already used it in rain and had no problems, and kept warm in 33 degree weather.
Sizing was a bit tricky for me. I am 5'7" and weigh 185. I needed a Large, and the sleeves were a bit long, so I just rolled them.
Excellent
Excellent quality. Fits very well. I bought it for my son and he loves it!
It's Bad
I am honestly, a cheapskate, so when I saw this jacket on sale back in 2004, I bought it because it looked cool. I got lots of compliments on it. I lost the jacket a couple months later and immediately bought another at full price, which is completely out of character for me. The jacket is TOTALLY WINDPROOF. Since I first bought the jacket, a waist cord was added to keep drafts from coming up from underneath; they also added straps on the cuffs to keep drafts from coming up the sleeves. The jacket wicks water great, but is not meant to keep you dry in a downpour. Wind doesn't stand a chance when you're downhill skiing...it's TOTALLY WINDPROOF. This jacket is great almost everywhere; around town or on the slopes. You need at least 2, maybe 3. By the way, a friend eventually found my lost jacket and I started collecting them ever since.
Very nice jacket.
The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket is a very nice jacket. I haven't really had much of a chance to use it so I can't say much about its actual performance. I can say that it is very well made with great attention to detail. My only complaint is that to get a chest size that fit me I had to order one size up so my sleeve and the bottom hem are a little long. Do yourself a favor and actually measure your chest, arms, etc and use the chart to see what size you are going to need. I can live with the extra length because I will use it mountain biking sometimes and the extra length in the sleeves will be a plus. Altrec's price on the blue one that I got was great and shipping was fast.
Excellent jacket
I love this jacket. In the first week I had it, I wore it to Fenway to see a Red Sox game, at the end of September. We were down front, near home plate, when it started to pour buckets! My hat & head got soaked, but my Apex Bionic kept me dry and warm. I'm amazed at the protection level it provides for such a light jacket. Nice looking too.
Great Birthday Gift
This coat can be worn in the spring and in the fall.
My fiancee has always wanted one cause he really likes the one I have. Its a coat that you can wear all the time. The orange color gives it the fall look which with the up coming season is great!
Perfect Jacket
I purchased this jacket for my honeymoon in Hawaii. It's sporty design, warm interior, and perfect fit will be great for my Volcano Hiking!
Perfect
Light weight, warm, and comfortable. Im 6'4" 195lbs, and a large is a good fit. Plenty of length in the arms.
My Favorite Jacket
Very light weight, extremely comfortable, fits great and surprisingly warm. Good looking jacket. It took me 6 months to find this color, moonlight ivory, thanks Altrec.
Great Jacket
True to other North Face sizing. Perfect for any season. Looks great on. I ordered a medium for my boyfriend, and he is generally a medium in all other clothing, sometimes large but medium was great for 6'0, 180 lbs.
A very good jacket
One of the best jackets that I have ever bought for Spring and Fall. very warm and comfortable. need to order one size bigger, it fits better.
Best all season jacket on the market!
This is a comfortable, light, wind and rain resistant jacket that can be worn with a fleece vest for added warmth. Order a size larger because North Face sizes run small!
Great Jacket for Spring and Fall in the Midwest
Bought this as a gift and it is a nice lightweight but warm option for both Spring and Fall weather in the Midwest.
Perfect for spring fishing
Great for the run up the lake or down the river during spring, when the weather can and does change at the drop of hat. At 45 to 60 mph keep wind out and me warm. When light rain would start did not have to change into rain suit.
Great fit!
I am a tall woman (6'2") with a slim build and this jacket was perfect in a men's small. The sleeves and torso were both long enough for me. So far I'm very happy with the fit and performance of this jacket.
Great midseason jacket
I purchased this jacket because I needed a sturdy late winter/spring jacket for the upper midwest. And I need 36" sleeves on shirts. A medium in this jacket fits perfectly, is very stylish and comfortable in a range of temperatures.
great coat
I hiked the 46 high peaks in the adirondacks through heat, wind, rain and snow. This coat held up to all of it!
FSU Student appreciates a warm jacket...
This is the jacket I wanted for Christmas...I needed a warm jacket, even in Tallahassee Florida it gets cold, and the last two weeks have been record setting cold, and this jacket was just what I needed to get to class and to the baseball field...perfect. I'm 6'4"/218#'s and the fit couldn't be better...thanks for the long arm length, great to have a jacket that covers my wrists for a change!
Functional and great fit...
I'm 6'2, 175 and a large fits perfect. I tested this jacket out yesterday while cross country skiing. Temperature, 10 degrees, wind 25 to 30 mph, otherwise "nasty". All I had was a long sleeve running shirt, hooded sweatshirt, and the "bionic" as an outer layer. I was out for about an hour and was able to work up a sweat. Great jacket! Altrec also had the best price, fast shipping and best sight to get around on. Will definitely buy from again!
another nice jacket
this is a stylish jacket,it's windproof,and yes the sleeves are long,and the fit is athletic not baggy,i'm 5'9'' 200 and the xl fit well,not short not to big,you know,hope it helps
Apex Blonic Jacket
Great jacket, and also wonderful customer service.
Great Fit and Style
The Apex jacket has a better fit that any jacket I own. It is just the right weight of fabric for casual wear at the office and looks great. I would recommend the Apex Bionic Jacket without hesitation.
A Great Softshell Jacket, warm, dry and stylish!
I have long arms, being 6'2" tall, and this jacket fits great with longer sleeves than most jackets.The cut is perfect with just enough room underneath for layering. I was doing early season work at the mountain last week in a downpour and stayed dry and warm. The style is bomb. Get one, Why Worry, Be Happy!
Great Jacket
Comfortable and durable...everything you could want in a jacket.
This is an excellent jacket. Let me explain.
Fits well. Long arms. That's good, since I'm 6' 1". Waterproof. Lightweight, but warm. Good pockets. I much prefer the fabric to standard fleece, which pills and looks ugly after a while. Two features I particularly like -- a waist cincher, and velcro on the end of the sleeves which cinches them around wrist. Nice colors, too. I can see using this as a three season jacket (not summer).
a light and comfortable softshell
A pleasure to wear, but not alone during very cold weather. Great under a waterproof shell.
Great Jacket
Really nice jacket. Got it for a trip to Russia because I wanted something warm and light, and that is exactly what I got. It is extremely warm and lightweight. They do run big in the sleeves so I went with a Large where I normally wear a XL, but you can't go wrong with this jacket.
Doneen Griggs
My husband loves the jacket, the size was very accurant as I am leary of buying clothes over the net.
He is a tall person roughly 6'2" and the length was just perfect.
I would definately buy from here again for the whole family this time.
thanks
Great Jacket
Perfect for the in between weather. You gotta get one
Awesome Jacket!!!!
I went camping last winter and happened to borrow one of these jackets from a friend. I loved it so much that I bought a black one for myself.
Well I enjoyed my black one so much that I decided I needed another color, so I bought a red one.
I wear a t-shirt under my jacket and that's it. It shields of the rain like water on a duck.
Great piece of clothing!!!!
This is a great jacket....fits well and performs as designed.
I've been looking for a nice softshell jacket for sometime. After trying on numerous versions from various manufacturers I finally decided on the North Face version. The North Face quality of workmanship, fit and performance is far superior to any of the other jackets I tried on. Stays cool in warm weather and keeps out the chill and wind in cooler weather. In addition, Altrec.com had the best price for this jacket. Go Altrec.com!!!
Great Jacket for WA
I love this jacket, It fits great and well insulated. Wind proof and great for our mild WA winters. Awesome fit and quality. Everything you can expect from North Face. Great customer service from altrec as always ! Thank you guys
Maybe a little too Bionic for Southern California
Wind doesn't really blow all that hard here. If it did the palm trees would fall over and kill most of us. But the Altrec price was too good pass up. One fellow commented that it was similar to scuba diving suit material & I tend to agree. A jacket to be proud to have wind or no. Thanks again Altrec.
Excellent Jacket
This is my second Apex Bionic. Of all the North Face products I own, these are by far the best. Good for temperatures 25-50, it is generally windproof. My only complaint is that the sleeves seem to run kind of long for the respective size of the jacket, but it is only a minor complaint.
one of the best jacket that I ever owned
Great jacket for all kinds of conditions, light yet warm .
Nice Jacket for the price
This is a very well made light weight jacket from North Face. It has a contoured fit and does a great job of keeping the wind and rain out. Can't beat the preformance for the price!
Good jackets
I gave this jacket to my father, he said to me that it was comfortable and warm when he wore it. good jacket...
A great outer and mid layer
I first bought this jacket in Fall 2007 in advance of the Minnesota winter. I was attracted to it by it's excellent fit, it's wind-proofing and to it's moderate water proofing. It has not let me down. It folds neatly into a daypack for temporary relief from unexpected showers as an outer layer. It excels however in windy conditions either as an outer layer up to about 30 mph but also as a mid layer when the gales are howling. Excellent thermal properties allows it to be used as a midlayer whilst skiing, or even as an outer layer on the milder days in SE Minnesota. I am not as keen on the colors for 08/09 so I am buying up two more for the year ahead.
On a note of caution, it is an excellent fit for the slim / average build. If above average build, it might be worth trying it on first. That withstanding, I am happy to get this my fullest endorsement.
Nice Jacket
I bought this jacket and returned it only bc I was looking more for a fleece jacket that zips into a NF shell. The jacket felt good and looked great too. Felt durable even though its a lighter weight jacket. Would recommend it to anyone.
Outstanding Jacket
This jacket is ideal for this zone. I live in the Chilean Patagonia, and we have several monts with snow, wind, and rain. Furthermore, his fit is very true and comfortable. Very good choice.
Love it! And it came quickly!
Very breathable; nice for warm weather & cool. And it came in 2 days!
Great present!
I bought this item for my boyfriend for his birthday. He had a jacket similar to this one of another brand but this one takes the cake! He loves it!
Better than I thought
Great item. Really holds out the wind and rail. Sleeves are a little long, but if using with gloves it works out better that way. Material is great and finish top notch.
Great Jacket For Rapidly Changing Weather
I wanted a jaket for the Spring and live in the upper Midwest. Weather goes from rainy and 40 degrees to 20 degrees and snowy in a day. This Jacket performed perfectly where I wasn't too hot, kept the moisture out, and was very warm on windy days. It runs a bit large so try one on at the local sports store before ordering online. I have a Mountain Hardware heavy Fleece I wear an XL in and I stuck with a large in this jacket. Sleeves are a bit long, but have velcro wrist snuggers to keep them from getting annoying. Love the chest pocket and use it for my iPod. Overall great coat.
the best compared to the rest
This jacket is great! It is what I have been looking for for a long time. the staff at Altrec was great. My first choice wasn't in my size so they directed me to the apex bionic and I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for the help and the great service.
Well worth the cost.
I bought this jacket 2 months ago & have been really pleased with it. It functions well in a variety of weather conditions making it a very flexible choice. It keeps you warm & is rain-resistant. The jacket seemed a little stiff to start off but became more comfortable after a wash. For what it's worth it also seems resistant to stains. I highly recommend it.
Perfect Jacket!
This jacket is great for a wide variety of activities as well as just hanging around the in the city. Excellent breathability and sheds rain effortlessly. I wear this nearly everyday and couldn't be happier. A great jacket that's worth every penny.
Awesome jacket.
Very versatile. I have had it for three weeks. Does not feel stiff like most new jackets. Very comfortable to wear indoors as well as outdoors. Surprisingly warm for the thickness.
Excellent Jacket, 2nd Purchase
This jacket has an amazing fit for both outdoor and casual settings. Relatively light weight but keeps you very warm even in pretty cold conditions (I wear it for most all of winter in NC). Only downside is it let's strong winds through since it's a shorter jacket. I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs. and I wear a medium.
Super Easy
This is a very easy site to navigate around and order from--which I GREATLY appreciate since I don't do computers that well. Also, have had to exchange somehing before and it was VERY fast and easy. Thanks!
Great Jacket
Comfortable and durable. Great as a liner on cold days or stand alone on warmer windy/rainy days. Great to stay dry for a change. Good value!
Exceptional
I recently wore this jacket on a skiing trip, it was even more than I hoped for. With a fleece pull-over (laying) to prepare for the ups and downs in temps, this jacket was perfect. More than the jacket was the service I received from Taj. I personally went to the warehouse to look at the jacket to answer some questions I had. Since I ordered this jacket, a friend of mine was so impressed with the service and product I received, he ordered the exact same jacket in another color. Thanks for the exceptional service and great product!
5 great
This is a great jacket. It works great in cold weather. It is a true fit, not to big and not bulky. My son loves it.
Cant understand why iI waited 31 years to get this jacket!
Love it!
12-15-08
I bought this jacket for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it!! He travels for his job and it's lightweight enough that it packs easily. It's perfect for the cooler climates that he is in while watching games in various states! He wants a couple more in different colors!
great jacket, easy to order, shipped on time, no hassle
my son loves the jacket, lightweight, but very warm.
Great Jacket
This jacket is amazingly warm for its weight, and keeps absolutely all wind away away from the body. It is meant to fit closely and is very nicely styled. For colder temperatures it is best paired with a fleece under layer, or used itself as an insulator beneath a heavier coat. This is definitely the best jacket I have ever owned.
Excellent jacket.
Great jacket, works in all but the highest wind. Anything at 30 mph or above and you will feel the breeze cut through the jacket. Seems a little stiff at first. The sleeves on the jacket run long.
warm in the winter!
We just got back from skiing, and this jacket was perfect. In snowy, wintery weather - we had a normal fleece pullover with this jacket. It was warm enough that we ditched the fleece for the afternoon. It is clean cut and a great jacket.
ordered two jackets unsure of size
Jacket was very much liked by my son.
Light weight yet warm. Return was easily
done
Great jacket
Very good jacket...
Nice jacket
2nd one we've bought, because we liked it so much the first time around. Perfect for our climate in the Northwest here. Keeps the rain off, lightweight yet warm
Five Star Rating
My son loves the jacket that I purchased from your company! You have a better selection of styles and colors than any other source on-line. I definitely will use your company for future gifts for my family.
Wonderful Coat
Great fitting coat. Warm and extremely comfortable. Looks great with the other North Face jacket I also recieved.
Great Jacket!!
Good for wet weather, although not waterproof, stands up well.
Wore the jacket running - performed well - (fyi, no pit-zips).
Great jacket
I wear this jacket under a synthetic motorcycle jacket for extra warmth while riding. Works very well at keeping the wind out, and the outside material is great for sliding another jacket on top. I usually wear an XL, but I bought a large in this and if fits nicely... a bit tapered fit and plenty of sleeve length. Wonderful jacket.
Great Deal
Wonderful jacket, this is the second one I have bought because I grew out of my old one. It is amazingly warm and yet light. Provides great resistance against the elements.
