Great Color and Material
April 24, 2012
My wife liked the jacket a lot, it's a good weight, and does a great job of blocking the wind, and the color is fantastic. This is her first softshell, she has owned a couple of other fleeces and shells from TNF, and the material is definitely a lot nicer than we imagined. She gets compliments on the jacket all the time.
Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueMarch 23, 2012
I love The North Face and wish I could buy all of their stuff. I have to unfortunately return the jacket I bought because it was too tight. If you have broader shoulders like me and a little bit of a stomach, the jacket will end up being tight. The jacket itself I love and would recommend it to anyone:)
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Great valueMarch 22, 2012
I love this jacket! It fit true to size and is a great color. The collar does stay up a bit; there is no easy way to make it lay flat (I tried). The jacket seems very durable and is great at protecting against both water and wind.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valuei want one for myself now

purchased for my daughter in law. The small size fit perfectly. She is 5 6 and 110 lbs. The jacket is well made,all seams and pockets are finished off beautifully . Is has a very figure flattering line. I am very pleased with my purchase. Got to also mention the excellent service i received from your company
Pros: Great design, Build quality, excellent worksmanshipDaughter loves it!

Bought for my daughter to wear during track. We'd live oncoastwashington state lots wind and rain....keeps her dry and warm. The red is also her school color! Great jacket.
excellent
February 12, 2012
A little small to size. I ordered the yellow one and it is a very pretty color. Material is very durable and as are most north face very warm. Delivery very fast.
Pros: Great design, Great valueOnly winter jacket you need!
February 04, 2012
I am 5"2, 118 lbs and I wear a small. It is a little tight in the chest, but the sleeves are the right length. This is really the only jacket you need for the winter! You can layer it under or over other gear and the material is flexible so you can still move around easily. The only disadvantage is sometimes the collar gets in the way and it will not stay folded down. This jacket is perfect for your next hiking adventure!

This jacket is definitely a quality North Face product. I bought a medium but returned it as I found it too tight for my comfort. I'm 5'8" 150lbs and have always worn medium in TNF. I bought two other TNF clothing items along with this jacket (in medium) and they fit me just fine. I prefer a looser fit. If you want a jacket that is snug and form fitting, and you have the figure to pull it off, then it would be fine for you. I think it would work well on it's own in milder winter conditions or with a very light base layer underneath (mid-weight underwear or a micro T-shirt perhaps). It was fairly stretchy.
Pros: Build qualityJanuary 22, 2012
My jacket is a great design, it is very light weight and durable. It repeals the rain and snow. I like the fact that it is very warm and light weight. It is a great jacket for the cost.

Got this jacket for my wife last Christmas and she loves it. I ordered the jacket in White and we originally were skeptical of how long it would hold up. A year later the jacket is in excellent condition as any dirt or stains wash away easily. She really likes the windproof qualities on the blustery days. I would definitely recommend this jacket!
Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, PerformanceGreat Jacket!

This jacket does have a closer to the body fit; however the style is streamlined and slimming. I purchased a Medium and it fits comfortably: 34D/5'4 & 130 lbs. I would recommend this jacket if you are looking for something that is not bulky and still provides moderate warmth.
Pros: Performance, Ease of useapex jacket

I love this jacket. I have long arms and this fits great. It has a very flattering slender cut without being too tight. The black color is very nice. It is versital and warm but not bulky. Is wind and water repel.lent

Got this in TNF Black for one of my sisters for Christmas and she's in love with it! This jacket is great for any activities and is very durable, light weight yet warm, and weather proof. It's true to the Description and Specifications. Planning to get myself one!

I bought this coat for my girlfriend for Xmas. I originally bought a medium but had to return it for a large as this has a slimmer modern fit and she wasn't able to layer as well as she would have liked. The large is perfect for her. She loves how the jacket fits and looks. Would buy this jacket again and would reccomend to everyone.
Pros: Great design, Performance, Great valueNot for short curvey women
January 11, 2012
I am 5'1", 120, and I have not found a North Face jacket that fits. This jacket is too tight in the hips, and too big across the back. If I got a larger size than medium, the sleeves would come down to my feet. I really wanted to love this jacket, but it gets returned.
January 11, 2012
I bought this as a gift for my wife and was very pleased with its fit, comfort,features and construction. Wifey loved the jacket. Its her first softshell and I think she was pleasantly surprised by its ability to block wind/repel water and its insulation/heat retention abilities.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of useexcellent item

As an avid hiker, I needed a versatile jacket that could be used both on the trail and at a backcountry site but could still retain a comfortable layering option in more difficult climates. This jacket is more than enough to serve as an effective wind and water shell in austere weather as well as a thick protective layer in high climates. Would highly recommend this product for its quality craftmanship, its versatility & durability.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts foreverTrue to Size!
January 06, 2012
I purchased this jacket for an upcoming trip to Ireland, France, Germany, and Italy in May. Since we have to pack for a few different seasons it appeared light and still warm. I purchased a medium from this site (and a small from another b/c it was on sale)..I did both sizes because reviews were mixed as to if it was true to size or you needed a size up. I think the small fits me best (I'm 5" 6.5" and ~133 lbs). I have fairly broad shoulders so really somewhere in between would have been best, but the Medium is just too big in the arms. It seems like it is great quality and I'm excited to take it on my trip! I love the green/teal color!

Great coat. Wish it had a hood but otherwise enjoy the versatility very much. Just starting using a few weeks ago but will layer for winter. Blocks the wind very well. Haven't had the opportunity to use it during snowy weather.
Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, PerformanceLove it.
December 10, 2011
I just got this jacket in the mail ..and already love it. I got the Graphite Grey and i love the color. I am usually a black person for everything and decided to switch it up. Glad I did. The color will still go with everything. The arms are a big long for me, but still fits fine. Def a snug fit and not alot of wiggle room, so glad I got the Medium, but like that it is still long enough. This is my 2nd north face jacket in the past 6 years. And this one is a great buy! Def recommend it. Seems like it will withstand the cold while at recess with my class in the wind!

I had to have my own after seeing the girlsfriends! The jacket was body formed a little too much for me, but I am getting use to it. I love the light weight but the warmth is still there.

I Love this jacket. It is very comfortable. I wear it for horseback riding. It lets me move comfortably and stays clean. Grass does not stick to it. It keeps me warm and protected from wind. I have it in purple, a great color and my daughter has it in black. Ir runs true to size. A good all around jacket for multiple activities and looks great on the street as well.
Pros: Ease of use, PerformanceVersatile and warm jacket
November 04, 2011
I love this jacket. It is not too tight/roomy. Very wind-proof. Light-weight yet keeps me very warm, even warmer than my fleece jacket. I chose TNF black and it goes with everything. It is the jacket I reach for every day.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great valueGreat Coat!

I bought this coat with the intention of being able to wear it as a light jacket on not-so-sold winter days under my or as a jacket under my ski coat. It turns out this coat is exceptionally warm and it looks so cute!

When i purchased this jacket i was pleasantly surprised at how warm this coat was. My daughter loves her jacket and wanted it in more colors. Very flattering fit, and can be an excellent midlayer for her other north face shell jackets.

I usually wear a med in women's. So I purchased the bionic in medium and it fits big on me. The sleeves come up to my palms and the sides are loose. I havent tried it outside because im going exchange it for a small. But I do know its very warm.
Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, warmAn all-around jacket.
September 15, 2011
This jacket fits true-to-size. Therefore, if you normally wear a size small, then go with a size small. Moreover, this jacket would suffice as an all-around and an all-season jacket. A wonderful buy indeed especially if you're tight on the budget. This jacket does indeed protect you from wind and rain. It protected me from the wind and rain that pummelled the East Coast. It also has a very attractive fit for those who does not like the bulky look. You truly cannot go wrong with a North Face product. I have been an avid fan for quite sometime.
Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, Performance, Great valuegreat product

At first i got the windwall jacket and returned becaue realized it was not water proof. after i purchased the apex bionic and love it! its perfect for the mountain areas where i am located. I'm 5'3 103 pounds and got a small because i usually where sweatshirts under my jackets and its pefect. highly recommended

I have been searching for a jacket that is 100% windproof, breathable and stylish. I need to wear it when I go running because I live in an area that is very windy and cloudy in the morning. I use it every day when I go running. It's comfortable and very breathable. I would recommend to anyone that needs a wind proof jacket.
Pros: Great design, Lasts foreverExactly what I was looking for
August 12, 2011
Bought this for my upcoming trip into the Denali. My husband has the male version and just loves it. It's water repellent, windproof. He uses his even in the Chicago winter, layered with a sweater. It's also great for riding (motorcycles) because of the wind resistance. My only criticism is that the women's runs tight on the waist and large around the arms. I am pear shaped, and the fit is not optimal. I'm not sure it would do to well for layering if you are pear shaped bc of this fit issue. However, I got a great deal on it at Altrec and I'm willing to make it work.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Great valueGreat Buy!

This is one of the best jackets I've ever ordered. Where I live I need a heavy duty jacket like this and this continues to provide the comfort and protection I need while outdoors. The North Face is the highest quality soft shell jacket you will find. Stop your search here because this brand is very hard to beat.

I wanted this jacket last winter and did not get it.........this time I am not passing this deal up. Fits great!! I got a medium after reading the reviews. I am so glad I did! I am 125 5 "2" small boned. I wear smalls in others jackets from NORTH FACE. This one is cut smaller. Remember when you are in the winter weather you layer. This will be perfect for snowshoeing and cross country sking. Every winter we go to New Hampshire and last year my husband has this same jacket, he was soooooo happy he had it for our out door play. I was mad at myself for not getting one too. But....I have mine now. Don"t miss out on this deal. has just enough room to layer and best of all the pockets. Oh and did I mention the sleeves are perfect.

I was looking for a medium weight jacket and this jacket is perfect! My second North Face purchase in one week! First I got the Denali and love it but wanted another for more wind and rain protection and the Apex Bionic delivered just that! This jacket fits me well. I ordered a medium and I am 5'7" and weigh 135. Very flattering fit and still has enough room for a couple layers under on the colder days. I am loving the wind protection that it offers. My new favorite jacket!
