Why We Like The North Face Apex Bionic 3 Vest

When the sky is gray and the wind is howling, we zip into The North Face Apex Bionic 3 Vest before getting our miles in. Drizzles and gusts are hard-pressed to find their way past the weather-resistant material, while the stretch fabrication keeps us moving freely.

No cinch cord at hem

Windwall is good. Plain black with simple line is a bit more dressy for travel. Good fit for 6'2" slim male, But, wait, the hemline cinch cord is not included as claimed. Major fail as that keeps warmth in when breezy. It is such a simple thing that used to be standard. TNF you used to do better.

Runs a bit big

Bought the XL. I'm 6'3", 240lbs and it's just a touch big around the middle. The length is perfect.

Just doesn't' fit right, keep trying new ones

The Northface fleece Apex vest has always been my go to but this Bionic 3 version just doesn't fit right, it's very tight around the chest, I have older versions that fit great and comfortably. I normally wear a small but am going to try a Medium which will be too big but hopefully not tight around the chest. Really with TNF would figure this out, I've emailed CS but gotten nowhere.

Returned due to cut.

Returned. Material felt nice, but the cut didn't fit me- too big at the waist and small in the shoulders.

Worth every penny

I use this vest for morning walks and for everyday around town. I have tried vests from Columbia, LL Bean, and The North Face, and this vest is hands down the best. It feels very lightweight, but it is very warm and blocks the harshest of winds. Build quality is top notch and feels like it will last for several years, if not decades. Would buy again for sure!

Favorite Vest

Hubby loves the fit and feel of this vest. He had an older version of the same vest that he also loved, but was unfortunately stolen. Giving only 4 stars as there is no cinch cord at the waist, even though it's listed in the description.
