Light weight and wind resistant, just what I as looking for.

It runs big. You advertised a cinch cord at the bottom but there wasn't one. The fabric seems cheap compared to the Apex Bionic 2. That kind of quality is what we expected out of the Apex Bionic 3 but were sadly disappointed. Your return process is beyond lengthy. You received the return after it got detoured in transit, taking 8 days to finally get to your facility where it sat for another 8 days before I had to physically call you and ask why I haven't been refunded yet. My phone call to you was the only reason that got you to start the refund process for me. Then the Rep told me another 5-7 business days for my money to finally get to me. I recommend returning items to the nearest store because I'm going on 3 weeks and I'm still waiting for my money back. You took it from me immediately so it should be returned to me just as fast. This entire ordeal is the reason why I won't be a returning customer.

I bought this vest to replace a similar Northface vest that I have had for many years. It is my go to vest both indoors and under a parka. I like the material which is not available from other manufacturers. It is somewhat longer than Northface's previous model, but I see this as a positive.

This product is amazing. I like wearing vest during this time of the year in the south because it give me enough warmth and maneuverability. I recommend to anyone who wants a great quality vest that is water resistant warm and stylish. I want all the colors!

Goes with everything, great fit, and great quality. I had the grey one, so I had to buy the black one too.

I've had a bionic vest for many years and this new one is nice but material feels different. Stiffer and not as flexible and does not have a waist drawstring. Still have to break it in.

I like how light weight it is. The cut of the pockets make sure your phone does not drop out.

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.

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

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