Quality jacket for tall peopleThis is the first North Face jacket I've ever had and I'm super impressed with the quality of it. The zippers are fantastic and the fit of the jacket is no less impressive. I'm 6'3" and ordered a medium which fits perfectly except the sleeves do hang a little low than my liking, just past the nuckles, but this is negligible since I'd rather have them to long than to short.

YesTook this jacktet to Mt. beirstadt in late May for 4 days.... temps ranged from 25 to 60.... 35 on summit day, 10 to 30mph wind. Great jacket, wind proof, sheds light precip, warm. I used this jacket all winter, from, peak baging in spring, hiking, to ice fishing, down to 25-35 deg with a single base layer and it was warm. (Bring a puffy for when you stop moving in colder temps, but you will remove it once you start moving again) TnF Windwall cuts windchill like a champ. Im 6'0" 165lbs, med fits like a glove, with plenty of room for base layers, and a mid fleese. Mid layers, ie puffy, shell, hoddies, will fit over nicely, and shell on top of that and still feels great. Harness fit over with minimal bunching. Pro... great soft shell feel, the stretch is awesome, warm, windproof, nice style!! Water resistant, Harness works well with it. Con.... DWR could be better. After some moderate use, in less than a year i have to reapply DWR. Not bad but the shoulder area where backpack sits wore off first (duh) but was hoping for a beter resistance from the DWR. Still sheds light precip, but wets out in light to moderate precip . Its not water proof not ment to be, but at first it did wick water away rather well!!! Good work tnf i be getting g a hoodie version soon!!!

A Nearly Perfect Jacket Made Perfect By My Ultimate ModsI use this jacket just about every day in my office because there is a portal that I cross through when I enter the doors to my office which opens up to Alaska. That's how cold it is in my office so I am the "guy" who wears jackets even in the Summer. This jacket isn't too big and fluffy so that the VP or CEO don't complain to me that it looks too unprofessional and I get yet another bad yearly review. The sleek and fitted look is just a step bigger than my suit jacket so that adds to the benefit of wearing this jacket just about every day at work or approximately 252 days a year (minus vacation). Furthermore, I is sleek enough so that I don't get reported to Homeland Security because of a guy wearing a "big jacket" in the summer "see something, say something" mentality - which I completely agree with and support but I don't want to be profiled. The two negatives are that this jacket does not have enough pockets nor does it have zippers under the arms, only three compared to the four pockets on the bigger Denali jackets. Therefore, I had two pouches and zippers under the arm sowed in so that it forms a lighter, sleeker Denali jacket. I could have shaved off the fleece on one of my Denali jackets but it wouldn't have been the same. Overall, two thumbs up to the jacket and the tailor custom mods.

Fits too snugI am 5'10" and weigh 200 lbs. I chose size large, and it is definitely too tight for me.

Keep it coming!Let's face it, buying a jacket of any kind when you're over 6'4" sucks. Sleeves are too short and we end up having to buy huge sizes to get ge length right. It sucks. TNF nailed it with this jacket along with their other tall line. I'm 6'8", 230 lbs, wear 38 length pants with 34" waste. This apex bionic in large tall is perfect. Keep making new jackets like this and I'll keep buying!

Best Soft Shell Jacket out there! Needs Two adjustments...This is my everyday Jacket and this is my 3rd one over almost 18 years. I have 2 notes on this new version of the Bionic Jacket. First, the sewn edges on the medial part of the sleeve cuffs are thick and are going to wear a hole fast in that spot just from simply resting your arms on surfaces, or working at the computer or a desk repetitively... I noticed that very quickly, and not happy with how fat those sewn edges are. Second, just as the last Bionic Jacket had, there is an elastic knot in both front pockets so you can cinch the bottom waist part of the Jacket up. It is annoying every time you put your hands in the pockets! These 2 things in my opinion are design flaws and can be addressed in the future. I knew that going in and still bought this jacket and love it. Deflects the rain nicely for the first 10 minutes or so, but it not "Rain Proof" so keep that in mind. Otherwise Lightweight, breathable, soft on the inside, sleek, fits well and washes easily. Im 6'4" so I opted for the tall version for the first time. Its 2" longer all the way around which is great for me!!
Is the The North Face Khumbu 2 Jacket for Men compatible with this shell?
The North Face Khumbu 2 Jacket for Men says it is "compatible with TNF shell jackets". I am wondering if The North Face Khumbu 2 Jacket for Men will fit inside this shell.
Thanks
Asked by: Nicknews
The Apex Bionic 2 jacket does not accept a liner shell. It doesn't have the zipper availability/compatibility to add a shell layer.
