If I only could choose one jacket to keep from mycloset, without a doubt, it would be my North Face Apex Bionic Jacket. It is the perfect blend of warmth and lightweighteness. Inaddition to its practicality, it is stylish enough to sport outside. I reallylove the pockets because they can hold a lot of stuff and is great to put yourkeys and a slim wallet if you're only going out for a quick errand! I alsocan't rave about how long lasting this jacket is. I've owned mine for manyyears now and it has endured some harsh weather and outdoor sports, but stilllooks great. Also, I really find it convenient that I can throw this into thewasher and not have to bring it to the dry cleaners. The cinched waist is greatto prevent wind from flowing up into the jacket. Also, this jacket will neverfeel too hot. I've worn it on cooler summer nights and it has been perfect. Ihave bought this jacket for all the members of my family and they love them.LoveNorth Face Apex.
