The North Face

Apex Bionic 2 Jacket $180 If you’re looking for an extra layer of insulation for chilly belays or alpine routes that will also look good in town, this is the jacket for you. The exterior has an attractive texture, but is also water, wind and abrasion-resistant and stretches for climbing or strenuous approaches. The Apex offers enough insulation and protection for most alpine or early and late season rock climbing days, but the relaxed fit allows you to add a layer underneath if you need to.
