The North Face

Apex Bionic 3 Jacket - Men's

WindWall is a proprietary fabric technology developed by The North Face that effectively blocks wind and provides a barrier against light rain. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities, as it combines breathability with wind resistance, keeping you comfortable in changing weather conditions. Whether you're hiking, biking, or just enjoying a day outside, WindWall helps maintain your body temperature and protects you from the elements.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a chemical treatment applied to fabrics to enhance their water resistance. This treatment causes water to bead up and roll off the material instead of soaking in, keeping you dry during light rain. Non-PFC DWR means that the treatment is environmentally friendly, as it does not use harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This feature is essential for outdoor enthusiasts who want to stay dry without compromising on sustainability.

Jackets made from recycled polyester are an excellent choice for environmentally conscious consumers. This fabric is created from recycled materials, such as plastic bottles or old polyester garments, which helps reduce waste and the demand for new raw materials. By choosing recycled polyester, you contribute to a more sustainable clothing production process while still enjoying high-quality, durable apparel.

A 'regular fit' refers to the cut and style of the jacket, designed to provide a comfortable amount of space around the body. This fit is neither too tight nor too loose, allowing for easy layering and movement. It’s perfect for various activities, whether you're wearing it for casual outings or more active pursuits, ensuring you have the freedom to move comfortably.

A midlayer is a type of garment worn between the base layer (closest to your skin) and the outer layer (which protects against wind and rain). Midlayers are designed to provide insulation and warmth while still allowing for breathability and mobility. They are crucial for outdoor activities, as they help regulate your body temperature and keep you comfortable during physical exertion in varying weather conditions.

If you engage in outdoor activities where wind and light rain are common, a jacket featuring WindWall fabric and DWR treatment is an excellent choice. WindWall will protect you from chilly winds, while the DWR treatment will keep you dry during unexpected showers. Consider your typical weather conditions and activity level; if you need a versatile jacket that offers both comfort and protection, this combination is ideal for you.
