Im 5'9 145 pounds and 32 inch waist. I wanted to to get light jacket. I wasnt sure after reading reviews so I thought i would get a small and medium to compare.
You and I are almost the same exact build and I opted for the medium. It is just slightly bigger than I’d like it but judging from video, the small would have been just slightly too tight. Especially when reaching up or down for something. Thanks for the help.
Im 5’7 and weigh 155. Waist size is also 32. I ended up getting a Medium Apex jacket because i needed the extra room for layering. But thanks on the vid! Really helpful.
for him, if he wanted a more fit, tailored look, small works. but if he wanted to layer underneath with a fleece or down mid layer, it would probably feel more restrictive and tight. i layer with Patagonia Base layer to wick away sweat, North Face fleece to insulate and absorb some of the sweat, top off with this apex bionic for wind/water resistance. I prefer not to go down mid layer since Goretech doesnt allow soft shells like this jacket to breathe well as others, to let body moisture escape. Goretech provides more water/wind resistance in exchange for breathability
This video is a few years old, so I am not sure of the current prices. It is a nice jacket and is stylish. If it suits your build and style I say go for it. You could always check ebay and find a good deal. Thanks the for the comment.
So I just got a size small for black Friday and I've been contemplating sending it back for a size Medium. I had these back in high school and size small was perfect and even roomy, but with the Apex 2 I think they've re-designed it for a slimmer build. For reference, I'm 5'7, 165 lbs. Waist 33
Its been a few years since I made this video, so I am not sure if there are design changes etc. I am 5'8 160 currently and I would go Medium for sure. I would recommend getting the Medium but only you can know for sure. If you decided to swap, maybe you can leave a comment and others can learn from your trying on. Cheers!
This video is a few years old, so I am not sure of the current price today. I want to say they were around $80 buck. At the time, it did feel like good quality jacket. I thought it was stylish. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. THank you for commenting on my video!
