Hey man thanks.. i think you need to buy the size small because i'm more bigger than you and i want softshell jacket that i can Wear With Fleece because i'm going to Travel but a lot of people used tied
Try to buy the ones made in Nicaragua. They are $25 more but worth it. The Apex Bionic Jackets made in China and Indonesia are for the outlet / online stores. I heard this directly from a former North Face employee.
Ask to see a pic of the inner label before you buy it online. It's worth it! I bought a large, green The North Face Apex Bionic jacket for US$49.00 free shipping on Ebay. With tax retail it should've been $179.85. Good Luck! Also, the Chinese copies are almost always Black with white logo. Try to find a jacket with off-colors like green with orange trim, blue with purple, etc... The Chinese are looking to make a fast dollar counterfeiting the most popular colors which are Black / white logo...BEWARE!
I felt kinda cold but not freezing in just a t shirt at around 0-5°C but I wasn't testing it for that but it was all I had and suddenly went 🥶 outside. But with layering it can definitely handle it.
Hey, i'm also from Israel, where woudl you recommend me to order it from? Here northface products are super expensive as you know. I thought ordering from an online store from usa or whatever... Also, about the size. A thermoball jacket fits me in M size, would you say a tall L size woudl fit me? I see they offer a tall version of this jacket but the smallest tall size version is L. I'm tall (1.95)... This jacket is not available at the stores in Israel so i can only ask people like you.
