The perfect jacket

Rating:*****
Since I love my own Apex Bionic jacket so much, I bought one for my son and it was money well-spent. The jacket is lightweight and breathable, yet is also waterproof (to a point...but that point takes quite a while to reach) and windproof. It's the perfect jacket to wear when you're not sure what the weather's going to be like, or if it's prone to change without notice (as it often does here in the north GA mountains). Highly recommended.
