Engineered for thermal warmth and superb moisture transfer, the Apache AR is a light insulating layer that's perfect alone on sunny days or layered beneath a waterproof and breathable shell when the skies let loose. It's made with a velour-like Polartec Thermal Pro tweed fabric for comfort and moisture management. The gusseted underarm sleeves make this a superb choice for skiing, snowboarding or hiking in cool weather conditions. Weight-saving laminated elbow patches help minimize wear from abrasion on the elbows, but you may want to layer the Apache beneath a shell if you plan on taking extended backpacking trips. Stick energy bars or your car keys in the laminated chest pocket and you're good to go.
Versatile mid layer and the laminated arm patches are great
This is now my "go to" layer for just about any activity. The fit is athletic but comfortable and the style is very versatile. Compared to the Covert Cardigan this piece appears to be a little more robust. The laminated arm patches should help prevent wear and are a great feature. Recommended!
So great I bought 2!
The moment you pull this jacket it on you feel the warmth and perfect fit. While I am a Patagonia fan, this one is equal to or better than any R2 or R3. After wearing it in one color I bought another in black and just enjoy the casual, yet fitted look to the jacket.
Good Lookin!
Bought this for my oldest son and it is a great midweight jacket for our north Alabama winters!
