The North Face Apex Zip Shirt - Men's
The North Face Men's Apex Zip Shirt is an ultralight stretch shirt that's ideal as a midweight layer or a light softshell outer layer. Constructed from Ozo super light Apex Aerobic fabric, a lighter version of The North Face's well-respected softshell Apex fabric, the Apex Zip Shirt is a super comfortable, versatile top you'll want to have with you to wear at any time. Apex is a signature material by The North Face with an exclusive shell/fleece combination: the exterior offers a tightly woven abrasion-phobic face for protection, while the interior is soft-brushed for performance and comfort. The DWR (Durable Water Resistant) finish will keep moisture away in dry snow or light rains, but you'll want a hardshell for wetter conditions. The Apex Zip Shirt features a half-length center front zipper, one chest pocket, and elastic cuffs.

Apex Zip Shirt - men's medium
This stylish shirt is comfortable to wear over a base layer or next to the skin. It is stretchy, light in weight and very suitable for layering. This makes for a versatile garment. It sheds wind and light rain very well but you'll wish it breathed better when you're hiking uphill.
North Face Apex Shirt
Great versatile, lightweight jacket! Used it for hiking in the ADKs and it was perfect for the spring weather. Kept me dry until the hail and thunderstorms came around! It’s lightweight, easy to throw in a pack and go. Also was a great outer layer when XC skiing this winter!
Apex Zip Shirt
This is a great deal for what it is. It really blocks light wind and water. I love wearing it. The Apex is really comfortable and stylish. The only down side is when it is windy and you zip it all the way up, still wind comes down into the top and sometimes the bottom. Well that happens if you are small and skinny.
damn nice
Like the other reviews, I also wear this puppy for pretty much all occasions. It is ideal for morning hikes, and evening drinks. The subtle stretch factor promotes full agility, and the weight is perfect for layering. I would fully recommend it to all.
Haven't stopped wearing it
I haven't stopped wearing this shirt since I got it. This is a really great all-purpose spring/fall shirt/coat/thing. I use it for everyday stuff going from home to work and just love the hell out of it. I've also discovered I can layer it under my mesh-armored motorcycle jacket to give me a much more pleasant liner than the cheesy one that came with that jacket. Bottom line, this thing is really, really comfortable. Also, it's about the stretchiest thing I've ever worn, so it really is easy to forget you've got a weather resistant layer on at all.

Training Tips
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
