Apex 3/4 Zip Zeitgeist
Product Description
The North Face Men's Apex ¾ Zip Zeitgeist is a highly breathable water and wind resistant softshell shirt. This shirt has a trim athletic cut that coupled with 4 way stretch fabric allows for full overhead arm extension without pulling up the waist. The narrow waist fits comfortably under a harness, and is cut slightly longer in the back for better coverage. The 3/4 lenght front zip allows the shirt to put on or taken off with out removing your helmet, and has a small pocket at the top to keep the zip pull form agravating your chin. The sleeves have an articulated cuff with a narrow non restrictive elastic band at the wrist. There is a left chest napoleon pocket, and a right handwarmer pocket, [pity for us left handers] that sits above the harness belt. This shirt has an effective DWR that beads water nicely. Wind transference is 10cfm.Features

My View of the ZeitgeistIt is very comfortable under a harness, and functions well as an outer layer on cool mornings, or as a mid layer in colder conditions.
I prefer to have a lightweight polypro, or capilene t-shirt under it though, as the fabric is a bit rough on bare skin.
I paid @$65.00 for both of mine on sale. This shirt seems to be a common sale item at Backcountry.com and Mountaingear.com. It is available in black, blue, and a burnt red.
This is a product in which I am well pleased.
