I don't see this thread going well, but I`ll try to help.......
Are you talking about the Apex bionic softshell winds copper, or one of the other models? Seems as if there's a few models of the jacket now.
If you are, its not warm enough for an upper Midwest, or any other cold winter. I carry a long sleeve fleece liner to go underneath. There are other makers of basically the SAME jacket for a cheaper price than what NF charges for theirs. Even at Target.
And NO, I DONT wear mine with my uniform.
