From Backcountry.com:
"Out of all of The North Face's products, the Men's Denali Fleece Jacket stands out as the go-to choice for versatile outdoor performance and around-town style. From a ski trip to Vail to a stroll through the city in the fall, you'll appreciate the warmth, weather protection, and softness of the Denali Jacket's DWR-coated Polartec 300 heavyweight fleece. Abrasion-resistant nylon at the elbows and upper body blocks wind and increases water resistance."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Designed for mountaineering, the North Face Denali Jacket is perfect for a wide range of outdoor activities, including (but certainly not limited to) camping, kayaking, backpacking, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, fly fishing... you get the idea: If it's cold and you're going outside, go with your North Face Denali Fleece Jacket. The North Face Denali is made with Recycled Polartec 300 Series water-repellent fleece for added weather protection. The North Face Denali Jacket's multi-position sleeve zip vents help keep you dry and comfortable when you're heating up while climbing and four zippered pockets help you keep your gear organized."

"I like all the big pockets. Jacket breathes very well and is perfect for mild conditions or as a layer for extreme conditions. 6'1" 185 order Lrg."

"Now an old standby, the Denali Jacket by TNF remains the yardstick by which fleece jackets are measured. It has evolved slightly from its early days, and not entirely for the better, but it remains a top-notch outdoor utility fleece jacket.

My only complaint is its success."

"The Denali is the warmest, most durable fleece I have owned. While a technical jacket, it is casual enough to wear in town. The multi- position pit zips allow variable venting on the jacket.

My only issue was the inside seams at the torso chafed my sides below the ribs. Aside from this minor issue, I would recommend this jacket to anyone who loves the outdoors."

Reviewed by C. Phillips, Nov 28, 2008

"Yes, it is expensive but it is far superior to any other fleece. Nylon reinforcements on sleeves and shoulders insure long life against abrasion. 300 weight fleece keeps me warm to 30 degrees or so depending on wind chill.

I also have a Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man fleece, and an considering having sleeve reinforcements added to this garment due to excessive matting of the material at the elbows."

"This is a great jacket. I'm not much for North Face but it gets the job done with ease. This is one of the most durable long lasting jackets I own. It is lightweight and warm and can be worn in many climates. It has everything I would look for in a jacket I would wear everyday and a jacket I would take hiking/camping with me."

"A great fleece jacket. For warmth this is the best fleece I have ever worn. Great quality. The one issue I have is with wind. The jacket is so warm, I often wear it with a short sleeve shirt on underneath. It keeps me warm, however if the wind picks up to above 10mph, you will catch brief drafts that come through the fleece."

"Lucky to find this jacket at a North Face outlet. Have owned it for about four years. Wear it daily in the winter either on its own or zipped into a North Face summit series XCR shell. The Denali is warm and has shown no signs of wear in the past four years."

"I love the Denali. I bought it almost a year ago on Ebay, new with tags, and have loved it ever since!! The classic 300 fleece keeps me very warm even in the below 0 temperatures during the Wyoming winters. I also own the North Face Apex Bionic Jacket and it's a dilemma every day of which jacket to wear!!"

"This is by far the warmest and most rugged fleece jacket I have ever seen or owned. Granted, you are paying $50-70 extra for that small little "The North Face Logo" on the jacket, but in many ways. . . you DO get what you pay far.

My wife laughed at me for two years saying that she bet her $15 Chinese slave-made Wal-Mart fleece jacket was just as warm as my Denali."

"[LONG review] I am hard on all of my gear and these are pretty durable all things considered. I have had two now, over the last five years, pretty rugged for what is a light jacket. I had the first generation with the copper cuff snaps and I feel the fleece has been improved in the newer model (Polartec)."

"This is a decent piece. I cannot complain about price because mine was given to me for free, but after two years of use I am not sure that I would tell someone that it is worth the $165 price tag. The one shining characteristic of this piece is the durability."

No problems with anything so far. I have used it alone in subzero temps and it still kept me warm.

You are not wasting any money if you buy this jacket."

"This is the best fleece jackets I've ever had. The first time I tried it on, it felt very comfortable and warm almost like I have worn it before. The multiple pockets are very useful and I use practically every one of them, I also like the pit-zips, as they increase the breathability of an already very breathable jacket."

"I live in this fleece, love the underarm zips for ventilation and the big, tight collar, but I don't like the windproofing on the shoulders, neck and forearms. These get wet when I sweat and take ages to dry again. This defeats the object of a fleece for me."

"This fleece is worth every cent. Light weighted, warm, and even have zippers at the arm pit for ventalation.

Over all this fleece is extraordinary. North Face did a great job!

Still, $160 is alot. Timberland fleece same style sells for $50."
