User Review: The North Face Men's Denali Jacket

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. I have two Denali Jackets which have served in a superior way for three years. Except for possibly a gale force rain event, waterproof and wind resistant. The best fleece you can buy and worth the price.
