Description The mother of all fleece jackets, this is a TNF staple. A super warm layering piece for cold weather expeditions. It's also a great looking piece for around town on chilly fall days, or cool summer ni...
Summary: the Denali jacket was something i had been wanting to purchase, partially because of its popularity. when i bought it and put it on, it was soooo comfy and the fleece really does feel so good against your skin. i don't really have a lot of complaints about the jacket, although i will say that it does let in some drafts on cold days, so a sweater is needed when it goes below say 45 degrees. otherwise, a great jacket!
Customer Service: good

Summary: Excellant jacket! I could not believe some of these reviewers complaining about its lack of windstopping ability--such a function should play no part in the review score as it is not advertised nor inherent within the jackets material (I'm using the older 300wt fleece model and not the newer windpro fleece which is only wind resistant not windproof). The fact that this jacket is not windproof means that it breathes much better therefore making it excellant to wear while traversing the trails or any other such activity outside of climbing where open exposure to the wind will zap your strength.
I usually don't care much for North Face equipment anymore--I'm fed up with their inconsistent sizing from year to year, and some of their equipment is quesionable as far as durability is concerned. But the Denali jacket is a wonderful heavy weight fleece jacket for winter excursions. Should it get windy--then don your parka. I love the styling, and the durability is exceptional.

Summary: Definately a good jacket for day hikes and around town stuff... warm as anything when layered under a windproof shell of some sort. Nice feature is that it zips into other TNF products like their mountain light parka. Bad side: if you are a weight concious hiker or backpaker, this isn't for you. After discovering a certain other company's windstopper fleece, this thing will see more closet time than trail time, trust me. Still, for what it is, it is high quality.
Customer Service: never had to deal with them

Summary: I can't tell you how many different fleece coats I've had from different
manufactures. I recently bought my first North Face Denali Jacket online at
www.4beartooth.com for $129.00. This fleece is out of this world. I'm an
avid backpacker / outdoor sporting enthusiest and really push my gear to its
limits. The Denali took everything I threw at it. Very durable to the point
of almost being indestructable. I love the underarm ventilation. You can go
from feeling "as snug as a bug in a rug" to "where's that draft coming from"
in two quick unzips. I also really appreciate the padding on the chest and
elbows. When you are spending alot of time blowing on embers perched on your
elbows, you soon realize what a plus this is. I hope this helps
Customer Service: Great Customer Service. Called for UPS tracking number and had no problems getting the info I needed from them
