The North Face Denali Wind Pro Fleece Jacket - Men's
Dude, this is really odd—your mouth is moving but I can’t hear a word you’re saying. What’s going on? Why did that tree over there just uproot and blow across the river? Hang on … it’s really windy out here, isn’t it. Huh, the Polartec Wind Pro and Power Shield material in this The North Face Denali Wind Pro Jacket really does work. Sweet.
Bottom Line: Warms your core while you improve your lip-reading skills.
My husband has had this jacket for 7-8 years and refuses to buy another one because there is nothing wrong with this one. I have the womens version. It is one of the warmest jackets out there. It's great for backpacking and snowshoeing. My husband uses it to layer under a shell on cold windy days on the mountain. They seem to be generously shaped for men with wide shoulders.
I was looking for a replacement to a fleece jacket I've had for over 10 years. I was looking for over a year for the perfect jacket. I wanted something warm but also wanted a jacket that was somewhat windproof. I looked at the original Denali jacket, but the fleece was to thick and I didn't need that heavy a jacket. It also wasn't windproof. The Denali Wind Pro Fleece was the perfect balance. It's not too thick for warm fall days and its not to light for cold days. When wind blew through my old fleece, it would send a chill right through me, but with this jacket I stay warm all the time. I looked at other windproof jackets from North Face, but I didn't like the velcro closure at the end of the sleeves. These sleeves have the elastic closure. After a lengthy search I finally found the perfect jacket.
Hello - just fleece on the interior. The windblocking characteristics of the fleece come from how dense the weave of the fabric, and is about 4 times more wind resistant than traditional fleece. The nice part is that there is no laminate to keep the fabric from being super breathable - nice combo. Hope this helps

Dan - I would like to clarify some of the statements Julian makes regarding Windwall which I do not find to be accurate. Comparing Wind Pro to Windwall is not comparing apples to apples. Wind Pro blocks about 4 times more wind than traditional fleece or about 60 CFM, and accomplishes this through a more dense weave. The Windwall on the other hand accomplishes it's windblocking characteristics through a laminate at about 14 CFM. Wind Pro lets through more wind through but is more breathable, while Windwall blocks more wind but is less breathable - like most fabrics from good companies, it's not a matter of trust - just finding the characteristics that fit your needs and budget. Hope this helps
This fleece is made up of two materials: (1) Power shield panels and (2) Wind Pro body. First, the power shield. Power shield is soft shell, so that means windproof and highly water resistant. Second, the wind pro. Wind pro is much like the windwall fabric in that it is not windPROOF but rather blocks out a great deal of wind. If you are looking for a technical, outdoor, windproof fleece, look elsewhere. But, if you are looking for a fleece with the classic styling of the denali and a bit more of a technical edge, you found it. To REALLY answer your question, it is more wind resistant due to its softshell panels, though the windpro section will be much like that of Windwall. Personally, I would trust a polartec fabric more than a TNF proprietary fabric, as Polartec makes fleece for a living. I know for a fact that the "windproofness" of windwall is not the very best, and Polartec would be my first choice for making something better. (There's a reason that marmot, arc'teryx, TNF, and patagonia are all switching from their own fabrics to Polartec's)
