Great Jacket

The North Face WindWall Thermal Fleece Jacket - Men's

The North Face WindWall Thermal Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

I'm 5'6", skinny and bought a size small. Like the others said, this is a slim cut jacket...which suits me perfectly. I closed the cuffs a bit and the drawcords at the bottom to keep it all hug my body.

It has been getting windy lately, and the TNF Denali I had just didn't cut it. The wind would pass right through it, making me cold. I bought this jacket in blue and grey and I have to say that I love it. It looks great and its different from all the other people wearing the Denali, so that is great.

When the wind blows, this jacket stops it in its track. I have been wearing it weather in the 30's with nothing but a T-shirt underneath. I was still a bit chilly, but someone with more meat on their bones, it might be enough. Put something underneath it and you'll be good to go in cold weather. When it gets really really cold, I can zip it into my TNF outer shell. Although my one grip with this is that the zipper's handle can't be flipped to the other side when zipping into the shell, which makes it a bit hard to zip into it.

Some CONS for this jacket is that the shoulder pocket is quite small and you'd even have a hard time fitting an iPod into there. Also the elbow area of the arm has many seams and different pieces of fabric coming together, which makes it bunch up when you bend your arm. Both of these are very minor complaints.

Loving the jacket so far.

I would think you would be ok with a long sleeve underneath- I am wearing mine in the low thirties just fine.Just a t-shirt underneath, would be enough in 40-50F weather.

The jacket zips into TNF shells. It does not have the snaps on the cuff, but I don't think it matters too much.Unfortunately, like some of the other zip-in jackets, the zipper isn't the reversible kind which can be changed to the other side. This makes it a bit annoying to zip into the outer shell when the zipper tab is inbetween this and the outer shell.

The North Face WindWall Thermal Fleece Jacket - Men's

As a New Jersian(?) myself, I think you might be able to find it at Princeton Ski Shop on Route 3 in Clifton. I bought this jacket since it is pretty windy on my Campus in Queens, NY. The jacket is light-weight and should prevent the wind chill. It hasn't gotten too much colder than in the 30's so far, but if he puts on more than just a t-shirt underneath he should be pretty warm. When it gets to coldest of weather, he might need an outer shell, which can be zipped ontop of this and combined to become a heavier jacket. I haven't tested this jacket in the most extreme temperature yet.I've got the blue/grey one last week and I think it looks great. It is a slim cut for a medium/athletic build. The body's cut is a bit short, so if he wears a button-down shirt, the tail will hang out a bit.
