I was wondering. The 09' version of this jacket looks more like traditional fleece whereas the 10' version looks more like smooth semi-hardshell material. Product descriptions are the same but the look is different. Are they different?

also bought a '10 model and returned it. Had a WindWall from TNF since 2004, and its time to be replaced, I always like the look of the WindStopper, but I didnt like the tech fabric they've used. Its a nice jacket, and would be a pleasure to climb in with the cut, but its just not what I want from a fleece. I guess I'll get another Windwall...

JoshK. The jackets are pretty much the same. As mentioned in other answers, the only difference between '09 and '10 is price and the fact that we use Deflection Softshell in the shoulders and wear areas instead of a nylon taslan. In '09 we used a nylon taslan fabric in these areas. The fleece areas on the jacket are the same in both years. I hope this clears up any questions. Thanks!

Good eye, Josh. The old version was more traditional fleece. The new version of the jacket uses the tougher nylon fabric that was on the reinforced shoulders and sleeves of the old version, the material in the semi-hardshell designs of newer jackets.
