I would guess that your lucky boyfriend (lucky 'coz he'll be receiving a TNF product, oh yeah, and of course that you are so thoughtful and he has been blessed by the gods for having such a wonderful girlfriend like yourself...) is considering one of TNF Denali fleece jackets (one of the most commonly copied designs- even The Gap, Old Navy & L.L.Bean have similar designs) or, the Redpoint Hybrid (I am also considering getting one of these for myself, could you get in touch with my wife- preferrably before Xmas?). The Redpoint would be warmer, but the Denali fleece more versatile. The Denali Fleece has the sweater-like sleeves, with a nylon-type material on the upper half of the chest & shoulders. The Redpoint hybrid has a jacket-like shinier body (neck to waist) with what I think are fleece-type sleeves (its a newer design). Hope this helps! BACKCOUNTRY.COM rocks!
