Great Jacket

By Brian Wong Ranked #72 - Men's Fleece Jackets 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.
