TNF Hooded Denali Mens Jacket

By MC Ranked #41 - Men's Fleece Jackets January 7, 2009

Bought the Men's Lge. Cardinal Red TNF Denali Hoodie as a replacement to my older Denali Jacket with a discount. Otherwise, it's relatively still too expensive! Other companies make similar, if not better, fleece jackets (though not with a hood) for a whole lot less!

Listed as a 300-weight (heavyweight) fleece but feels like a 200-weight (midweight) fleece.

It's bulky and somewhat tight when using with a shell. Barely able to use a thin Polartec 100 pullover underneath for additional warmth as the jacket is basically true to size. If you want roominess, then order 1 size up but remember that it's BULKY so fitting it underneath a jacket may be a hassle if it's TOO roomy!

Indoors... it's warm but bulky and also stylish with the hood!

Outdoors... it'll depend on the weather and/or temperature! For something that's bulky, it lets the wind pass right through it so it's NOT warm on windy (cold) days!! Only the nylon-covered portions provide warmth against the wind, which doesn't help much!

The hood is a good and new feature which helps with the cold. Many people, like myself, forget to bring a winter cap/hat so a hood comes in handy!

The jacket IS OVERPRICED but expected of TNF products! Other makers (i.e. Eddie Bauer, LLBean, etc..) makes a better jacket using WindPro fleece fabric that does provide wind protection and warmth at a much lower price!!

Somewhat disappointed about the quality/feel of the fabric. It should be warmer but it's not.
May not consider another TNF jacket for another few years and will look for WindPro jackets instead.

In New England, it's not just cold, it's windy!
Must have a jacket to block out the wind, which this Hooded Denali Jacket does NOT do! At least it's relatively warm when worn underneath a shell or down jacket but not by itself!

Meant for:
- Cold weather - Yes, but not <35 degrees Fahrenheit. It's not that warm!
- Windy weather - NO, MUST wear a shell/jacket on top to block out wind!
