Ranked #1658 - Men's Fleece Jackets
March 16, 2009
Ok, well I have been wanting one of these for a while. At 99 bucks on sale from Back Country I had no more excuses. I got a black one.
The free shipping was quick and the key word being free. Awesome.
Bottom line, This fleece jacket is warm. I have a 12 year old Polartec 300 from another company and this new 300 classic stuff is about twice as warm.
It holds up in cold, damp, misty conditions. Drizzle just beads off. It will also keep you warm in low to moderate winds in the 40s and 30s. It hasn't been any colder than that this spring here in San Antonio.
For rain and high winds, I recommend a shell but yeah, this is a fleece jacket so that sorta goes without saying. The Denali makes for a good stand alone jacket in most average conditions, or a toasty insulator under a shell.
Great pockets and the vent zips come in handy too.
The Denali's looks are great. People take notice of the jacket. Many people want to touch the fleece. So some admire and some are jealous. What really matters is I like it. :) I hope it lasts as long as my older Polartecs that I still wear even today. I rate the Denali as a good investment for those who like what fleece has to offer.
Thanks Back Country!
