Good Casual Piece and Heavy Layering Piece

By Karl G. Ranked #630 - Men's Fleece Jackets February 1, 2010

The Denali is one of The North Face Company's best selling pieces and is very popular and you will see it everywhere you go on college students. It is almost a uniform top! As a layering piece, it is very warm and breathes very well, but is very bulky and heavy. Although it has DWR, it's ability to resist moisture and rain is minimal. Although some wind blocking is afforded by the panels across the front, over the shoulders and the elbows, wind whistles through the unprotected parts of the body and sleeves. It is very stylish, but you will be in a crowd of Denali wearers where ever you go. It's best uses are on a day with temps in the 30's, 0 wind, and no rain or as a super bulky wool sweater replacement. Better choices in The North Face line for people looking to have a jacket that can shed some light rain and provide warmth by blocking wind include Apex Bionic or the The North Face Apex Mckinley Softshell Jacket and the warmest choice, The North Face Apex Bionic Thermal Jacket. All are around the same price as the Denali and more versatile.
