Ranked #34 - Men's Fleece Jackets

pretty rad tnf fleece, i see practically everyone in denver wearing it, so, i was kinda iffy, and i can kinda understand why. it looks pretty good and is a pretty warm fleece with vents so you don't overheat. does fairly decent in the wind, but not the best, i'd go with the arcteryx apache. it is half zip, however, it's super water repellent and very very warm. it looks rad and it has laminated pockets and reinforced forearms. it has a much higher quality fleece. this is a cool fleece, just too pricy and not as much output as i'd expect. there's other several things i could recommend over this, however, it's still pretty nice.

When you use it correctly, it does it's job well enough. Just like I don't wear a 650 down in the middle of summer, it has it's place in what I choose. Some of the comments and reviews are accurate (good and bad), others are worthless, and don't have any other perceivable purpose or intention than to collectively spew forth like the masses of Denali wearing sheep you profess to despise. What's funny is how a stupid fleece jacket can invoke such a broadly hostile response. I guess nonconformity has become the new conformity. Does anyone really care that deeply if someone else buys this jacket, regardless of their motives? 3/4 of this page reads like everyone had a friend, who knew a guy, who knew a guy that died because he only had a this as his jacket.

haha...oh molex. everyone in denver where's eddie bauer too haha...and that's why i was a "little iffy."...another example..same thing goes for people from east texas which is where i grew up...practically everyone wears nascar caps and drives fords and chevy's....that does not indicate that nascar is the shizz and that i should rely on ford and chevy trucks which i dont. just gotta know a little bit about the crowd pal.

well molex... there is a lot of people in denver who think that TNF is the only outdoor brand out there. plus it's not as functional as everyone hypes it up to be. it's more of a fad and trend in denver for people who have no idea what they wear. it's like how everyone thought jnco's were cool in the 90's?...anyone else hear me on that...

"i see practically everyone in denver wearing it, so, i was kinda iffy" Come again? So you saw everyone in a very cold place all wearing the same coat, doesn't that indicate maybe it's good? Why would lots of people liking a piece of kit make you "iffy" about it? That makes no sense.

i can definitely agree with this post. mostly for casual, and not for serious backpacking/ anything intense.
