Liking it more and more

I got this jacket for xmas, almost right after taking a trip to NYC and seeing everyone and their mother wearing TNF apparel. That being said, I would have never bought this jacket thinking everyone wore it just because..everyone else wore it. It's a great looking jacket and I thought it was just for style.But, like I said, I got it as a xmas gift from my girfriend, so i had to wear it for a little while. It is a nice jacket and replaces an older jacket I wear to work that needed to be not worn in an office environment. It worked great, it kept me warm in upstate NY, and only moderate to strong winds penetrated it.I kinda was thinking of returning it because I wanted a REAL mid layer jacket, not a half zip. But before that, I had a trip up marcy planned, I had brought another mid and wore my denali in the car to the trailhead, and at the last minute I decided to give the denali a shot knowing that it would be sunny during the trip. I tell you, this jacket performed awesome! As body temps rose, and they did as we showshoed up, the pit zip are easily opened and I was not uncomfortable the whole time. When the peak hit, I threw on my shell and stayed perfectly warm in 50 mph winds.It worked perfectly as intended; a synthetic fleece mid layer. I can't wait to try it out again in the backcountry, until then, I can look good in it at work...since no one here wears one :)
