So, first off, everyone that is complaining about this fleece doing nothing for you in the wind needs to understand that this jacket was designed to breathe as an insulating layer. I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota and before I moved here I lived in the Foot Hills of northern Colorado. I use these jackets all year round and find that if it is a static, cold night I am just fine with a T-shirt and my Denali down to about 15 degrees F. Another thing to consider is the durability of this fleece. I have gear from other brands for more technical applications that are great, but they would never hold up to the daily abuse that my Denali gets (the only thing tougher are my Arcteryx's Pro-shell and my Carhartt). All in all this is the coat that comes with me on every trip I take, and goes with me when I do not know what the weather will be like on a night out. Solid piece, just do not expect it to do everything because it has "TNF" logo on it.
