Heavyweight Fleece
By Gone Fishing
Ranked #5 - Men's Fleece Jackets
December 18, 2010
This jacket is made from recyled fleece. Very warm 300 Polartec fleece works great for layering on really cold days under a shell or as a stand alone jacket if it is not really windy. Abrasion resistant material in areas of high wear, especially your backpack straps.
I like that it has the pitzips which are a great feature. Probably the most stylish jacket that TNF makes. Cinch cords at the hems for custom fit. This fleece is a direct zip-in to many of the North Face shells.
The Cons: This fleece is very expensive and is not wind nor waterproof. The wind will cut right through this jacket if used as a stand alone. For full price I think there are better alternatives available if used for a technical jacket.
