Good and Bad

By Gone Fishing Ranked #5 - Men's Fleece Jackets December 25, 2010

The hood can be a very good thing on those cold and windy days and it can be really annoying when you are wearing this as a layer and it keeps getting in the way.

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.
