The North Face Denali Hooded Fleece Jacket - Women's
Hood can be a good thing

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.
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.
