The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket - Men's
It's Warm, it's trendy, it's too much $$$$

Ranked #30 - Men's Fleece Jackets

I own 2 Denali Jackets. I bought one myself and received the other as a gift. They are pretty warm and well constructed, but let's be honest, it's mainly the "must have" winter accessory for cold weather college campuses. I think 80% of the students had one at my liberal arts college in NY. If you want it for the label, it's probably worth the $160 price tag, but if you want the best function for you $$$$, they are way better options for less money. Get a windproof fleece, you will thank me later. A 200 Weight Windproof fleece is way warmer than a 300 weight Denali, and can be had for $150 or less.

Thanks for your input on the jacket. I have also found that North Face gear poorly made and way over priced.. I was interested in a ofrrfer I seen but I have second thoughts now. Thanks Mike
