Functional but trendy mid-layer

With just about everyone you see with the Denali, the khumbu is just what the consumer wants for comfort and warmth without the heavy price tag. It's only a 200 weight fleece so you wont be getting the warmth of the 300 weight denali but it's pretty darn close. The new 2007 khumbu is redesigned with a better cut for women and a less bulkier collar. It has a fitted look that can be tightened with the draw string cords in the bottom hem and that adds to keeping you warm and toasty when it starts to get chilly. I wore this to a beach volleyball game in San Francisco and it didn't keep out the wind as much as I hoped but it's only polartec fleece and not windstopper. Adding a shell or layering a long sleeve underneath will keep you plenty toasty in 40 degree F. It's perfect for Nor Cal spring, chilly summer nights and even mild fall weather. Love it!
