The Wind Pro version is actually functional, unlike the regular Denali or Denali Thermal. The wind doesn't get through but the fleece is still warm and breathable. The only real difference visually is the textured finish on the fleece and the lack of one of the zippered pockets. Otherwise, the fit and look are identical to the other Denali. This coat feels like it's worth $200, the other doesn't. Highly recommended.

I bought this to replace a regular Denali that had seen its better days. This fleece, which uses Wind Pro, is much warmer, especially if there is any wind.

I've returned the regular denali in the past as this jacket was not out at the time. I've since moved onto Arcteryx jackets despite their higher price tags due to their fit, construction and choice of only top notch fabrics from Polartec. When I recently discovered a wind resistant version of the Denali stitched from Wind pro and Power shield fabrics, I decided to test it out as casual wear around town when I don't want to look too overly technical with the Arcteryx pieces.Power shield is awesome, its highly water resistant, it blocks ALL wind, and has high loft shag fleece on the inside while remaining soft and malleable. So you've got this as panels.Wind Pro is the most breathable wind resistant fleece from polartec, which has a inconspicuous grid pattern on the outside, and medium loft shaggy fleece on inside. It will let in strong wind gusts, but will keep everyday around town/campus wind chills out, thus you can wear this as a standalone piece unlike the regular Denali which is completely useless outside IMO. So you put these two top notch fabrics together and you have a FUNCTIONAL denali. Fits identical to the reg denali loose and comfy, this is slightly less bulky in thickness and does NOT have elbow panels. Lastly, unlike the regular denali which is classic piling fleece with nylon panels stitch on top, this Wind Pro version is actually made of two different fabrics stitched together, both featuring soft high/med shag fleece on the inside. Highly recommended.

this thing is HUUUUGE! i mean, i'm a large in pretty much all nf jackets 5'9'' 205. but this thing is huge,it's roomy around the body and the sleeves are long and big,like a clown shirt,n like others have said,i taught i had a flaw,i'm pretty sure it will perform good in the cold and windy conditions,but i might have to return it,cause i'm looking for midlayer fleece,this won't do the job,it's bulky

I ordered The North Face Denali Wind Pro Fleece Jacket - Men's, from backcountry.com on 12/19 @5pm. It was confirmed & shipped 3 hours later. I was not familiar with this website, but it was sold out on multiple other sites. I just received it in the mail on 12/21 at 2pm. Did I mention it was free 2 day shipping? I just received the jacket & have not worn it outside yet, but it was exactly as described in perfect condition wrapped in 2 plastic bags. Can't wait to try it out! Very happy with backcountry.com.

Light and comfortable but imho still has too much cloth in it as the reg. Denali. I normally wear a TNF L for jackets and this one seem too large (too long and too ample sleeves and shoulders a bit too wide) but I'm affraid the M will have the collar too short and that's important for me.Chest has good fit but could be tighter so maybe an M would be better for me (I'm 178cm = 5.84' / chest: 41-42'' / waist: 34-36'')You better try it first or be shure you can exchange the size if you need to.

This is a warm jacket, there is no doubt about it. In 40 * F, with wind, I was comfortable walking around with a T-shirt under.

However, as with most North Face products, the sizing is very odd. I am 5' 11", 165 lbs, so a pretty average sized guy. The small fits well enough through the torso and chest but is SHORT; conversely, the Medium was long enough, but I swam in it. Even with the small, there is waayyyyy too much cloth in the arms. The arms look like the arms of those tunics that medieval princes used to wear, where they balloon out from bicep to mid forearm and basically just look ridiculous. Even in the small, there was too much material in the body.

I can squeeze this under my MHW Typhoon shell for blizzards/cold rains, but it's TIGHT in the arms and restricts motion. Also VERY bulky for taking along on fall backpacking trips; I packed into the Maroon Bells this fall, and this took up a gigantic chunk of space in my pack.

All in all, a decent coat for around town and casual use. Would highly NOT recommend for outdoor activities, due to poor fit and sizing and use of extra material...only person whose arms would fit normally in the Denali Wind Pro sleeves would be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Will be returning and looking for a similar product from Pata or Marmot.

The Denali Wind Pro is a huge step up from the regular Denali. The regular Denali is like a sieve when the wind blows so it is not warm at all unless you have a windproof shell over it. By itself the Denali Wind Pro does a good job of keeping the wind out and the high loft fleece interior keeps you nice and warm. I am 5' 7", 150 lbs. The size small fit me perfectly but there was still room to fit another layer underneath for those really cold days. The only drawback that I could find with this jacket is the pockets for your hands. The pockets have a mesh backing so your hands will get cold if any wind gets under the jacket.

I have worn this jacket for about a month now and it performs great, except it is not as windproof as North Face advertises. I recommend that you wear a light weight fleece top under it if you are going to wear it in cool, windy weather.

I bought this jacket for my husband. Usually, he is a TNF size LG, but when this jacket arrived it fit a bit big. It fit wider than normal, and the sleeves seemed longer. I exchanged it for a MD, and he loves it. It's thicker and much warmer than the regular Denali jacket. I liked it so much I got myself one in a small. I love this jacket. Definitely wind proof and keeps you warm at the same time.

I was looking for a replacement to a fleece jacket I've had for over 10 years. I was looking for over a year for the perfect jacket. I wanted something warm but also wanted a jacket that was somewhat windproof. I looked at the original Denali jacket, but the fleece was to thick and I didn't need that heavy a jacket. It also wasn't windproof. The Denali Wind Pro Fleece was the perfect balance. It's not too thick for warm fall days and its not to light for cold days. When wind blew through my old fleece, it would send a chill right through me, but with this jacket I stay warm all the time. I looked at other windproof jackets from North Face, but I didn't like the velcro closure at the end of the sleeves. These sleeves have the elastic closure. After a lengthy search I finally found the perfect jacket.

We have had a severe cold spell here in SW Colorado. The average temperatures lately have been between -5 and -10 degrees Fahrenheit. I have an Eddie Bauer WindPro 300 jacket (First Ascent Point Success) but I was feeling cold, so I saw this online and thought it might be warmer.....WRONG! Even though the Denali Wind Pro weighs 8 oz more, I was actually colder wearing it than wearing my lighter Eddie Bauer jacket. There are several cons to this jacket, listed below:

---HUGE! I am 6'1, 185, and positively SWIM in a Medium. It's so big it doesn't fit under my Mtn HardWear shell. The arms are cut to fit Arnold Schwarzenegger! The reason this coats weighs 8 0z more than my Eddie Bauer is because there are copious amounts of extra cloth in the coat. If you intend to ski or do any winter activities in this coat, I think you'll have a hard time fitting it under most shells.

----SHORT! The Medium barely comes 1" past my waist, so I tried the Large, but it's so huge I could fit myself and my dog in it (30 lb beagle!), and it still did not fit tightly.

---Expensive. As with all TNF gear.

That all said, if you are built like a professional weight lifter, then this is probably a good coat for you. But the fact that most people are not, and that my WindPro 300 weight Eddie Bauer coat was half the price, a better fit, and warmer, really turns me off. This coat is headed back!!

As soon as I read the complaints at this site about the sleeves being too long/baggy. I know I've found a perfect jacket. I'm between small and medium (5'7", 150 lbs). A small fits me well but not around the armpit (being too tight). Denali jacket is a little looser around the armpit therefore this is a perfect TNF jacket on me yet. This jacket isn't like the regular Denali jacket, much better in my opinion. The reason this jacket is shinier in texture; therefore it has the look of an Apex type of jacket. I haven't tested in the wind yet, but if it is anything like my other Windwall 2 jacket... I'm sure I will be happy. This black jacket is sharp. BTW, I tried it as a middle layer with my TNF Heathen technical shell; I'm very happy as well.

I'm so happy with it. I just got a red one as well. :)

My husband has had this jacket for 7-8 years and refuses to buy another one because there is nothing wrong with this one. I have the womens version. It is one of the warmest jackets out there. It's great for backpacking and snowshoeing. My husband uses it to layer under a shell on cold windy days on the mountain. They seem to be generously shaped for men with wide shoulders.

Great product, but oversized. NF large usually fits me well as outerwear (6', 160lbs), but this NF large was ginormous - especially in sleeves. Returned & got a medium - fits much better. Sleeves are still ever-so-slightly long (& have too much material in them). Otherwise fits well. I usually wear a NF large for outerwear, but would suggest ordering one size down for this one & expect extra length/material in sleeves.

I initially bought the regular Denali and was disappointed. It was not wind-proof at all. For the extra money the Wind Pro is the way to go. FYI..the fabric is not a typical fleece. It is more formal looking than a regular fleece. I wear it to work with dress pants & shirt and it looks great. Absolutely worth the extra money over the regular Denali. Also, Backcountry.com was excellent about the exchange.

I originally bought the lower end Denali for my husband for x-mas. When it was too small and I had to exchange it for a bigger size, upon reading the reviews about that Denali jacket, my husband said he would prefer to try this Pro Denali. I would have probably ordered the red one for him, but because he knew about it and got to see it, he wanted the Mountain Blue. He was so excited about the color when it arrived (it's actually really a great and different shade of blue), and couldn't wait to try it outdoors. It's a huge hit, he just loves this jacket and can't rave about it enough! He actually looks for things to do outside (i.e., chores) just to have the opportunity to wear it!!! I initially cringed at the price, but after seeing the substantial difference in quality from the original Denali that I had to return, it definitely made the cost worthwhile!!! I would highly recommend this jacket!!!

so far so good..where i live, hasen't been cold enough for me to really give it a good check ride..one thing i don't like about fleece jackets is st
atic shocks..but i really like the looks of this jacket..chili pepper red and black.. Plus i loved your service..( i would have even liked it more if it had been Arkansas Razorback Red ):

This coat does not quite live up to the title of Wind Pro. You still need a shell with any cold wind. Plenty warm in calm conditions. Probably will not get another in the future. Especially at around 2 bills. I purchased this coat based mainly on its name. Denali Wind Pro. I would stick with the original Denali, and use a shell when necessary. Overall you gotta love TNF gear! I am 52 years old, and in the high country every chance I can, so I really put it to the test.

I love this jacket. It's not bulky and it is warm. After reading the reviews on the two most popular models in the stores - each seemed to have a weakness; warmth or wind proof. I read about the Denali Wind Pro Fleece @ NF and decided to roll the dice. Very pleased with my decision. It's different than what almost everyone else has (from NF) - and I've received several positive comments about it.

So far I like it for a casual jacket but not so much as a layering piece. The sleeves are a bit bulky and this jacket will keep you warm to about 38-40 degrees. If you want to pair this with ski gear the bulky sleeves will be an issue.

Pro - Smooth so less fleece balls
Windproof
Warm
Rain Resistant shoulders
Stylish

Con - Pricey
Loose fit epically in sleeves

Look at Patagonia and Monkey Man.

I will agree that the windstopping power is absolutely incredible. It is not that warm though and less warm than the regular denali in regular conditions. you need thermal layers underneath this defineately

By far this is the best, North Face product I had bought, and I have purchased quite a few. Well worth the money and true to its claims, it is actually wind proof. I recently got a chance to test it over the weekend skiing in Aspen. Keeps you warm and dry in any weather conditions you might face atop the mountain. Remarkably light weight yet very durable. Bottom line; This Is The Best Fleece Out There, NO Bull Shit.

Originally purchased the large and I normally wear the Northface Denali in a large. As everyone has stated, this jacket is bulkier and bigger than the Denali so I'd recommend considering a medium as it is a much better fit. Overall, I've been pleased with my purchase!

i think others have said it before, it is a bit big and boxy, but it leave room for other layers underneath. i think it fits well. i am tall and skinny and the large works good for me.
the wind pro is advertised as 100% windproof, but it is definitely not. however, it does give good protection against the wind. i like this fleece!

I ordered this jacket for my husband. He really wanted something that would keep him warm but wouldn't be extremely thick & heavy. We had been searching for months. When I found this jacket on this website, it was exactly what he was wanting. Great Price!! The jacket looked good and fit well!

This is one great product, it actually does what it say's. I use a sweatshirt under and I can go anywhere in any weather.

This fleece is well worth the money compared to any regular denali. It withstands wind and cold very well and fits great as a zip-in inside layer. My only gripe with it is the lack of pit zips for ventilation. The pockets are deep and are mesh on the inside, if it is a warmer day outside I just keep the pockets open to vent out the heat. I'm 5'10" and a large fits me perfectly. The textured look of the fleece also looks a lot better than the regular denali. Overall my favorite insulator.

I just purchased this jacket and I really like it. Some background, I am 5'11" and weight 205, wear a 46 jacket, and a 16 1/2" / 34" dress shirt. I ordered the large TNF Varius Guide Jacket, and TNF Denali Windpro, both in black. I wanted a modular system that I could and would wear individually as well as together. I wanted a jacket that I could wear to work (this is why black) and could wear walking the dog, as well as wear skiing every other year.

I orginially ordered the Windwall II and didn't like it. The fleece was nice but the jacket was non-descript and I wasn't thrilled with the look and fit.

I am very happy with the combo I ended up with. I live in Minneapolis and have worn both jackets separately and together over the past 6 days. I would say that I'm comfortable in the Denali Windpro in the 20's, and with the combined jacket in the teens. The Guide would not be comfortable below 40. I haven't worn any of them in significant wind yet.

The fit of each jacket for me is great but they are tight together. Regarding the Guide, it differs from the 3 in 1 jackets in that it doesn't hide the zipper in the collar as well. The pit zips are tight when you first put it on but you adjust quickly and it is not so much the tightness as it is the rigitity of the zipper. Very happy with the look and fit. Powderskirt will be a nice bonus - the Windwall did not have one.

Regarding the Windpro, it is one of the best jacket's I've ever owned. I tried on regular Denali's and I can tell you hands down this is a much nicer jacket. The Denali feels thicker and bulkier, and in some cases has cinderella sleeves (puffy at the seam). The tightly knit fabric in this coat feels nice and thin and won't ball up. The sleeves are plenty long and will fit you if you have a 35" dress sleve. The only reason to get the regular Denali in my opinion is if you are going to wear it inside a shell and you require a hood or pit zips. Otherwise this is the jacket for you.

My husband LOOOVES it!He's 6' &200, size L fited perfect.The fleece looks more formal than the regular denali so he can wear with dress shirt or casual shirt. The blue color is so beautiful, it does block the wind very well & very comfortable. Thank you Backcountry for a great deal.

Don't waste your money on the other Denali. This is the one to get.

Brethren,

Whether your rocking your day away in town or 'squatching' in the middle of nowhere, this jacket repels everything but bullets. It is worth every penny and if you whine about the fit, you are not a true outdoorsman/woman. The Boys Scouts motto is "Be Prepared". This jacket embodies it to the max! Make one jet-black and slap a "Punisher" skull on it and I'd buy stock in The North Face!
