Description of The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket - Women's:
After years as The North Face's top-selling fleece, the Women's Denali Jacket is ... still on top. The versatility of this expedition-weight fleece makes it a top pick for everything from hanging in base camp to chilling on campus. The North Face uses abrasion-resistant 2-ply nylon on the shoulders to add wind resistance and reduce wear from backpack straps, so you don't have to replace it after a season of hiking local trails or tripping across Europe. This renowned water-resistant fleece takes on a day in the mountains as easy as a trip downtown.
Note: To be kinder to the environment, The North Face now manufactures all Denali Jackets with recycled Polartec 300 fleece. Colors with an 'R' in front of the name feature recycled fleece.
Hands down the most versatile jacket I own, definitely stands up to the tests I've given it and the price it carries. The 300 weight fleece is the heaviest of the fleece lines for North Face and the water wicking fleece fabric comes in handy when you get caught in a light drizzle. The reinforced nylon shoulders protect your jacket from carrying around a backpack or shoulder bag. The 2007 Denali line for women has improved so much since it's older counterparts. TNF lost the pit zips and cut the jacket slimmer. It keeps you very warm without holding in sweat and is the jacket to buy if you have to buy only one fleece. For those who want a less expensive but similar type jacket. The North Face Khumbu or Pumori would be the next obvious choice.
I was very dissapointed when I received my jacket and found that it does not have the underarm vents like the men's Denali jacket. Women don't sweat or what. The jacket also has one less front pocket than the men's. The North Face is charging the same amount for a much less technical jacket. I returned mine. The North Face has not answered emails regarding this issue either.

After getting this fleece in pink for Christmas a couple years ago, I decided to buy a black one. I ordered it in Medium, as my pink one is a Large, and it is pretty baggy. When the medium arrived (in 4 business days!!! so fast), it was wayyyyy too small. This is a great jacket, I just wish their sizing had a middle ground for those of us who are in between! (I'm 5'10" & wear a 8 or a 10) The sleeve length and chest diameter were my main complaints about the medium. The product itself is VERY high quality, and I could not be happier with your site as a retailer. Thank you!
