No other fleece piece sells like The North Face Denali Jacket. The reasons are versatility and smart design. The 300-series Polartec fleece fabric offers exceptional insulating warmth that easily works as a middle layer during winter skiing or as an outer layer while backpacking or camping in the summer. The North Face reinforced the key abrasion areas along the elbows and shoulders so you don't have to worry about the frayed pilling and worn fabric found on cheap fleece pieces. The North Face also designed their Denali Jackets to zip into other shells made by The North Face, although keep in mind that you'll need to verify that the jacket is matched in the same exact size and is deemed zip-in compatible by The North Face.
