Completely wonderful experience... I placed an order for the North Face Denali jacket for my son and the representative I was speaking with was so personable, informative, knowledgeable and patient as I tried to determine what size would be best. This is a superior site for customer service, order tracking, receipt of merchandise as promised, return suggestions (which I didn't need because the jacket was perfect!). I even recommended it to my son for any outdoor wear he might need in the future. Great jacket, great site - great choice all around.

Excellent product for the right price ! The North Face brand has quality in itself. It's very difficult to find a great product at the right price. The North Face Denali Jacket has both high quality and the right price. Polartec®300 is espacially useful during cold weather and abrasion-reinforced chest, elbows and shoulders make it useful in a windy conditions. Whether you are a weekend climber or avid fisherman this product will keep you warm. Also, it was a pleasure to work with altrec team. I was informed about everything and delivery arrived as promised.

Denali Jacket I already owned a Denali Jacket and my boyfriend loved it so much, he wanted me to order one for him, so I did. They work great as a winter jacket and you don't have to worry about the bulkiness of a big parka.

Excellent cold weather coat. This coat is top quality. It is very warm, comfortable and durable. This is the second coat I purchased for my husband and he loves it. He works outdoors and uses it all winter long. It is great in wind, snow and cold weather. The price was $50 less than the other stores and I wouldn't buy any other brand.

Great Value and Great Service I bought the jacket for my 16 year old son. I was going to save it and give it to him on his birthday in October but it was so nice I couldn't wait. He loves it and has been wearing it to school nearly everyday.... in Savannah Georgia!. Shipping was free and I received it in like 3 days.

They don't come any better than this! TERRIFIC! I bought the men's Denali for my son, and he loves it. Based on our experiences with North Face - he'll be wearing it for years to come and then passing it on down to the younger ones. The bonus: we got a great deal on it from Altrec! Thanks

Good Jacket, but expensive for what it is TNF Denali is a nice jacket, quality construction and nicely styled, however for the price i would have liked the jacket to be windproof because it will only keep you warm on cold days when its not windy, while most cold days are probably going to be windy

Great We ordered this for our teenage son. A lot of other kids his age have North Face Denali jackets. We were concerned about this being a "trendy" purchase, but the jacket is great, well-constructed, and with the lifetime warranty, a great value.
The ordering process at Altrec was easy and the jacket arrived on time.

Exceptionally well made jacket I bought this jacket because everyone else around here had one and loved the ones they wore. The jacket is extremely well-made. It's very warm, and I love the assortment of pockets. I also like the way it looks on me. The only downside to the jacket is that it doesn't fit as well as I would like. It's cut and made a little larger than any of my other jackets in the same size. I actually wished that I had ordered a size smaller instead of the size I always order and wear in other pieces of apparel.

Decent jacket, but pills easy and no wind protection The Denali is a pretty good jacket, it's warm and good for things like snowshoeing and skiing when the weather is moderate. Be aware it offers no wind protection, any breeze will pierce the jacket immediately, and the fleece pills surprisingly easy. For $165 I would expect a bit more, but you're also paying for the brand name. I'd buy it again though if you're looking for wind protection, the North Face Apex might be a better choice.

What a deal. I have wanted a North Face Denali for a long time and just bought this jacket a week ago. The price was unbeatable. The jacket is great for hiking in. I really like the pocket set up and the way the jacket feels. One point of interest the jacket does run a little bit bigger than I expected. But with some layers it seems to work out just right. A definite must have.

if heavier weight fleece is your goal...this is it... I bought a Denali on sale at Altrec because a heavyweight polartec fleece jacket, is one piece of fleece I don't own..and I've heard about the Northface Denali jacket forever. The Denali's a quality product from Northface, but in reality, I find I use my lighter, windbloc fleeces from Mountain Hardwear and EMS on a more regular basis...because, windproof is one thing the Denali is not....When maintaining body core warmth in windy, winter conditions while x-country skiing is crucial, I'll take windbloc fleece everytime...

Men's Denali Jacket -- Solid warmth I purchased this jacket after owning several North Face jackets. It doesn't disappoint! It is well constructed with great fit, and is a good stand alone jacket for cooler weather [transitional between winter and fall/spring]. The North Face is always good for solid construction, nice features, and good fit. I am one who appreciates two hand pockets to warm the cold hands on a cold morning of camping -- this jacket is great! It gets five stars on style, fit, comfort and warmth! I've come to expect such things from The North Face. If you are looking for a jacket that is warm, functional, and comfortable, look no further -- this one has it.

Decent It's a decent jacket. It is fashionable and can keep you warm. It does an okay job of blocking wind and keeping moisture out but not as good as it should be for its price. The jacket is a little fuzzy which picks up lots of hair, fuzz, and lint which is annoying. It runs a little large too. This jacket is more for its looks than for performance.

A Good Jacket - Up to a Point I just bought the Denali Jacket recently, after having worn out an old fleece jacket ( polartec 300 as well ) from Campmor . It is stylish, comfortable and warm, although a bit bulky and big, which makes it difficult to use as part of a layer system. For that kind of usage I would have to purchase an oversized wind shell. North Face is not normally price-friendly and this jacket is no exception to this trend. Overall, though, it is a good buy, a versatile piece of garment. It is wind resistant ( up to a point ). The fabric repels water ( up to a point as well ). I have hiked in constant drizzle for hours and still felt dry and warm with this jacket.

Fits perfectly, Came right on time, my son loves it! I purchased this jacket for my son for Xmas.
The jacket came before Xmas, as promised and
the size was perfect 2XX. He's 6'4" and the]
length was perfect. It seems that this jacket is very "in" right now, because he
was thrilled to receive it and hardly ever takes it off!

AS ALWAYS, IT IS GREAT! I am sorry but there just isn't one BAD thing with my new Denali jacket. I love it (as I knew I would). Can't wait for it to get very cold again and be able to stay toasty warm. And as usual Altrec was great - quick, helpful and responsive. Keep it up, Altrec. That is why we keep coming back!

Classic and Eternal The North Face Denali belongs in the Museum of Classic Clothing along with Levi 501s, Merrell Jungle Mocs, and, well, you get the idea. No it's not Goretex, and it's not a soft shell, it's fleece, with all that implies. And if you look at the construction, you'll see why it costs most than the clones. It's all in the details, the authenticity, and the execution.

Great Jacket if you get it on Sale. The Denali is a pretty good jacket. It work best in moderate conditions (30-55 deg). I think it might work best inside a shell as it offers no wind protection, any breeze will pierce right throught it. So, set your expectations right for the $165.00
I got it on sale and am happy with what I paid for. The folks at Altrec are great. Easy transaction.

Zipper Issues This jacket is warm, but I was unable to zip it into my TNF shell because one zipper did not cooperate. I finally gave up after tearing the bottom portion of the zipper from the jacket..
Altrec-The North Face changed the zippers on their jackets some time in 2000-2001, so as a result some jackets depending on age will not be compatiable.

Best Deal on What I Wanted This is only the second time purchasing from Altrec, but most likely won't be my last due to their deals that others don't offer. I was happy to see the color denali I'd been interested in was a discount color with a discounted price. I appreciated that. I was able to get the desired size because I went to a local outdoor store to size-test. But they had no competitive prices, therefore Altrec got my business.

Best Fleece Ever, You may or may not like the pitzips. I've had other fleece jackets before but the Denali is what all others are judged by. I agree with a previous reviewer who says that the jacket is bulky. If bulk is a problem, go with the vest for the spring and fall. I have the vest as well and I wear it all the time. But for when it gets a little colder, I bring the Denali jacket out and it never disappoints. The pit zips are a nice feature as the fleece could make you really hot in some instances but they feel awkward at times. You may like them though; I'm just picky though. The jacket is expensive but it looks great and it is functional. It is water repellent but I wouldn't advise going out in a rain storm with it. If you're considering this jacket, just go ahead and buy it as you will be very happy with it and it appears that it will last a very long time.

Too pricey for too little I find it a bit odd you folks love this jacket so much and it was the same reason why I bought mine. The design is impeccable, others try to imitate but TNF is the real deal when it comes to such a solid design. The younger crowd eats this stuff up especially all the new colors it comes in. The pockets are excellent, great placement, good reinforcements for backpack straps and elbows. The bad parts outweigh this jacket as I bought more fleece jackets from different brands. Keep in mind, when I say this, I'm judging it by how much you are getting for the price paid. This jacket is terrible for windy days, it flat out makes you feel cold all over (except your chest area) unless you layer like crazy. The shoulder part is too bulky and unnecessary that it doesn't fit under shells well unless the shell is much larger as the other folks noted. It's not packable at all. There are better fleece out there without the TNF logo and design that function better and fit better. This is more for casual wear because it really isn't very "technical". I hear they made a Gore Windstopper version but it's very pricey.
