So far so good
I recently bought this for my boyfriend to wear on our golf trip. He really likes it...no complaints. He gets cold easily, so needed a jacket that was warm but flexible enough to not impede his golf swing.

Men's Windwall 2 Jacket
My son's girlfrend bought him this jacket and he wears it all the time so I got one for my husband. He loves it! It is very nice and keeps him warm and dry. It is a coat that you can move around in also. I am asking for one for myself for Christmas!

DON'T HESITATE: BUY THIS JACKET!
So I have to admit that I have more patagonia gear in my closet than anything else, but this jacket is rapidly becoming my "go to!" If I had to pick one word to describe it, it would be BALANCE: The WINDWALL 2 by the North Face is not too heavy, not too light--the fabric reminds me of English moleskin--it feels soft, yet tough/substantive (but without the weight); The WINDWALL 2 is not too big, not too small (despite my "fit" rating--it does seem to fit a little snug under the arms, otherwise it's perfect); . The build quality and attention to detail are superb: the stitching and zipper quality are robust enough that this jacket will clearly last for years and stand up to any reasonable outdoor demands you place on it. I REALLY like the elastic cuffs (a feature that patagonia rarely incorporates into their products). The high collar is also nice--and will clearly protect against the wind. This jacket is comfortably warm, but not too warm and could easily be worn to the office as well as to the campsite. As my title suggests, if you're on the fence about this jacket, don't be: it's a purchase you will NOT regret! And, BTW, don't consider buying it anywhere else--Altrec's commitment to quality and customer service/satisfaction are without compare. I would not shop anywhere else for outdoor gear--Period!

Altrec, a new good find to shop.
I just happened to come across this online store (Altrec) and am glad I did because from now on this will be where I will search for our sporting outfits. I bought this jacket for my husband and he's been wearing this everyday to work. It's sporty and yet elegantly casual enough to wear to an evening dinner out. I have a North Face windstopper jacket and love it and I wish Altrec has one too for men's.
I'll be seeing you again Altrec! Thank you.

My Son Is Thrilled!
Gave this jacket to my 16 yr. old son for his birthday. It was the best gift that he received! He put it on immediately and kept it on for the rest of the evening. The fit was perfect. I am surprised that he took it off when he went to bed!

Nice Jacket
it is a very good jacket but it does fit a little on the small side. I liked the fact that it has the pocket on the front of the chest and also two inside pockets.

windwall 2
excellent jacket. i bought this as a follow up to the windawall 1. great winter coat for at least the mid-altantic states winters. if you are undecided on size order up...highly recommend, very comfortable to wear...
April 11, 2011
Great Jacket
I have a Windwall 1 which has given me great service but needed something a little more presentable due to excessive wear. I purchased the Windwall II thinking it would provide a little more protection than the Windwall 1 from cold winds. I love it! It's a tad bit warmer and constructed with slightly heavier material. You might want to go with the Windwall 1 if you are prong to being on the warm side, but if you are slight of build like me the Windwall II provides the extra protection that I like. Don't intend to use it in extreme conditions but for high sierra nights it will be ideal!

north face
love the jacket, had to go up one size like a roomy feel,does run a little small.really comfortable to wear and drive in. altrec.com had good service in delivery and great pricing, would definitely shop here again

son loves jacket
Got this for my son. He loves the jacket but it may be a little on the small side. He likes the fact that it is not bulky, yet performs well. It keeps the wind out and the warmth in!!

northface wind
excellent product. Would reccomend. The product was described perfectly. The color is great and everyoe should own one in cold climates. My son is really enjoying this Northface
March 27, 2011
Very Satisfied
I am very satisfied with this jacket. I purchased the large, which fits very well. I first wore it when it was in the upper 20's with a cold breeze and felt very comfortable and warm as it offered some protection from the wind. Looking forward to using it for casual use and for backpacking
March 14, 2011
I've tried a few fleece jackets but none of them worked well in windy conditions like this one (and still breathable). Usually N.F. fits small but this item fit regularly.
March 10, 2011
Wind Wall
This is great jacket, it can protect you from wind, and rain doesn't pass through it so easily. If the jacket gets dirty you can easily clean it with a towel and a little bit of water.

Odd Cut
Purchased this jacket in closeout intending to use for winter/Fall hiking. I kept it but only after a couple of days debating return due to the tight fit in upper arm and under arm which I find somewhat uncomfortable. I fits as expected elsewhere, arm length, overall lenght etc, but close under arm. It fits something like a sports motorcycle jacket might only there is no pleat to allow for arm extention. I ordered the medium which usually is the recommended choice at my height of 5'9" and 150 lbs. Further to that the taper is not extended to the waist so there is an odd cinched look to the chest area. If there is a saving grace to that it is the jacket's stretchability. That aside I do find it to be functional as descibed, and has a soft suede-like feel. It is wind resistant compared to a standard fleece and warm enough that a single long sleeve T worn under was sufficient at 30 degrees. Also in spite of the seeming tightness I was able to get a mid-weight Hoody under it which I am sure will keep comfortably warm into the 20's.
At the much reduced price at which I bought it, about 45% off the full price, I think it was a good purchase that I'll make use of, but at full price....eh, I don't think so. the close fitted chest and arms I would have to consider a major flaw, though otherwise a nice jacket. I'd give it a 3.5 if that were an option.

best north face in a many years!!!
I weigh 170lbs and 6 feet tall. I like my jackets to fit more snug but leave enough room for layers underneath if need be. I have had denalis, monkey furs, many other mountain hardwear and the north face jackets. None have fit me this well!!!!
I love this jacket, it is perfect as a light jacket for spring or even in the winter if you layer enough under it. It has good windproofing ( Nothing spectacular ) but what really sold me is how the sleeves and waist fit exactly how i have wished all my other jackets would. I would highly recommend this jacket in size large to any one close to my size.
March 7, 2011
Great Jacket!
This is an excellent jacket. Very similar to the Apex Bionic but warmer, I think because of the fleece. It is not as wind resistant as the Bionic but is more wind resisteant when compared to other fleeces. I have worn it in 45 to 50 degree weather, with wind blowing in Texas, with a sweater on underneath and was not cold at all. The only negative is that the collar it too long. It definitely keeps the wind out, but I personally like the Bionic's collar. This is a very minor inconvenience and is only bad if you have a short neck like I do.
Overall excellent jacket that I would recommend to anyone.
March 7, 2011
Perfect Mid-Weight Jacket
Great jacket for winter walks and bicycle rides. Windwall cuts the winds and the jacket provides incredible warmth for the weight. Best fits a trimmer figure or order a size up.
March 4, 2011
Windwall II
Very good quality..thicker than I thought it would be..definitely will keep you warm and protect from the wind in very cold, windy conditions.. The jacket fits a little snug and I would say that this jacket runs small. The zipper is a little tough to zip at the neck.
February 27, 2011
Bulletproof Fleece
Having owned several fleece tops over the years, my last was the North Face Windwall I which I still wear often. It has served me well from Alaska to Patagonia to New Zealand, but I just needed something a little warmer without going to true heavy weather gear. The Windwall II seems to be the trick. It's not as soft as the Windwall I but feels considerably more durable. I shopped for an alternative for a long time but for the money, this is a great buy. And what can be said about North Face, I'm a fan. Half of my closet is filled with their gear.
February 22, 2011
excellent purchase
I bought this jacket for my fiance for valentine's day and he doesn't take it off! It is the perfect every day jacket for the cold weather... not bulky at all but very warm. It fits very well- he is tall and lean.
February 21, 2011
Solid Performer
This jacket fit true to size and is extremely protective against the wind and cold weather in general. I've worn this jacket outside in the Poconos for 6+ hours at a time and stayed comfortably warm in January weather, and you simply do not feel the wind. The fabric is soft, flexible and deceivingly thin for the protection it provides against the elements - it's exactly what I expect from TNF and would recommend to anyone who hates the cold and windy weather.

Great Product, Sleeves a Bit Long
The Windwall 2 Jacket for Men is exceedingly warm and comfortable to wear. It is soft and feels nice against your skin.
The only reason that I did not rate this jacket "5 Stars" is that the sleeves are about 2 inches too long. I'm 5'9", 180 lbs, with a normal build and I had to order the XL size to get a proper fit across my chest. The downside to getting room in the chest is that now the sleeves are just a bit too long. If you're wearing gloves, you won't even notice it.
Overall, a great product but be careful with the sizing when ordering. If you wear layers underneath, order the next size up. If you plan on only wearing a light shirt underneath, then order true to size.
February 5, 2011
Great Value
this was a perfect purchase, from quality to customer service to fit!
Ordered size up for layering, ordered for my son who is large in the shoulders & arms. Perfect fit. He walks to classes out in the wind and cold temperatures. Keeps the wind and cold out! Had a hard time finding this in store so this website was the perfect spot.
January 23, 2011
great jacket
I purchased this jacket as a gift, and was deciding between this jacket and the Denali. This jacket is not as plush as the Denali, but I think the windstopping element makes it a much warmer jacket overall. For that I think it is also a better overall value than the Denali. The fit seemed to be a little smaller than normal, so I ordered an XL when the person normally would wear a L. Overall, very satisfied with the purchase, and it shipped super quickly. I will definitely order through Altrec.com again!

Solid Fleece Jacket
I was looking for a new fleece for a while, because I wanted something that was extremely warm, comfortable, windproof, and most importantly not a bulky mess. I found the windwall II to be exactly that, where you can feel how thick the actual fleece is, but it is compact, and fits perfectly underneath an outer jacket. I found the jacket to be comfortable as an outer layer in mid 20's, and perfect, but sometimes too warm when an outer jacket is being worn. I can wear the fleece to work with no problem, because it fits very well, (6', 220 lbs.) looking clean and professional. The jacket is very soft to the touch, and is of high quality, where you can feel that it will last.
January 13, 2011
Perfect!!!
Excellent jacket for everyday use...keeps you warm and it is not bulky it"s just right...definately a favorite...
January 8, 2011
Love The North Face
Bought this jacket for my son. We live in the Washington State where it rains and the wind blows. My son found this jacket really cool for a 15year old, and at the same time shields him from the elements. Has a tight fit and would also serve as a liner under a shell. Perfect jacket for those 40 degree cold days here in the pacific northwest.
January 5, 2011
Windwall II
This is one of the best jacket I have bought in recent years. I have had this for one week but it promises to be the best I have purchased so far. I have never used fleece jacket and was not sure but this promises to be good hopefully.
January 5, 2011
Windwall II Jacket
Warmth is comfortable to 25 degrees. Blocks all wind.
Sizing - I am a normal Large. Chest is a little snug, arms run too long for a large. One thing I don't like, the inside sleeves cling to your long sleeve shirt when putting on or taking off.
December 27, 2010
Excellent jacket, very warm and break the wind nicely. Black color is more like dark grey, but still excellent jacket.
December 17, 2010
Wonderful Gift
I bought this jacket as a gift for my boyfriend after he fell in love with it in a store. He usually wears a L/XL and the L was a perfect fit. He found the jacket very warm and he loved the fitted cut of the jacket. I would recommend this item.
November 30, 2010
nice looking
The Windwall II jacket is very nice looking; however size runs small. I think the jacket is cut to fit a slender person .
November 28, 2010
It works, but is overpriced
It works, but the exterior feels like standard cheap fleece, the inside is uncomfortable on bare skin, and the sleeves are a little shorter than the other North Face jackets I own. It is worth the $65 I paid, but not worth the $129 it is listed for.
August 19, 2010
Expensive but worth it
Very light and warm, worth the money.
April 12, 2010
Wears like a shell, protects like titanium!!
Super light weight jacket that will absolutely stop the wind from cutting you in half. I was thoroughly amazed at how effective this little number is. Initial glance and feel makes one think "fleece-like" but the wear is anything but that. The thinness of the material defies the warmth and protection it provides. Very satisfied with this purchase!
April 1, 2010
Windwall 2 jacket really does cut down the breeze!
The jacket is not totally windproof but let me tell you that it does come in handy on those dry & cold windy nights! As stated in other reviews this jacket is light & warm enough to wear on its own when the temperature is above freezing and common sense is needed to layer up when the temps dip below freezing.The chest pocket is easily accessible and the fit is true to size. The jacket can withstand a light drizzle but i recommend it for dry cold days without the bulkiness of other jackets.

Awesome green color and beautiful design jacket
I searched for a green color in town, I couldn't find one. I found it here at Altrec.com and a great discount. The free shipping was speedy. I tried it on right away (with a T-shirt) and walking around my sub in the 40 degree weather. I was comfortable in it. The Windwall 2 material is a little rough in the sleeves. I don't why TNF says it is about 1kg when my medium size is about 600g at most. No difference in weight with Windwall 1 counterpart. If I have to pick something negative to say about the jacket, I was surprised to see the collar of the jacket is black instead of gray color as in picture at this site or TNF web site. I think it is a mistake from TNF.
March 20, 2010
Excellent - Extremely satisfied customer
I bought this jacket recently to withstand the sudden cold weather that hit Houston, TX. Yes, we were actually down to teen in temperature in Houston in early 2010. I bought it to shield from the wind mostly. It worked out great. The jacket is deceptive thin when touching it but provides extremely well protection from wind. I love the technology they put into this jacket. Also, this fits very well and true to size. I'm 5'6'', 215 lbs with broad shoulder. I bought a L size and i have to say no jacket I own so far fits me this well. Over all, I'm extremely satisfied since this jacket is breathable that I can wear in 60 degree weather AND in low temperature in the low teens provided that I wear a long sleeve t-shirt as a layer.
March 8, 2010
Perfect Jacket!
This jacket is lightweight but keeps me very warm!Perfect jacket to wear by itself or under another jacket for those extreme winter days.

Hockey player says it is sweet !
My son play's hockey and loves this jacket -!
February 25, 2010
Performs as advertised
This jacket really does block the wind. Used daily since receiving. Really warm for the weight. Thinner than most.
February 18, 2010
Very nice
Not heavy and still keeps wind out. Wear it constantly.
February 12, 2010
Great Jacket!
I bought this jacket for my husband and he loves it! He wears it everywhere. He wanted something warm but not bulky and this really fits the bill. I am going to order one for myself and my daughter!
February 8, 2010
Excellent & affordable
The jacket is his year round jacket because he does not like bulk. It fits snug, and allows breathing room as well while in the car. Nice fabric and warm. Great deal.
February 4, 2010
I love this jacket
This jacket is perfect for any guy who gets too hot. it blocks the wind and rain, but isn't too hot inside. its awesome.
January 25, 2010
Great Merchandise
Very good looking jacket. It's not overly fleecy, but you can definitely tell that it's a fleece jacket. Pretty soft to the touch on the outside, although the inside is fairly rough. It's a mesh-like material on the inside, and it's kind of rough on the arms, if you're not wearing a long sleeve. But still, it's pretty comfortable. Blocks a fair amount of wind, but doesn't suffocate your body heat and make you sweat like crazy.
January 19, 2010
Good Jacket
It's cooling down here in Iraq and I needed a jacket. The Windwall 2 fits me perfect. Not too tight, yet not too loose or thick to fit under body armor.
January 16, 2010
Great jacket for all seasons
Lightweight and fits very well. Not bulky at all but surprisingly warm. Can't go wrong ...
January 12, 2010
Great buy
Awesome jacket, very warm and keeps out moisture. Highly recommended!
December 27, 2009
Really Warm.
This jacket absolutely makes a difference in warmth. The only downside if you can say its a downside, is that the jacket runs a bit big making it a little cumbersome to layer over. Other than that, the shipping was prompt. Great job Altrec!
December 23, 2009
Amazing Jacket
This jacket is perfect for the cold, snowy winters in the Midwest. It keeps you warm and comfortable in all temperatures and weather conditions. I love this jacket!
December 22, 2009
This jacket is great.
This jacket was very comfortable and warm as it matched with the price tag. In my opinion it is well worth it and it will protect you from the cold.
December 21, 2009
Jacket is fantastic
Great lightweight jacket that really does block the wind like it claims. Works great as a base layer or on its own. I've worn it in 10-20 degree weather and it still works great!
December 21, 2009
great jacket
I love this jacket! It's warm, stylish and fits great. It keeps the wind out while keeping you as warm as the Denali, which is why I bought it. It's not the jacket for temps below 35 unless you're wearing a sweater or some other long sleeve under it but overall a great pic. Another great job by the North Face!!
December 16, 2009
Awesome jacket
I've had this jacket for about a month now and could not be happier. It fits great is warm and really blocks the wind. Much warmer than other fleece jackets I've had in the past. Fit true - I'm 5'-7", 170 and the medium fits great.
December 9, 2009
I LOVE THIS JACKET
This is the best north face. I could't believe the price. It's good for 2 season. When it's freezing cold out put a cotton hoodie under it and rock on.
December 8, 2009
Good Jacket, but not heavy
Good Jacket, but not heavy I bought this jacket in Nov 2009. Its good quality but not heavy.
November 19, 2009
great jacket
this jacket is great its as warm as the denali but unlike the denali it keeps the wind out only downfall it dosent zip in otherwise another great northface
November 10, 2009
Great Jacket
I bought this jacket for my 13 year old son. He loves it. I don't think you can go wrong with any North Face products.
November 2, 2009
Great jacket for the money
This is a great fleece jacket. I was skeptical about how well this would stand up to the wind, but today I've been outside in 30 mph wind gusts and I can't feel a thing! Probably not the best thing to have if it's raining (like the description says above), but great for cool dry weather. The fit is pretty true to size and is a little on the "athletic fit" side, which I think is better when you are using in technical situations anyways. It has sturdy zippers on both pockets and two pull toggles at the bottom to really cinch it up tight. I highly recommend this jacket!!!
October 30, 2009
Amazing
This jacket is great. I walk outside when the wind is blowing and I don't feel a thing. The shipping was so fast. I cant wait to buy from them again.
October 24, 2009
Great Jacket
It is an excellent choice for cold and windy weather and it is medium weight. It is very comfortable too.
October 18, 2009
Great!
Great jacket. Highly reccomend it! The size is perfect and it is very warm.
May 17, 2009
Favorite around town and on the trail
This has become my favorite all around jacket, I wore it through the entire southern NY winter without need of a wind shell. It is perfect for hiking on winter days, or lunch at windy overlooks and summits. At 23 oz (658 g), it is a bit heavy for lightweight backpacking, and an inside pocket for hat and gloves would be nice, but I still pack it on all my day hikes.
April 19, 2009
Sensational
First purchase, excellent quality item and will go with Altrec in the future!!!
January 22, 2009
Great Jacket and Great Service
A quality TNF fleece jacket. Been looking for fleece w/wind protection and found it with the Windwall 2. I'm 5'9" 195lbs and the Lg sz fits perfect.
January 18, 2009
The best fleece I have ever owned.
This fleece fits and looks great. I especially like the zipper pocket on the sleeve, perfect for my ipod. I liked it so much that I bought a second one so I could have another color. I also gave two of them as Christmas gifts this year, (they too were impressed). This is the perfect fleece for those windy snowy days. Shipping was fast and the service from Altrec as usual is second to none.
December 26, 2008
Amazing!!!
It keeps me warm when it's windy and it really does stop the wind from coming through (vs. traditional fleece). The zipper pockets and zipper pocket on the arm are amazing - move freely without worrying about things coming out of your pockets. Great because it is a zip up and not a pullover - not a pain to remove when going from a cold to warm area or visa versa!!!
October 11, 2008
Great jacket!
Fits great, very comfortable and of course, great quality, coming from North Face.
April 4, 2008
Great Jacket
The Windwall 2 jacket so far has been a great purchase. It keeps me warm even when it's 10-15 degrees below zero. Windchill is no longer an issue when I'm outside wearing this jacket. Shipping was extremely fast so I was able to enjoy my jacket sooner.
March 10, 2008
my husband loves it
my husband loves to kayak. he needed a jacket that was thin enough to move around in but warm and keep the wind out because he kayaks early spring into late fall. he used this in december when we went to HHI SC and he thought it was a great jacket and very easy to paddle in. it didn't restrain him at all. i highly recommend it.
January 25, 2008
A good purchace
This is a very nice fleece jacket. I use it as a casual Jacket but Is nice to wear on a trip as well. The Windwall is efficient and surprising on a fleece jacket. I bought the orange one. Very satisfied with the service from altrec.
January 15, 2008
Great Buy
I found this to be a great purchase. The product is working out very well for me, very comfortable and warm, and the shipping was extremely fast. I was very happy with this purchase!
