In 1966, two hiking enthusiasts founded a small mountaineering retail storein the heart of San Francisco's North Beach. The Company soon became known as The North Face, a retailer of high-performance climbing and backpacking equipment. (The name was selected because in the Northern Hemisphere, the north face of a mountain is generally the coldest, iciest and most formidable to climb.) In 1968, The North Face began designing and manufacturing its own brand of high-performance mountaineering apparel and equipment, and in the early 1980s, extreme skiwear was added to the product offering. By the end of the decade, The North Face became the only supplier in the United States to offer a comprehensive collection of high-performance outerwear, skiwear, sleeping bags, packs and tents.
In Spring 1996, The North Face made its debut in the sportswear marketwith the launch of Tekware® , a collection of high-performance sportswear made from advanced materials using innovative construction. The Tekware® collection was designed to provide rock climbers, backpackers, hikers, trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts with the ultimate in fit and function. Later that year, the Company acquired A-5 Adventures, Inc., adding portaledges and other big wall gear to its collection of outdoor equipment. The North Face launched its own line of trekking and trail running shoes in Spring 1999.
Now,42 years after its start in the outdoor industry,The North Face provides an extensive line of performance apparel, equipment and footwear. Offering the most technically advanced products on the market, The North Face is the choice of the world's most accomplished climbers, mountaineers, extreme skiers, snowboarders and explorers. The North Face is committed to pushing the limits of design, so that you can push your limits outdoors --never stop exploring.

| I can't even describe how much I love this jacket! I am now on my third North Face jacket from Zappos.com. I am in love. I had one last year that I had to buy in the men's section at a department store because I was very overweight. (P.S. Plus size girls- this jacket is not for you! I was a size 18 last winter and could not have come close to zipping up the XL.) This winter though, I am down to a size 12 and can fit very comfortably in the women's XL. I can wear it comfortably with a sweatshirt or sweater on underneath. I have the black, the pink, and the blue. I probably have so many because I am so excited to be able to wear them this year! They are my favorite. I went for a walk in the dark with my mom last night with only this jacket and a t-shirt and was plenty warm- it was about 30 degrees out. I highly recommend it! | |

Super Duper Jacket!! | |
| Rating: | |
| Bought this jacket for my daughter who is 15 for Christmas. That day went to visit family across town. My daughter was holding a macaroni & cheese dish on her lap and it spilled all over her new jacket. She was devastated since it was just a few hours new. We tried to blot as much of it up as possible, as it was all over the front and on her one sleeve. When we arrived at our destination an hour later, alot of the spillage had dried. I took the jacket and ran the affected area under water in the sink. Under my amazement I saw the stains wash right off with not much effort. I didn't use any soap or cleansers, just water and the light scrubbing of my fingernails and then blotted dry. We hung the jacket up and by the time we left, the jacket looked and felt brand new again. I love this jacket. I am seriously contemplating on buying one for me!!! | |

Advice for tall girls and those skeptical of the Denali's price | |
| Rating: | |
I'm not in the habit of spending more than 50 bucks on anything besides outerwear and boots, but I'm glad that I broke my rule for the Denali. It's a great insulating layer, and while it isn't made of duck feathers, it wicks away a light drizzle (or a beverage spill) quite well.Since I'm almost six feet tall, I ordered a Men's Small and a Women's Large to see what would fit me best. The sleeves on the Men's jacket were a slight improvement on the women's, but I ultimately chose the women's Denali because it's less bulky. The length of the jacket itself was sufficient. Nonetheless, I'll issue the following warning: tall girls, you may want to try on a Men's Denali before ordering.Pit zips would be nice, but since I got this fleece on sale and I'm wearing it 4-5 times a week, you'll hear no complaints from me. | |

Very warm | |
| Rating: |  |
I bought this jacket in a medium on sale. They do run big. Probably should have gotten a large but they didn't have one in a color I would want. I'm 5"2" and 150 and usually have to buy a large or xlarge. I've always wanted a denali jacket but could never get past the price. It's great if you get cold easily although I wouldn't want to layer underneath a shell because it is kind of bulky. It's also quite short in the waist so tall girls may want to try one on before they order. I like the nylon around the shoulders. I haven't experienced any wear issues on the jacket from using a backpack in the winter while snowshoeing. You can heat up fast in it. I find myself stripping out of it on cold sunny days but if it's windy you'll probably keep it on. | |

The Northface Denali | |
| Rating: | |
I have purchased several of these jackets for my granddaughters and they have loved them. They certainly are tough. They have survived washing after washing and still look great. This year I decided to treat myself to one. I love it. Just as they said, it is the warmest jacket that I have ever worn. We have just had a very cold day for Alabama, 25 degrees with a windchill factor of 15, so I donned my jacket to go out and fill up my birdfeeders. I was warm in spite of the brisk wind. This really surprised me because I have had several fleece pieces before that served me well on fairly cold days but were useless on windy days without an overjacket. I'm looking forward to some hiking and I know that I have a nice jacket to keep me warm. | |

Best Deal In Town | |
| Rating: | |
I ordered my first Denali Jacket in one of the discontinued colors (Alba Green) because it was on sale for $60. Based on other reviews of this color I was a little skeptical but figured I could always return it if I didn't like it. I LOVE IT. It is a beautiful soft shade of green that looks great with jeans, beige pants and dark colored sweats. I ordered the medium (I'm 5'4" and weigh 135 lbs) and can fit a sweater under it (I live in New England). I can't say enough about backcountry.com. It is hands-down the best website around for getting great deals on TNF products. This is the fourth North Face jacket I've ordered for myself and my two college age daughters from backcountry.com. All were unbeatable prices with free shipping. Thank you from a loyal customer. | |

I have wanted a black one of these jackets for about 3 years and when I found Back Country I saved a lot. Shipping was quick and I was very pleased with my purchase. Many have different opinions on North Faces but I guess it all depends on the climate where you live. My old North Face had zippers under the armpits (Im not sure why) and my new one doesnt so Its very warm! Also, very stylish and cute. The only thing thats bad about them is that they attract hair like crazy but that doesnt really bother me. If you have light color pets I suggest not getting a dark color. My hair is the only hair on my jacket so its not a big deal to me. Definitely order your North Face from Back Country.Wonderful service! | |

Perfect All Weather Jacket | |
| Rating: | |
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. | |

North Face Denali Works Well in NY Winter | |
| Rating: | |
I already own the North Face Pumori which is a midweight liner that is made with Polartec 200 fleece. It zips into my North Face Mountain Light Parka. I needed something heavier for those really cold, windy days in New York. The Denali has Polartec 300 weight fleece, which is fairly warm. I bought both the fleece jackets in a size small. I was somewhat disappointed to discover that the Denali is cut shorter in both the body and the sleeves. The Pumori fits me better because of the length. However, I kept the Denali in size small because it fit me other than the length being too short. I think going a size up would add too much bulk and little length. So far, the Denali has kept me toasty during the winter in New York. | |

For Posers... | |
| Rating: |  |
I work at an outdoor shop in a college town, and guess what our best seller is? THE DENALI. Literally, every fall, campus is a sea of black jackets. You know why? Because sororities and fraternaties have a cult facination with looking the same. they want to look 'cool' and 'casual' so they buy it for the big THE NORTH FACE logo on it. It's not practical, its not windproof or waterproof, its a stupid jacket for posers. if you're considering buying this for your daughter, maybe you should have a talk with her, and ask yourself a few question. Is she buying it because she wants a nice jacket, or is she buying it to fit in? Is she a middle schooler? Does she own a Roo? (for the love of God, do NOT buy her a Roo. The Denali/Roo combo is the ULTIMATE sorority chic combo for airheads from middle school all the way up to college.) PLEASE invest insomething practical, like a Mountain Hardwear or a Patagonia. Actually, don't. I REALLY don't want these companies turning into the new TNF. | |

Not even close to worth the money | |
| Rating: |  |
I purchased my first Denali about 2 years ago when I was in need of a warmer heavier weight fleece but have been sadly disappointed in the Denali. Now after what i'd consider an average number of washings and use it has worn out considerably and looks worse than some other fleeces twice it's age. I've found that TNF products have declined in quality in recent years as they have become more trendy and are no longer a top tier outdoor gear line in my opinion. I say this in part because right after I purchased my first Denali I bought a much older one at a garage sale and the older one is much better constructed and has held up a lot better than the newer one. If you are looking for a warm fuzzy fleece I'd definitely go with the Mountain Hardware Monkey fleece, if you're looking for something a little more hardcore I'd recommend the Mountain Hardware Men's Windstopper Tech Jacket. | |

Not happy with this jacket | |
| Rating: | |
Everyone in our family owns one of these jackets (3 men and 2 women) accept for me, so I decided to order a jacket for myself based on the women's sizes we already own....small and medium. Well, the jacket I received in the mail is completely different from the women's jackets we have at home. The have changed the styling, the fit and, in my opinion, the quality. They have eliminated the underarm vent zippers, which I was very disappointed about. They have also narrowed the fit, so that the new small fit is nothing like the old small fit. I am disappointed in this company. They are popular, and I used to think for a good reason, but now I am not so sure. They are now giving less of a jacket for the same outrageous price! | |

Weird fit, not windproof | |
| Rating: | |
| I was so excited when I got this jacket as a gift, but disappointed to find out that this jacket fits very awkwardly. I'm a size 2/4 and I'm about 5'3, athletic body. I thought a small would be perfect- as it usually is. Well, this jacket is VERY big in the waist, too big in the chest, and a tiny bit too small in the arms :/ This jacket is comfortable, but not in the cold. I come from Cleveland OH, and it gets pretty cold here. Even when it's in the 50s and 60s, I can feel the wind blowing right through the jacket. Overall, while I like the fabric and the comfort, I don't wear this jacket often because of the weird way it fits and its lack of warmth. | |

Not Happy | |
| Rating: | |
I finally broke down and purchased the North Face Denali thinking it was going to be the best jacket ever. Not so. I ordered a size small, I am 5' 6" and 125lbs and I usually wear a size xs to s. This jacket felt very constricting to me, not long enough and the sleeves felt too short. I was actually very uncomfortable wearing this. Returned it for the North Face Khumbu in a size small and I love it. Sleeves felt long enough, and overall jacket fit better. It says it is not as warm as the North Face Denali, but it feels pretty darn warm to me. If not, just throw a hoodie on underneath. I recommend the North Face Khumbu over the Denali for style, fit and price - always helps. | |

what is wrong with me buying a pink jacket? | |
| Rating: | |
I wore this on campus at KU and it did nothing to stop the wind. too bulky to wear with a shell. Do not buy this if you want to stay warm outside. It's good maybe 2 days a year - Kansas is windy. I was happier with a columbia titanium jacket that completely blocks wind. Maybe I'm not understanding how to use this jacket. I guess it would be good for sitting in an air conditioned room. also the pink is pepto pink... if you think you will like this jacket 4 years after you buy it, trust me you won't. i don't even know where the damn thing is and i assure you i'm not looking too hard. | |

Disappointment | |
| Rating: | |
My daughter normally wears a large in teenware and a medium in women's apparel. I wasn't too sure which size to order for her so I ordered both sizes so that she had a gift that fits her on Christmas day. Unfortunately neither size fitted properly!! I had to order an XL for her from another vendor because you did not have the inventory. I am very disappointed with the sizing of this products. I know a girl who is bigger than my daughter and she will probably have to order a men's size, which is not made for the shape of a woman!! | |

Very Disappointed With The Denali | |
| Rating: | |
I Was Very Dissatisfied With The Denali I Ordered. I Felt As If My Measurements Fell In Between The 2-4 Size Range, Therefore, I Ordered A Small. It Was TOO Small And Definitely Way Too Short. I Sent The Denali Back And Ordered The Windall, Which I Thought Was A More Classic Looking Jacket. If You Plan On Ordering The Denali And Are Small But Have A Slightly Longer Torso And Arms Then I Would Suggest Ordering A Size Up. | |

Pit Zips? | |

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. | |

I think everyone just likes this jacket for it's trendy factor. It's not the least bit warm and the fit is nothing noteworthy. If you're looking for a good fleece for your $$, check out Patagonia! The R4 is the new Denali! I sold my Denali on ebay and replaced it with an additional R4. | |

North Face Denali Jacket | |
| Rating: |  |
First off, I do like the look of this jacket. It not fitted and has a poofy look to it. The pockets are just right and I like having the cinch cord at the bottom. The fit isn't extremely flattering, being a little bulky like others have mentioned. However, this is helpful when it comes to layering because I didn't find it to be particularly warm (I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I do get cold easily). I can wear a hoodie and a sweater if I wanted to and still have room to spare. Sizing-wise, I went with the Small, which is a perfect length for my arms. It hits me a few inches below the hips (I'm about 5'4" and 120). X-Small would have fit as well, but probably would not have fit my arms as well. I like to be able to bend my arms and not have the sleeves inch up. It is very light, but it's not very compact. Also it is like a magnet for pet hair so if you have pets, have a lint roller handy. It's not as windproof as I like, having to wear a layer to keep the chill out, but once you get warm you stay warm. As for being waterproof, that it isn't. It will get wet. It might be able to withstand a light shower or misting, but don't expect to come out dry in a downpour. Overall the jacket is little more than mediocre in it's functionality. I guess The North Face just isn't what it used to be. Other brands that I'd look into are Patagonia or Mountain Hardware. | |

Good, not great. | |

Ok, so I was really excited about this jacket, based on all the wonderful reviews and the fact that people said it was tighter than it used to be. That and I chose the foam green color which looks great online. The jacket, which is more of a tinted white came to me and seemed rather loose. The sleeves were pretty baggy and I felt as though there was a lot more room in it than I would need even if layering. (I'm 5'2", 100lbs and ordered an XS). The material seems great and it does feel cozy so now I am debating keeping it since I got such a great deal from Backcountry.com and using it as a spare, or returning it and getting a children's size in one of the darker greens.... I will have to try it with some layers underneath. Even if it is loose and there's wind I can cinch the waist with the drawstring. I'm beginning to lose faith in TNF products however, and am starting to gear towards Mountain Hardwear since their products seem to fit small frames much better. Perhaps I'm just too small to enjoy TNF which is kind of a bummer. | |

Warm - but not for wind! | |

To repeat what has been said 100 times: it's boxy. I am 5'7" and 125 lbs, and a S fits well in every way except that the sleeves are a bit short. Not good while bike-riding (sleeve ride-up). It's definitely not cut for slim figures -- to get it to fit my torso I have to deal with short sleeves. Also, I don't know why it's called wind-resistant -- not at ALL! I am tempted to return it and get a WindWall or something by Patagonia or Marmot (better fits) because, literally, the wind goes right through my Denali while biking or being in the wind. I wonder if it's the recycled fleece? I hope not. So, the Denali is certainly cute and warm but not suitable for wind or those with slim/narrow figures or long arms. | |

Eh. Trendy I guess, but not a great piece of gear. | |

I'm fully acknowledging that this is a trendy jacket... it's cute, it's popular, everyone's daughter wants one. Okay, that being said, I was actually looking for a layering fleece for fall/winter hiking and climbing, and I have to say the Denali is pretty much just eh. I could see wearing this jacket to school or running errands, but for actual outdoor sports, it seems like the North Face has put more emphasis on fashion than on function. It's absolutely not windproof, not that warm and pretty bulky at that. I'm sticking with my Mountain Hardwear windstopper lightweight fleece and windstopper soft shell. Both together feel less bulky than the Denali. The North Face is also charging quite a bit for what is basically a fashion piece! | |

Too much hype | |
| Rating: | |
I feel like this jacket gets more hype than it deserves.. TNF definitely makes quality products and this one is no exception, however, the fit of this jacket is made for women with shorter torsos. I have a TNF Furallure jacket that is cropped and I love it, but I wanted this fleece to hit low hip so that I didn't get any drafts with my low rise jeans when I sit down. This version of the Denali is just too short for my liking.. I even tried going up a size to see if that would help, but it's still too short. Bummer! I will be purchasing the Khumbu fleece instead even though it's not Polartec due to this issue. | |

comfortable | |

| I like this north face fleece. It is comfortable and I love the blue color. However, I was disappointed on the fit of the coat. I bought a size woman's small. I wear a size 6 and small and medium tops. So I'm average size so I don't see why it would be so big. So its not very flattering on. It looks big and bulky. Living in Chicago aka The Windy City, you want a coat to be a close fit to your body because it gets so cold here if its too big the wind just blows right through you. | |

I love the jacket in the sense that it looks really good. But, Even though it covers really well the chest area I get really cold in the arms...its like the wind gets through the material very easily. I guess if I wear it with a logn sleeves shirt it'll be alright... | |

Nice Jacket | |

| I/m 5'8 and ordered a large because I have long arms and wanted a good fit. This jacket is a little big in the chest and arms. So I will wear layers underneath for a better fit. I ordered the brownie. [...] | |

One size smaller | |

This Denali Jacket for women is one size too small. Ordered a Small for my daughter which will usually be almost too big. It wouldn't fit her at all. Replaced it with a medium and is still barely fit. So beware. | |

Comfy jacket, but feel fat! | |

Jacket in White is boxy. Thought it would look good with nursing scrubs. Might not have purchased it if I would have tried it on first. Some Denali jackets are more form fitting. How can one tell by a photo? | |
