"SOFT, COMFORTABLE, WARM, WELL FITTED, and STYLISH = THE BEST JACKET FOR YOUR BUCK" | |
| Rating: |  |
| This jacket is one of the most comfortable jackets i have ever had, it fits very well and the material it is made out of is extremely soft and comforting on those cold lonely days. Other then just being extremely soft, it also kept me very warm is pretty cold weather. I wore it on a dark, windy day, the temp outside was about 28 and this jacket kept me comfortable and content while i was outside for about two hours doing house work. The bottom line is if you want a jacket that is very comfortable, soft, warm, looks good and makes you look stylin', this is the jacket for you, and for the price of only $150, its a pretty good deal for what you're getting out of the jacket. | |

This jacket is awesome IF used under a shell (or something windproof). I took it out during a snow storm with a shell in 10 degrees and walked to a store about a half mile away and was kept very warm. I actually had to unzip the shell some because I got too warm! I still can't see this jacket being very functional during winter without some kind of windproof shell/jacket coupled with it as it lets even small breezes through. There are other options if you want a high warmth to weight ratio such as the MH Monkey Man and Arcteryx has its own version; both using the Polartec Thermal Pro material. | |

"Ridiculously Comfy" | |
| Rating: | |
| This fleece arrived the other day, and I've yet to walk out the front door without it. In the Pacific Northwest, you need a layer to keep you warm and this jacket is the shizz. Comfort level is incredible, soft as cashmere at less than half the cost. As a fairly slim bodied individual, this fits really well. So if you're like most thin people, and are afraid this thing will hang off you like a monkey from a tree, forget about it. I'd recommend this jacket to anyone who has comfort and quality high on their list of priorities. | |

Great looking, great fitting fleece for Insulation/layering purposes | |
| Rating: | |
It looks really good in person, with a good athletic fit. Not designed to be worn without a shell of some wind blocking ability in my opinion, but neither is the Denali which everyone wears anyway. This provides excellent warmth indoors, and it provides the best insulation you could ask for when paired with a shell (heaviest weight grade Polartec Thermal Pro). I purchased this jacket to layer with one of TNF flight series shells for the fall, and the Sentinel Windstopper for insulation during cold rainy days. | |

"This fleece is da bomb!!!" | |
| Rating: | |
| I ordered the Fall 2009 jacket and it is EXACTLY what I am looking for in a fleece jacket. The subtle changes to the new Fall 2009 model (grey/silverish logo stitching instead of white and softer and not as shiney fleece material) make a huge difference to me. It's one of the most comfortable fleeces that I ever owned...super soft, light weight and looks great. It fits well on a slim bodied chap like myself. | |

Cozy Sweater. | |
| Rating: | |
I ordered a large and it fits perfectly. There are stripes inside the arms that I didn't notice from the photos. Super soft outer and very soft inner. Definitly lighter than the fleece weight suggests, but it will be a nice warm layer under my ski jacket. | |

"A great fitting fleece" | |
| Rating: | |
| I am 6"1' and skinny, so I normally wear a size medium in everything. This scythe fleece runs skinny, so the large fits me perfectly. The subtle differences from the standard North Face fleece makes this one worth it! | |

Great insulation | |
| Rating: | |
| Good for using as a midlayer in winter conditions. It performs best with an outer layer shell. Lightweight and breathable. Sizing is not fit like other summit series products. Stretch side panels gives free mobility. | |

Not So Good | |

This jacket looks very cool and that is about it. The wind goes right through this thing. It might be ok to layer, but really the wind goes right through it and I was very cold and disappointed. | |

I have a TNF Denali Thermal, which i LOVE, but wanted something thinner (the Denali is thick) to layer with more things, pack smaller, etc. This seemed absolutely ideal -- all the benefits of ultrawarm thermal pro fleece, yet more packable and lightweight. It's very layerable (under things), very warm -- warmer than anything its thickness, very breathable and stylish. But, as with any thermal pro jackets, it's HIGHLY porous to the wind so definitely wear a shell in such conditions. Everything seemed perfect, except for the neck. It's waaay too big. At 5'10, 205lbs, size 44 i'm a solid large to xl. I dropped down to a medium (snug fit for sure but the jacket stretches and the sleeves are long) with the hopes of getting a decent neck to keep me warmer. No dice. The Denali 300 wt. has a nice cut that seals in the warmth, keeps out the elements. This is more like a cowl that just lets cold air in, warm out, kinda defeating the purpose of the jacket. If you can get past this, it's a great jacket. Consider MW's Monkey Man Jack for a possibly better fit. Glad i got my Denali Thermal before they went the way of the dodo. | |

Itssss......ok | |

I haven't had this jacket for too long, but I can say that the wind TEARS through it and its not a great by-it-self jacket if your just watching friends rock-climb in VT while its 40 degrees out. I haven't tested it out when doing active things like skiing or snowboarding or even running. It does dry pretty fast though, its true to its size, and its very packable/light. I ordered a small and I'm about 5'7", 150lbs with a 38" chest and it fits very well although it can be annoying if you add too many layers underneath as it gets tight fast. The material used is VERY soft and it is a nice looking jacket. | |

Good looking, but kind of off piece of gear | |
| Rating: | |
it looks great, nice colour and fit cut, now ... its a bit too warm for a semi cool day, but on a cool day the wind blows thru it, so it doesnt really serve another purpose but to be used as a layering piece, its not really packable as it takes about the same space as a Millet belay jacket. | |

Decent Jacket | |
| Rating: | |
This is a decent jacket, but not exactly technical. Very stylish, fits great and looks good too. Works well to keep you warm if you wear it under a waterproof/windproof shell. Will not keep you warm without a shell as the wind blows right through it. Best use for fall hikes in comfortable temps with no wind. | |
