The North Face Denali Jacket - Men's
Dotting expedition base camps and college campuses worldwide, The North Face Denali Jacket has become the fleece jacket to have. If you own just one, the Denali should be it. Whether using it as an insulating mid-layer on a ski trip to Stowe or strolling through the city in fall, you'll appreciate the lightweight warmth and softness of the Denali's Polartec 300 heavyweight fleece. Abrasion-resistant supplex nylon at the elbows and on the upper body blocks wind and increases water resistance. The durable and toasty Denali will be your go-to jacket for many falls and springs to come. Please consult the sizing chart to determine your proper TNF size.

Just Ok
The Denali jacket is extremely warm as an insulating layer, has a nice assortment of pockets and the pit zips are a convenient feature. However, it is very poor at blocking wind and is rather heavy and bulky. I have other jackets from The North Face and Arc'teryx, and I would definitely suggest going with a lighter jacket (Arcteryx Sigma LT) composed of the Windstopper fabric. It will keep you just as warm without the bulkiness and weight of this jacket. Besides, everyone already owns this jacket, and people who buy it are purchasing it for fashion and not for its quality. There are much better jackets out there for this price!
love the fleece
This purchase was perfect-quick ship WONDERFUL COMPANY in general backcountrystore gets a A+++ in my book, the jacket was everything I wanted and then some, plus the price was great overall this was one of the very best purchases I made online high fives all around to backcountrystore!
Pleased with Denali jacket
I purchased the jacket for my boyfriend for Christmas and he could not be happier. Since he works outside most of the day, the jacket keeps him very warm and protected from the (now) cold Nebraska winter. He also receives many compliments about its fit, color and overall appearance. I will definitely purchase more jackets like this in the future.
Nice jacket - but way over-rated
This is a well made, nice looking, great fitting jacket. But I believe it is one of the most over-rated products on the market, at least for my use. The 300 weight fleece seems too bulky when layering under a shell, bunches up more than I like. Then, when you remove the shell, a cold wind will cut right through it. In the end, I think you're better off going with a lighter jacket that has better wind-proofing capabilities. (I switched to a Marmot Sharp Point jacket).
An Excellent All-Purpose Fleece Jacket
I have just purchased my second Denali, I purchased my first one 10 years ago and still use it, although it is finally starting to show it's age. (I work outdoors and have subjected it to a great deal of abuse over the last 10 years) I use the Denali both on it's own and as a zip in liner for my Mountain Jacket, I would highly recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a high quality multi purpose fleece jacket as it is really warm, it repels water pretty well and it has roomy pockets.

Training Tips
Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.
Be serious about getting and staying in shape. Create a written plan that outlines the steps you are taking and the expected result by a certain date. Review your plan frequently and adjust as necessary. Do what it takes to get what you want.
