Denali Thermal Jacket at a Glance:
Temperature Rating: About 10°F
Climate Compatibility: Windproof, cold climate
Designed for: Everyday, school, work, running, layering
High-Loft Fleece This new spin of the classic Denali is equipped with recycled Polartec Thermal Pro high-loft fleece, which serves to block out wind and keep the body heat in. The fleece also contains durable water repellent (DWR) for additional resistance against light rain and snow.
Nylon Cover Just like the original Denali, the Denali Thermal also has abrasion-resistant nylon panels over the upper body for added wind and physical protection.
Other Features
With two hand pockets and a Napolean chest pocket, you can easily stow your hands and electronics out of the bitter cold. The hem cinch-cord allows you adjust the fit and keep body heat in. If it gets wet and nasty outside, or if your althetic adventures call for it, the jacket's zip-in compatibility allows you to wear the Denali with a TNF shell to keep warm and stay dry.
Temperature Range and Lifestyle
With the high-loft fleece, we expect you to stay warm down to around 10°F. But because this jacket is still a fleece, it is not suitable for heavy snow or other wet environments. Its extreme warmth and comfort makes it perfect for school, home, and office uses.
Summary on Women's Denali Thermal Jacket
The Denali Thermal is basically a more complete version of the original Denali Jacket. It integrates comfort, style, and warmth with great success. However, the jacket is a bit expensive for a fleece. If fleece jackets are what you primarily wear in the winter, the Denali Thermal is a good choice. But if you expect to encounter snow and rain on a regular basis, you might be better off with a thermal softshell.
