"To all those who find fault with the Denali regarding the following: not waterproof, not windproof - here's a suggestion, try a shell not a 300 weight fleece. Yeah, the Denali is regrettably very trendy and every college kid laps it up, but it does NOT have Windstopper and the only water resistance is DWR. Its a basic Polartec fleece, folks. Its meant for layering beneath a shell in cold, windy, or wet conditions, or can be worn alone in chilly, still ones.

Being a fleece, it does does attract fur, but that's the nature of a polyester insulator. I have a white dog and an ivory Denali - it's only common sense.

What makes the Denali especially versatile and durable are the hardshell panels that cover the shoulders and elbows. Normal fleeces pill and wear out in these areas.

All in all, if you know what it's made of and the what it's meant to do and use it as such, it is an excellent, versatile, durable classic insulating layer with a roomy, relaxed fit. If, however, you expect of it qualities that are not in keeping with its components, you will be sorely disappointed."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
