For the last 8-10 years I have had a 200 weight fleece jacket with vertical side (handwarmer) pockets and a single breast zip pocket (crucial for eyewear). Forest Green color. Recently the hems and main zipper started to go, and I started shopping at REI and Great Outdoor (No EMS in NC, but I checked online there as well).
I was looking for 200-300 fleece, similar description to what I have, but maybe a little more wind-resistant (tho I use my Precip as a shell, and have been happy with that). But I was surprised by the limited fleece design offerings - not to mention (as with backpacks) the dull "not-quite-colors" that are currently in "style".
Looked at TNF Denali, but have read reviews panning it as more fashion statement than real inclement/wilderness jacket. TNF seems to have gobbled a lot of the market, without really doing much with it.
Recommendations ? (less than ~ $200, on down)
Thanks,
MR
