    The Denali is actually a zip-in liner for The North Face Mountain jacket and The North Face Mountain Guide jacket. The snap tabs on the cuffs snap into an elastic loop in the shell jackets sleeves. That's why these things are cut so boxy and squared. Used together (insulating liner&hard shell) as an extreme weather climbing jacket, a pretty heavy duty piece equipment even by today's standard.

    The snaps near the wrists are because its part of a 3 in 1 jacket. It can be zipped into the "1990 Mountain Jacket" to act as a liner for that shell.

    Yeah man this was a steal. Got the green 95’ retro Denali in The North Face store for just $100 USD. Original price was $200 but they had a 50% discount. It keeps you warm and is comfortable.

    You definitely need an XS sizing on this, to get around, you can wear hoodies underneath in the winter and just go out without a winter jacket. Very nice jacket. Thanks for the review!

    Hmm interesting on the sizing. Don’t like when sleeves drag like that. I’m 5’4 and if I get an extra small it looks like the sleeves are going to drag like on yours.

Deze ziet er namelijk meer jas achtig uit en die van Nederland is meer een vest. Vraag me ook af of deze warmer en dikker is. Die ik heb is namelijk net goed voor onder 10 graden weer, verder krijg ik het zonder shell snel koud. Ik zou ook one size up gaan want bij mij viel hij best klein uit.
