Retro Denali Jacket revives a ‘90s icon with classic warmth and everyday versatility

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


“The Retro Denali is pure nostalgia—it’s got that vintage TNF look with modern touches like weather-resistant panels and zip-in compatibility. I wear it constantly in shoulder seasons, and it’s tough enough to handle daily use for years.”


The North Face Retro Denali Jacket takes us straight back to the golden age of fleece style while delivering modern performance that keeps up with today’s adventures. Originally released in 1995, this legendary piece returns with its relaxed fit, color-blocked design, and durable DWR-coated nylon reinforcements that shed light moisture and wind.


Warm fleece insulation provides that signature soft feel and reliable comfort for chilly days, while zippered pockets secure everything from phones to trail snacks. The drawcord hem locks in heat, and zip-in compatibility makes it an ideal midlayer for pairing with TNF shells. From mountain towns to city streets, the Retro Denali proves that timeless style and lasting functionality never go out of fashion.

Perfect liner for my North Face GORETEX

Full transparency: I’m not the biggest fan of the Denali look on its own. Super functional; not particularly stylish. So why did I buy it at such a steep price? To line my GORETEX shell jacket! And as far as that goes, it works flawlessly. The shell on its own is a just a fancy glorified windbreaker. The puffer option that zips in is simply too bulky—warmth and functionality aside. The Denali fleece is the perfect middle ground; it provides a soft, insulated inner shell without looking or feeling too bulky, and keeps me warm. All the while, the GORETEX shell offers weatherproofing and, in all serious, pure swagger. They’re a match made in heaven, if you will. And I must admire Backcountry for not only offering a wide variety of colors and sizes, but also the most generous welcome discount by far! Beat the price of every competitor I researched—North Face Official included. Very satisfied, and the comfort alone is worth the recommendation even if you don't need it for a shell.

I love this jacket!

I have both the all black, and the summit gold/black. The summit gold at first sheds a lot of yellow fuzzies from the material. It does get everywhere, but after a few washes and wears it's just fine! love the summit gold it's very nostalgic of the 90's.

Retro is back in style

The Retro Denali Jacket looks sharp, provides warmth during cooler weather, and has pit vents to keep the heat from building up. The jacket has a really nice feel to it. I've had some very positive comments on the jacket from coworkers and had to buy my wife one so mine didn't disappear. Don't buy one, buy two!

Perfect fit worth every penny!!!!!

I bought this North Face jacket for my boyfriend, and he absolutely loves it. The fit is spot-on - it's comfortable but still looks sharp, not bulky like some winter jackets. The material feels premium and durable, and it's held up perfectly against wind, rain, and even a bit of snow. He wears it everywhere - to work, hiking, and casual nights out - and it still looks brand new. The inner lining keeps him warm without overheating, and the pockets are super practical. I also love how easy it is to clean; a quick wipe or wash and it's fresh again. If you're thinking about getting this for someone special it's totally worth it. North Face never disappoints, and this jacket really delivers on both style and performance.

I will buy again. Although, it's Made to last.

This jacket is just as cool as it was when I wore it in the 90's. Mid weight and sturdy for stylish urban adventure or rugged moutain escape. I would not change a thing about it. The structural integrity, comfort and sporty look have held up through the decades.

Best jacket I've ever owned

This is a jacket for the ages: confy, warm, stylish. I haven't tried it in the mountains yet but it does have features that makes it pair with outer shells, so it must be good out there too

I would recommend!

My husband loves his jacket, very warm. Sleeves are long enough for him who is 6'3.
