The North Face Genesis Fleece


The North Face Genesis Fleece is a lightweight and warm fleece jacket. Made from Polartec 200 Thermal Pro fleece, it's 100% polyester, making it light, easy to care for and above all, warm!

Ideal for use on its own or under a waterproof jacket, the Genesis is a good all-round jacket. While it's not wind proof, it will keep out a moderate breeze, which means it's good for cold or mild weather. For really cold weather, I'd pick a heavier fleece like the Berghaus Polarplus fleece - it's much thicker.

The North Face Genesis also has a Durable Water Repellent finish. This doesn't make the jacket waterproof, but it will resist a light rain for quite a while and a heavy rain for 15 or so minutes. It's also zip-in compatible, so it will zip into the top-end North Face jackets such as the Mountain Parka or the Insulated Varius Guide.
