Our take on the The North Face Men's Tek Approach Jacket

The Tek Approach is a men's lightweight fleece jacket with a wind-resistant WINDWALL shell and a water-repellent finish. It has a grid-patterned fleece body, a scuba hood, and secure-zip hand pockets, so it works as a warm midlayer or a standalone piece on gusty days. It suits hikers and everyday wearers who want wind protection without bulk. Against heavier fleeces it trades warmth for packability and breathability, and against plain grid fleeces it adds the hood and windproofing. Owners rate it highly, though some find the fit roomy and the warmth limited on cold days.

Questions and answers

Is the Tek Approach Jacket warm enough on its own?
It is a lightweight fleece, so it suits cool, windy days rather than cold ones. Most owners wear it as a midlayer under a shell in winter.
Does it keep out rain?
It has a water-repellent finish that sheds light rain and snow. It is not waterproof, so heavy rain will soak through.
How does it fit?
It has a regular fit with room for a base layer underneath. Some wearers find it roomy, so try your usual size first.
Does the hood fit over a helmet?
No. The scuba hood is close-fitting and meant to be worn over a hat or bare head, not over a climbing or bike helmet.
How does it compare with a standard fleece jacket?
It adds wind resistance and a hood that most plain grid fleeces lack. In return it is lighter and less warm than a thick pile fleece.
What activities is it made for?
It is designed for hiking and other outdoor activity on gusty days. It also works for everyday wear in cool, breezy weather.
