Great Jacket: A+ | |
| Rating: |  |
| Great Jacket. Bought one last year, and so far it's lived up to my expectations and more regarding warmth to weight ratio. The Medium fits me very well (I am 5'11, 137 pound) with a bit extra in the sleeve, a nice length just past my belt and the chest is comfy - not too tight, but then again, not too loose. I wouldn't layer much underneath as the sleeve tend to be a bit tight in the bicep/upper arm area with too much underneath. Very soft and extremely breathable, so it doesn't work well by itself in windy conditions (I've found it is actually rather prone to letting wind through as compared to most other fleece) but then again, I'm sure the high pile fleece wasn't designed to keep the wind out. Once isolated underneath a wind blocking layer (I use a Marmot Oracle Jacket or my Mountain Hardwear Windstopper Tech Jacket most of the time) it is absolutely the warmest midlayer I have ever owned and have felt comfortable in temperatures down to single digits with wind chill of -30. From time to time I also layer under my Mountain Hardwear Windstopper Tech Vest and that also works surprisingly well. If I wear the Monkey Man Jacket indoors by itself, I often find myself overheating within a few minutes and must unzip or plain take it off - The High Pile fleece is that effective. Overall, great coat with great versatility in many different situations and a great piece to own whether using to walk from place to place casually or in the outdoors hiking/backpacking as a technical piece. | |

Absolutely love it! | |

| So I'm not a big technical guy, but this jacket rocks. First day I got it, I actually fell asleep on the jacket, using it as a pillow b/c it was so soft. It looks great too, and definitely stands out against the crowd. Doesn't block the wind entirely (like my MH Windstopper Tech), but it does a decent job. Also, its really warm b/c the arms are somewhat tight fitting. Only complaint is the lack of pit zips/vents; if they came out w/ a Monkey Man with vents, I'd be all over it. Sizing: Great fit on me. I bought a Medium and it was the exactly right fit for me. If anything, I'd say the sleeves are a 1/4" too short on me (I'm a 34/35 sleeve length is dress shirts). For other jacket reference, I wear a medium in MH Windstopper Tech and a medium in The North Face Venture. In just about every brand actually, medium for me. | |

I can't believe the Monkey Man Jacket hasn't been reviewed and praised by thousands of other people! It is an excellent all purpose fleece jacket with two nice big side pockets, a breast pocket, nice high collar and trim fitting cuffs. | |

Wow... Very pleased with this purchase.... Feels exactly as it looks and is light enough to the point where I almost dont even notice it on me.... As of right now it is keeping me almost perfectly warm at temps of 38-45 degrees with just a t-shirt underneath... I m 5'8 155 and I decided to go with the Large... On a scale of 1 to 10 on how it fits I would give it a 9.5 with the only flaw that it's a little lose around the waist but its perfect on the chest... | |

Warm with intelligent design | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a fantastic jacket. It is very warm. The arms (wrist) have tappered, thinner fleece which takes away the normally bulky feel of a fleece this warm. This feature is specifically welcomed when wearing under a shell or when belaying your climbing partner. The fleece gives you all the warmth you want but stays out of your way. The Nepolean pocket on the front is generous. The waste is a thinned out piece of fleece similar to the wrists. Again, this keeps the fleece from feeling bulky. This is not an around the town fleece, it is too furry looking. However, I will take this with me on every backcountry trip from here forth. | |

Outstanding fleece | |
| Rating: | |
| This jacket is unbeatable for warmth-to-weight. It is extremely comfortable and feels amazing against the skin. Although it isn't windproof, it keeps you so warm on windy days, it tends not to matter. The only problems I have with the jacket is that the cuffs lose their elasticity relatively quickly, but this certainly doesn't detract enough from the value of the jacket not to buy it. It also makes for a great layering piece. The only other jacket I would consider to come close to the Monkey Man is Patagonia 's R2. I'm 6' 2" and about 175-180 pounds with really long arms and it fits me just fine. | |

Soft as silk!!! | |
| Rating: | |
| This product is amazing. It is lightweight and comfortable at the same time. The phur is on the outside and inside of the jacket making for an extremely comfortable feeling. It is a full zip jacket and has plenty of storage pockets. This jacket is great for a night out or simply wearing around the house. I would recommend this stylish jacket to people of all ages. You will not be disappointed when you purchase the Monkey Man Jacket by Mountain Hardwear for your self. I have the Grill color and it goes great with everything. | |

Great Jacket - as long as you like the different look - | |
| Rating: |  |
| This jacket is really nice if you like the "furry" look. It is a really nice fleece though and is made with the top quality Mountain Hardwear is known for. I will say this, the jacket runs a tad on the small side. I am 6'1 190-195 lbs and the XL fit me perfect (maybe a tad on the snug side). I got it in the Carbon color, which I think is the best color in this particular jacket. It is like a dark moss green in person (very nice looking) | |

Best Fleece I Ever Owned... | |
| Rating: | |
| Great fleece. Was a little skeptical of the price but glad I made the purchase. Got it about a year ago and have worn it every cold day since. Great for those late fall camps and hikes and a great lightweight layer the worst WNY winters have to throw at you. Wore just the Monkey Man on an ascent of Mt. Marcy last winter and was comfortable all the way up. Super light weight makes it great for packing with you anytime. | |

Not so durable | |
| Rating: |  |
| Not very durable. The fleece is really warm and light but it does not resist pilling in areas where it is under pressure, ie. the shoulder where your seat belt goes over it. I have tried all the remedies that people list online and the fleece still pills and gets matted down. When this happens it creates a cold spot and it just doesent look as nice. Mountain hardware really needs to work at getting a more durable fleece. I am still giving it 3 stars though because it is super warm and light and looks good while it lasts. | |
