"Being without my Monkeyman would be like meatloaf without the meat or sugar free licorice. I sport mine on most mild winter days, and when I'm boardin' or playin' out in the elements and it is cold as hell, I love it as a mid layer under my Gore shell. It makes the coldest of winter days bearable and the slow, windy rides up the lifts a joy. With my Mountain Hardwear Monkeyman, I laugh at the cold and challenge Michigan winters to keep me inside watching dvr'ed episodes of Jerseylicious or American Pickers."

Almost perfect
This fleece is light, very warm, and comfortable. I use it mostly for camping and casual wear. It would be great in the back country, but I have a synthetic hoody that offers the same level of warmth and weight and is also windproof. But that's more a matter of layering strategy, and has nothing to do with the quality of the jacket. The only thing I find slightly odd about the design is the use of the "TechnoStretch" fabric up the sleeves, on the chest pocket, and at the hem. It just doesn't make any sense to me--I'd prefer they just made the whole thing of fleece and leave out those funny inserts. One thing to note. This jacket does not have an athletic fit, so if you're wearing a harness it's likely to bunch up and get in the way. On the plus side, my wife liked it so much she wanted one for herself, and now my daughter wants one too.
My New Favorite
Okay, so I read all the great reviews on this and gave it a go. I must concur, this is the warmest fleece I have ever owned; warm the instant you put it on. This is warmer than my North Face Denali by far. I have been wearing this and a T-shirt in cold Fall weather and am comfortable. It is cut to fit snug like a layer coat should. People say they run small with long arms, but I ordered my usual Mountain Hardwear large and was fine. I am 6'0, 170lbs, and it fits perfect over just the t-shirt. It would probably be too tight over a sweatshirt, so if you want to wear casual over layers of clothing, order a size up. Hope it holds up. Would not wear in wet, windy weather, however without a shell. Overall, I love this product... warm, warm, warm.
Bought this for the length.
So I'm a chick, and I bought this even though they make a women's verions, of which I own 3. I wanted this one because I like to wear longer sweaters in the fall and winter months sometimes and I need a longer fleece for stylish reasons. This one sits well around my rad bad behind. Instead if up at my waist. That's all. No difference in style from mens to womens other than it is longer at the waist and in the sleeves.Pluses: Longer than that womens, zippered pockets, hoodless, warm, stylish an soft.Minuses: Mine melted on teh interior a bit in the dryer. -First time I've ever had that happen to a fleece.
Sell Grandma to get it
This is the softest fleece I've ever owned. Wearing it makes cuddling up to rusty nails and broken glass comfortable. It's warm too, so if those nails and glass have been sitting in the fridge, you still won't mind.Seriously, I doubt this is actual polyester fleece. I'm sure that somewhere in an alternate dimension filled with happy feelings and rose-smelling unicorn poop, there's a hairless magical baby seal wondering where his fur went. "I didn't drink THAT much last night," He'll think. "WTF? Y'know, I bet Gary took it. I always hated Gary."So, yes, sell Nana to the circus and buy this. She won't blame you. She has a thing for the trapeze anyway.
Warm, functional, and stylish.
The fleece is very comfortable and keeps you quite warm. This jacket works great by itself of layered with a windbreaker. It fits quite well, I haven't had much of an issue of wind going up the bottom of it. This jacket is durable - besides using this as a day to day jacket, I've taken this jacket on numerous hikes, kayaking, and even caving once and never had any significant damage. The only downside is after about 3 years of heavy use, the fleece starts to thin out and the jacket loses some of its warmth. However, I'm still satisfied enough with its performance to replace my original Monkey Man jacket with another.
Second one!
I loved the monkey fleeces so much I had to replace the black half zip one that I had. They don't seem to make the 1/2 zip anymore, so I went with the full zip. Love the feel, especially nice after a workout in the cold weather. The full zip allows me to use it more as a light jacket versus the 1/2 zip that I wore more as a sweatshirt. After several years of use the black 1/2 zip became matted at the elbows. I still use it for active wear but keep this new one for wearing out.
Incredible Fleece
Overall I think this is a great fleece. It is actually my favorite out of all my fleeces. The fit is good I'm 5'10 135lbs and med. fits perfect. No this fleece is not windproof but thats fine because I use it for layering under my jackets. The fleece is very warm though and breathes well and is super comfortable. I don't even have anything bad to say about it except for the price I think is a little high. The best thing about it is that pet hair doesn't stick to it like other fleeces.
Its a Heater!
I bought this as a surprise gift for my wife (no more excuses not to get out in the cool fall and nippy winter days now, is there?). She absolutely loves it and wears it almost every day. If its raining or wet outside, she'll layer over it with a light shell. It could almost be the last warm jacket you'll ever buy. Why the men's and not the women's some may ask...well, my wife is partial to red and the lava is a rich deep red and it wasn't offered as a women's color choice.
The Monkey Man Jacket and Zip T are the insulating layers I reach for anytime I head out into the unknown anywhere on earth. I can always guarantee, even mid summer, there will be a need for a jacket that keeps you warm whether you are wet or dry. The insulating properties of the wicking fleece outperform the dark sky and cold when an alpine start suddenly dictates the day. Put it in your car, throw it in your pack or load it in your duffle, it fits anywhere when you don't need it on.
Everything you've ever wanted!!
This jacket is pure genius: Soft, yet durable, the long arms let you cover your hands and stay extra warm. I love the inside of the jacket being the same as the outside. I have had my jacket for almost 2 years and it's still soft enough that the ladies love to feel it. Makes for a great pillow as well! Just be careful how often you wear a pack with it because the back will start to mat down.
Negative Reviews:
Comfortable but sized for a monkey
I'm 5' 10" and 160 lbs so I ordered a Medium based on Mountain Hardwear's sizing. It does not follow the size specifications since the jacket is about 2" short and snug fitting. Gave jacket to my wife and ordered a Large - better fit in torso but arms are long. Mountain Hardwear should modify this jacket so it conforms to their sizing.
Not built well.
I've owned this jacket less than a month and it has a hole in it already (upper right seam). I've only worn it to work and back, nothing exciting. I'm not happy, I waited almost two years to buy this jacket.
Neutral Reviews:
Good jacket, but shows wear and the fit has changed
The warmth to weight ratio is a winner and it's a great on the trail or the sidewalk. The material is unique. It's as soft and warm as any light jacket you'll ever wear. 2 issues: 1 - you have to maintain the jacket to keep it looking nice. Wash and brush it (yes, brush it) regularly. 2 - This is my 3rd Monkey Man and the arms are now significantly longer than they were before. This time the arms are probably 2 inches longer than the other two same-sized Monkey Mans of the past. So if this is a replacement, prepare for a different fit in the arms. Perhaps good for some - for me it was not as the material already has a tendency to bulk up around my wrists.
