Mountain Hardwear Mynx Fleece Jacket - Women's

this fleece gives me instant warmth here with the coastal morning/evening damp, cold fog. i LOVE the plush softness and sporty/chic style, but especially dig the mountain hardwear technical features as stated above. just enough pockets, too. can't wait for colder weather and ski season to start so i can REALLY wear this beautiful yet technical jacket. we have hardwood & tile floors and wooden blinds (read: NO insulation) so i usually hate to get out of bed, much less go outside when it's cold but now i just step out of my warm robe into my glamourous technical jacket and i'm completely warm. i feel ready for whatever the weather throws at me!

I am very impressed with the style and warmth of this jacket. Have worn it out on many occassions like early morning walks in Sydney and weekends in Canberra (4 degrees temps). It has more than been well suited for weather. The ample number of pockets is very handy for phones,keys etc. For those of you who are looking for a smart cut in a jacket this is the one for you. Very nice. I have received so many compliments about it and will be sure to purchase another one next season.

This is, by far, my favorite article of clothing. It's super cozy and warm, so I won't be utilizing it too much in the summer. But, it's incredibly comfortable. It has a slightly roomy fit, which makes it good for wearing over a sweater, however it's so warm a sweater might not be necessary!

A windproof plush jacket -- who wudda thunk it?! This is my favorite "around town" jacket when the wind is howling. It keeps me perfectly toasty and still stylish in 40-some degrees and 20+mph windgusts. It fits snug (beware!) so it can probably be layered under a shell or another jacket in colder temps. It seems too pretty to be a technical jacket, but the famous Mountain Hardware technical pedigree is all there. I'm not inclined to wear mine outdoors b/c of the color I got (off-white), but I can totally envision being cloaked in this jacket in (a darker color) while roasting marshmallows over a campfire or enjoying cowboy coffee in the Montana woods. It washes well, doesn't get matted down at all. Only downside is it looks like real fur... so I almost feel guilty wearing it for fear of promoting fur fashion! But until I get egged, I'm gonna keep reaching for it b/c it suits my active urban lifestyle in every way.

I got this jacket in white, and it's my favorite new piece this season. The fleece is very soft--it's vegan but it almost feels like rabbit fur. It's not the same greasy monkey fleece Mountain Hardwear and The North Face have been recycling again and again. The manufacturer's review is pretty right-on, but I disagree with their recommended uses. For me, this fleece is too hot and heavy for high-energy activity. It works better (and very effectively) as casual or post-activity insulation.
