Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's
Cutting Wood with the Monkey Man Jacket
By Andrew McLean
Ranked #39 - Men's Fleece Jackets
August 31, 2009
This is the most versatile jacket I own and I wear it for everything from casual about-town outings to rock climbing. According to Mountain Hardwear, the fleece in the Monkey Man is their best insulating material, and it is also one of the most affordable. No wonder this jacket is so popular! But, chainsawing in a Monkey Man is not recommended as the wood chips get augered into the fabric and are impossible to remove, even after washing. It doesn't hurt the jacket, but gives it that special "backwoods" look whether you want it or not.
