Yes! This year uses a very different fleece fabric. Last year the Monkey Man used MHW's proprietary Monkey Phur fleece. It's very soft, but mats like crazy. This year they've switched to a Polartec fabric that is much coarser (i.e. less soft) but will stand up to matting much better than last year's model. It's still warm, just not as "pettable" as the '08 model.
