Ranked #14 - Women's Fleece Jackets
January 27, 2009
Bought this jacket a few years back, and it's still looking as new. I only wear it in winter, as it's too hot for any other season. The monkey fur really keeps me warm, warmer than other heavyweight polartec fleece. And I love the soft wrist band which is standard on all MH jackets. I'm not sure what all the problem with the matting is all about as indicated in other reviews, but I've never had any problems, and I've washed it maybe only twice. But I do have an earlier edition jacket, and maybe the quality has gone down. The Mountain Hardwear website does tell you what to do in case of matting: you need to brush it like brushing a dog. Go here for more instructions: http://mountainhardwear.com/images/CareForMonkey.pdf Oh and I'm so excited that they brought back the kermit green color! (BC doesn't have it yet, but REI does have it right now.)
