Ranked #2101 - Men's Fleece Jackets
February 23, 2009
Thermal Pro/Monkey Phur (MH's proprietary name) is the warmest fleece period. The only jacket i've ever put on that provided instant -- and i mean INSTANT warmth! Amazing! Have the TNF Denali Thermal and love that too, it's just as good, if not better, but sadly no longer made...so get this one. I'm 5'10", 205lbs, size 44 and bought an XL. It's roomy but not baggy, and doesn't look baggy, even though in hindsight i really should've gotten a large for a more streamlined fit. But still it fits well enough under a slim shell. And a shell you'll need because it stops NO wind, but the flip side is it's great breathability for the tremendous warmth it generates. Personally, i think it insulates better than Primaloft. I also like the length -- sits just below the waist, which is key because it doesn't have a waistcord cinch. Super lightweight too. Buy it and you won't want to take it off, like ever.
