Ranked #39 - Men's Fleece Jackets
August 31, 2009
I can't believe the Monkey Man Jacket hasn't been reviewed and praised by thousands of other people! It is an excellent all purpose fleece jacket with two nice big side pockets, a breast pocket, nice high collar and trim fitting cuffs.
It has a million uses, including everything from being just an everyday jacket to a piece of technical clothing for a layering system. It has an incredibly high thermal rating, which means that it keeps you very warm. This is excellent when you want it, but it also means that you will overheat if you wear it for any extended physical activity.
It works well for camping, belaying, boating or any other cold weather activity. Warm, well made, comfortable and available in a huge variety of colors. Hard to go wrong.
