Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's
Super Fuzz

Ranked #297 - Men's Fleece Jackets
November 5, 2011
So I had an older Monkey Man until some unfortunate campfire incident rendered it unusable. The current version does not have the problem that plagued the older design. The fuzzy fleece doesn't get nappy anymore. I'm about 5'7" 170# and wear a 17.5/32 shirt. I have the Medium in the Monkey Man and the body fits pretty well, but the sleeves are quite long. To give you an idea, the sleeves will pull down and cover just to the tips of my fingers. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing as I tend to forget gloves nearly constantly! I would definitely recommend this jacket. Super warm and very tough, but a gentle breeze will slice right through it, so be careful about that.
Plus, when I wear it, my ladyfriends like to pet the jacket. Never a bad thing.
