Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's
Too Warm?

This is hands-down the best fleece I've owned. I bought it as a thick mid layer to brave the nasty days on the mountain and it is perfect.
Honestly, the only complaint right now is it can be too warm when skiing. I don't wear it under my shell if the temp is higher than 20 - that turns out to be a sweatfest despite how breathable it is.
Also, if you don't take it off and wear it indoors it will sneak up on you... then all of a sudden you're tearing it off in a full-on heat flash.
Another reason I got this one is because I was sick and tired of every "normal" fleece looking good for 2 months, then getting that pilled look. No worries here - the fabric just does it's own thing and looks great.
