The softest jacket you'll ever own 1

June 27, 2008
I purchased this jacket (in saphire because it's on sale) to replace a 13-year-old Mountain Hardwear "Chill" fleece jacket that is probably my favorite jacket of all time. The monkey fleece is every bit as warm as I had hoped, it kept me toasty late-nite on a camping trip at 8,000ft. elevation this week. I don't think the monkey jacket will be as durable (no abrasion patches to protect fleece at shoulders, cuffs or elbows) as traditional fleece, but I think it is even warmer as a middle layer under a shell. I wouldn't recommend as an everyday 3-season jacket, but it is unbeatable for warmth/weight as an insulation layer.
Bottom line: super comfortable, warm, light-weight, and chicks will want to pet you! Order a size big, runs small.
