Amazing product, the only drawback is the missing hood

This is the best fleece jacket I have ever owned. Just got back from one month in New Zealand and I wore it every day. I didn't even take it off on the plane home. The fit is slim but not confining. I wear an 8-10 and the medium fit well. With a sweater underneath it handled cold temperatures and without the sweater, warmer temperatures. In the rain I layered a shell over it. The pocket on the chest was really handy for my passport. I only wish I could continue to wear it every day but it's getting kind of warm in Hawaii.

Bought for my wife as a gift, she never takes it off. Fit was true to size, she's 5'3"ish and around 112lbs, wears a small. I don't have to cuddle her anymore if I don't want to because this fleece does it.

I was so excited to get this jacket. It is unbelievably soft.
I usually vary between a Small & a Medium. I'm on the taller side, but have a very small waist. The Medium fit perfectly with room for layers. I usually wear a shell jacket on top for the cold Utah winters. My favorite detail is the material around the wrists & waist.. It just has a great feel & lays flat against the body. Different than other jackets like this.
I got the classic black. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a great midlayer.

I got this and it's comfortable however pretty baggy on me. I'm usually a standard small but it looks boxy and it's hard to wear with layers. If I use it as a coat rather than a layer it's ok. Wouldn't consider it a tech fleece. More of a casual fleece.

Awesome jacket! Incredibly warm. The medium was a bit large in the shoulders and looked baggy, returned it for a small and it fits great. So soft which will be perfect for mild days or layered under a shell.

Mountain Hardwear Monkey Woman fleeces are a must have for any heatseeking and style concious female. Whether you need to layer if under your ski jacket for those negative degree Vermont days, or your catching sun on the lodge deck at Brighton enjoying an apres ski chardonnay, this fleece is a go to. Fleece mix with higher density fabric face and arms give the garment durability and stretch where you need it. A super nice fit keeps you cozy and warm so you do not need to cover yourself in other layers. No more Michelin Man looks on the hill, go for the Monkey Woman look instead!

I got this as a christmas present for my mom and she loves it! It's super soft and works great as a mid-layer for skiing, snowshoeing or any winter activity. It's also stylish and can be worn on it's own in cooler weather.

Bought this jacket for my wife to wear around the house on the cool fall and early winter evenings. It is beautiful and performs as advertised. Although she has yet to use it under a shell, I am certain that it will perform as other fleeces. It is so soft and comfy.

She is delighted with its performance to this point.

I love how soft this jacket is, but it's really only good as a mid layer. The weave isn't very tight, which makes it unsuitable for any kind of windy situation. I love wearing it while hiking or climbing, though, because it's so lightweight and super soft. I've had mine for about 4 years and it's held up very nicely. I find it fits a little large as a mid layer, so if that's what you're planning, order a size down. However, as a lightweight outer, it's pretty true to size.

What else do you need?

super comfy and perfect weight. I love to put this jacket on when I come off the trail.

This is a great jacket. It definitely keeps you warm and toasty but it also breathes so your not stuffy. This is a great layers jacket to wear under a rain coat on those cold rainy days. I highly recommend this jacket . This is my everyday go to jacket during the cooler months. I usually wear smalls but this medium fits perfectly.

I bought this coat after having an earlier version of the monkey phur for about five years. It's definitely the softest "fur" I've ever owned--people will literally try to pet you!

With this version, they've really improved on proportional sizing and feminine fit. I love the old coat, but the sleeves were extremely long and tended to bunch at the cuffs, the overall fit was a tad boxy, and the bottom hem was slim-fitting, almost tapered. All that has been fixed with a feminine curvier torso, shorter sleeves, and stretch-to-fit cuffs.

I'm 5'10" with an athletic build, and I got the Rich Wine/Pomegranate in L. The fit is perfect. I would literally wear this every day if it were socially acceptable. Mountain Hardwear is really becoming my go-to, as their coats really stand up to everyday wear and nasty Montana weather.

Super warm and fluffy to the touch. The sleeves are a bit long but no big deal.

Hands down my all-time favorite fleece. I have had multiple fleeces from other brands and this is the warmest of its nature. It runs true to size and fits well. Two of these babies are hanging in my closet. One to wear outside while working and getting dirty, the other is a nicer (cleaner) one that I throw on when I'm not going to get dirty. I will never not have one of these in my wardrobe.

I have one of the older models of the Monkey Fleece, so it is a little boxier than the new version. I am 5' 9'' and 140 lbs. and size small fits me well through the shoulders and loose around my waist. I love this fleece and recommend it everyone. It is extremely warm, even when wet. I took this fleece as my main jacket on a 500+ mile backpacking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail. This jacket has one downfall, it is when it is worn alone as a jacket it does not hold up against strong wind. In those situations I would layer a soft shell jacket over it, and be stay crazy warm. All in all, I have had this jacket for almost two years and it still looks good and keeps me warm!

Fits true to size, very soft, great shoulder season coast and great layering piece for a shell in the winter. Fits on 5’11”, 150# lady

Monkey Woman 200 jacket in Emerald, size L, after about a month of wear. For reference, I am 6'0", approx 190 lbs. Fit is less feminine and more boxy than expected. Jacket also sheds... A lot... Constantly pulling green fuzzies off the seatbelt in my truck, my jeans, my desk chair at the office. Color is very rich emerald green - darker than expected, but I love it.

This is a great jacket. I bought it to layer under a down parka that I just got, although the jacket is warm enough to wear by itself. I haven't worn it outside for an extended period of time, but it was really impressing me when walking around an outdoor mall in 40 degree, damp, and windy weather. It has the kind of warmth that starts instantly as soon as you put in on. I like how the fleece stops at the end of the sleeves because it will help keep my cuffs clean. The bottom the jacket has a slight stretch and hugs me enough to keep the wind from coming in from underneath. This is an active jacket, so there is plenty of room around the shoulders for movement. No need to worry about feeling too tight when layering! For reference, I am 5'4" 127 lbs, and the small fit perfectly. The fleece of this jacket isn't as soft as some other Mountain Hardwear options, but that's okay with me because I bought it for the warmth and not so much the feel. I'm really glad I got this jacket and highly recommend it!
