Wish I Hadn't

I bought this in the browny gold colour last spring, and I gotta say, I've only become more disappointed in the fleece as time has gone by. If you used to own a Monkey Man and are hoping this will be similar, man, are you in for a let down.The Monkey Man was thicker, warmer, with a much better cut. I could wear my MM almost all winter, and I'm talking northern BC, not Vancouver. It kept out the wind and the tight cuffs on the sleeves kept the warmth in. This new piece has none of those features. The cuffs are useless, so baggy they might as well not exist. Material is thin, more for show than for function. There is absolutely no wind protection, it provides about as much protection as a light hoody, but one that cost you 240 bucks. Wearing this thing gets cold by around 8 degrees celsius, anything below that, you need additional layers. Last thing I'll mention is the cut of the design. It seems like it was designed to fit over a box, not a human with a chest and a waist and shoulders. What I'm saying is that the jacket just hangs off you shoulders and is loose on the waist. There is no way to tighten the waist of the coat. I'm a 34 inch waist, not a tiny 28, and I'm swimming in this thing. I'm 6 feet, almost 200 lbs, so I chose a large, and this fleece is absolutely massive. One last little nitpick, the zipper is super weird. When I sit down, it bulges out in a massive arc and looks absolutely ridiculous. If you can't tell, I'm disappointed. You might be thinking, why not return it? I wanted to give it chance, hoped it would grow on me, but it's gone the other way. My loss.

Doesn't Fit Like The Monkey Man

It's a bummer MH changed the fit of these from the original Monkey Man - this newer Polartec High Loft Jacket is several inches shorter in the torso and arms. The zipper on this one is also rigid, whereas the zipper on the original Monkey Man was more flexible and sat better with the lightweight of the fabric. Love the fabric, just wish the fit was closer to the original.
