I have found nothing that fits as well as the monkey man. Gives great room in the shoulders while still maintaining a tapered fit at the abdomen.

other than being slightly small through the chest, this jacket is soft, warm, and and functional.

A great choice for the outdoorsman. Also, the monkey look is quite unique. Feels great and keeps you warm. Very durable and breathable. Also can be worn for the everyday casual events.

Order a size up if you intend to wear this as an outer layer. I am 6'2" 190lbs. and the large is a bit tight on me. If you're intending to wear it strictly as an insulation layer under your shell, then order true to size.

Nice warm jacket.
from Hobart, Tas. on 5/6/2006
Astounding warmth for weight in a fleece. Feels warm but almost weightless, almost like wearing a light down jacket. It has negligible wind resistance, so needs to be worn under a shell, and is cut slim to facilitate this. The collar is warm and is cut close, but looks a bit naff. I have found the outer pile to mat down under pack straps, so I have some concern over the durability.

This jacket fits tight. I wear Mtn Hardware M, but a L in this jacket still fit snug, which is good, no free air space makes it a very warm jacket comparable to 300 weight fleece, but a lot lighter and more compressable. It has a warm tight collar and simple large pockets with zippers that work perfectly. Remember that is is not at all wind-proof, but paired with the phantom anorak it is super versatile.

A very warm, light-weight and comfortable jacket that is just as good whilst mountaineering as it is doen the street.
from Madison, WI on 1/24/2006
Super warm, but the wind will cut right through it. Great in combination with a shell for extra warmth.

Extreamly warm I recommed this product. A little to warm for layering. Great for outer jacket or under a shell. They run a little small so if your between sizes get the next size up.

This is a great jacket. It is very light, warm and compressible. Warning, it is cut very trim and will only fit over a light base layer. It also requires a shell if you are going to be in the wind. Personally, I see these as positives rather than negatives The jacket works great for me.
