Extremely Soft & Light Weight
This jacket is extremely soft to the touch, warm, and light weight. The chest pocket on this jacket is very convenient and large enough for storing a phone or other personal items. The power stretch material at the waist provides a more fitted silhouette. The semi-fitted style of this jacket is very flattering and not bulky. The material of this jacket is stretchy which allows freedom of movement, and is extremely comfortable. This jacket can serve as a great mid-layer for cold weather, or an outer layer for mild weather. I highly recommend this jacket!

"Phur-ry" and comfy, nice looking design
This is my first Mountain Hardware jacket, and so far, after 2 weeks, I love it! I bought this to replace a North Face Denali Thermal jacket, so that is the only other "furry" fleece jacket I can compare it to. The North Face has a softer hand (feel) to the "fur" and is slightly warmer than the Mountain Hardware jacket, but the North Face also costs more. I'd say that this jacket is good above freezing temperatures. I like the Mountain Hardware because "everybody" has the North Face jackets and I wanted something a little different. To help people with sizing, I am 5'4" and 122 lbs. The Small fits snugly and is very flattering. I bought the Medium to allow more room for layers underneath, and it looks nice, even if I don't have layers on underneath (i.e. it doesn't look huge). I also like the stretchy cuffs on the sleeves and at the bottom of the jacket, which keep the cold out. I have the black, which has the yellow MH logo. If you don't want the logo to stand out too much, you might go for one of the other colors, which have the tone-on-tone logo (see the brown, for example, which is a nice color).

This is my first Mountain Hardwear jacket and I really like it. So soft and comfortable. I got the black and it is so stylish, I would more in likely purchase again.
January 15, 2012
Fast shipping. Love the jacket!! Will be buying another one soon. Wear it during the fall and winter at school. Altrec is a great site! Will recommend to everyone.

Great Jacket
This is a very warm, comfortable jacket. I ordered the Casper/Cool Grey one though, which was a very bright white, so I am going to exchange it for the Cool Grey/Stainless one.

Love this jacket
This is my first Mountain Hardware jacket and let me tell you I'm in love. It fits true to size although I ordered a size larger so I could wear bulkier cloths and not feel to tight. I wish this was a blanket it's so comfy and warm. It's a must buy and I like it alot better than the other brands. Quality is top notch. The monkey fur material is the softest around. The pocket on the front is perfect for my cell phone.

Great purchase!
Love this jacket. So soft and warm. It's a nice alternative to some other fleece jackets on the market. My first Mountain Hardware purchase...but not my last!
December 13, 2011
It was OK
It fit fine but there was a quality control problem, which happens. I returned and didn't replace it because I wasn't crazy about it. It was very soft and comfortable.

Comfortable Fall/Spring Jacket
Bought it for my daughter after she grew out of the same model of last year's jacket. She loves it because it's so soft and has big pockets. She doesn't like jackets that are too bulky or too warm, so it fits the bill. I wouldn't expect it to be warm enough for most people in a Midwest winter, but probably great for temps above freezing. Also, the fabric;'s very breathable, but lacks wind protection.

Very cozy!
This jacket came really quickly in the mail and is sooo soft and comfortable. I got the gray color because I have a cat who sheds at home and it has not been a problem at all. I finally look cat hair free. The jacket's really warm and soft and good for the winter.

Super warm fleece great for layering under a windproof jacket. It'll keep you warm, but if there's any wind, it'll go right through the fleece.
More fitted than traditional North Face fleeces, and the fleece is plush and soft, and doesn't pill. I'm 5'3" and petite, and a size Small was the perfect fit.
Overall, very happy with this fleece and I now own it in two different colors!
October 27, 2011
Mt. Hardware is the absolute best! This fleece is super soft, cozy & warm.
Altrec always has wonderful customer service. In addition, they have a great return policy, backing up their products. But you don't ever need to return because they sell top quality gear. One of my favorite websites selling outdoor gear.

A Must Have!
I bought this fleece to wear in the fall underneath a down vest as well as for the winter as a layer underneath my ski jacket. You will fall in love with it the first time you put it on. I like this fleece because it is a little longer then the fleeces I own from The North Face and I am tall (5'7) so I tend to gravitate toward cuts that are longer in the torso. I purchased the white fleece in a small and it fits perfectly!
October 26, 2011
Cashmere?
Slip this on and you will think you are in heaven. I bought this pre-season so its hanging in my closet waiting for cold temps. I am sure it will be a favorite. The stretch in the fleece makes it more form fitting but I think I will be able to layer underneath. Nice color green with darker green accents. Altrec shipped promptly.

Great jacket
This is a wonderful jacket. It is very comfortable and warm for days that you need a jacket, but not a heavy coat. I am 5' tall and weight 180 lbs and the XL fits me great.
October 11, 2011
great purchase
Is is comfortable, and very warm. Very good to be used below a rain jacket. I'm always cold but with this, I'm nice and snugly. The only thing is that I am very petite and the jacket is just perfect to me, so I think it runs a bit small. But I loved it and think is a great purchase!

Daughter loves this jacket!
Made with a type of Polartec which is very fuzzy, she loves it after having many straight Polartec 200 jackets. Yet to see if it doesn't mat and stays soft and smooth to the touch. Also loves the Powerstretch cuffs and side-cuts. Fits waist-length and form-fitted. Was a steal for the price. Note: the Bramble/Nebiola is really a nice purple (like the girl in the video), not the way-too-bright color it shows up on the thumbnail as.

Can't go wrong!
This is my first Mountain Hardwear jacket, haven't had a chance to wear it, so I really can't attest to all of the above first hand except sizing & I think it's true to size or even a bit on the large size. I'm 5'8" and wear a size 4/6 and I love that it's roomy enough, but not too full in the torso when zipped and the sleeves are loooong! Yay! My sister and all my nieces have one, they live in them in the winter & they look so awesome. I admired them all last season and finally decided with my kids getting older and into sports now, I needed a nice looking, lighter winter jacket that still looks sporty. I love it!

great warm jacket
I haven't worn this jacket yet but I got it for colder weather hiking/backpacking/mountaineering trips, sitting around camp, and for travel. The jacket seems very warm and the quality is the usual solid quality to be expected from Mountain Hardware. It's really soft, very, very light, and looks a bit fuzzy (monkey phur). I got the darkish purple colour and it's quite nice.
I would NOT wear this on its own as it is quite roomy. It fits like a jacket. I am 5'9", 135 lbs and got the medium. The length on the arms and body is just right (i have long arms and a long torso). The sleeves are especially nice because they have fitted stretchy cuffs to keep the warmth in - the stretchy bit is also found at the waist and around the neck. I could fit another 2 layers under it comfortably. I find the fit a bit boxy at the shoulders but i am slight. Either way, I'm not too concerned about the appearance. I'm convinced that it will serve its purpose.
Can't comment specifically on function because I haven't used it yet but I am looking forward to wearing it to a trip to Mongolia soon (October-Nov-Dec) and I have no doubt that it will be significantly warmer than my other polartec fleeces. This is also polartec but I think the fuzzy fabric will be better at keeping body heat in.

Most comfortable coat!
I am a huge Mountain Hardware fan and this coat is very comfortable! I prefer MH as it is more fitted than your everyday coat and the collar is perfect to keep your neck warm so a scarf is not necessary.
July 7, 2011
I have this in black and wear it all the time. It is light but still keeps you warm. It isn't the best for wind protection but I was surprised at how warm it is even in the wind. The fleece holds up well and hasn't matted or pilled.
July 1, 2011
Great buy!
Nice jacket that is perfect for layering. Fits true to size and is warm enough for our mild Georgia winters. The only complaint I have about this jacket is that it pills slightly after washing.
June 29, 2011
great product!
I´ve been meaning to buy this jacket for a long time and now thar I finally got it I couldn´t be happier. It´s just as I expcected: light, stretchy, comfy, warm and above all it´s very pretty and has a great fit!
June 27, 2011
Great gift
I got this jacket for my mom on mothers day. She likes it so much that she keeps it on even when in the house. It has taken over her old fleece jackets. It fits true to size and she always brings up how soft and warm it is. Mountain hardware did a great job with this comfortable female jacket.

Purchased this jacket for my sister in law and she loves it.She's an avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast.Wears it camping,snowboarding,and rock climbing.It's her all around go to jacket.Keeps her warm,and very comfortable,and loves its soft feel.
May 3, 2011
Another great product from MH!
I have this jacket in couple of colors and love it. I use it all the time in various activities or simply running errands in town. It is very stylish and warm. After many times I washed it, is still looks like brand new. After wash, I just hang dry it.

Great Jacket as a gift
Got this for my wife this past Christmas and she loves it! Now wears it more than her NorthFace denali!
Does fit a little small so got a size larger than we normally would. (Thanks to Altrec for making the swap painless!)
February 24, 2011
Warmer than I thought
I had been wanting this zip-up for a while. And when I finally broke down and got it, I was not at ALL disappointed! It is a lot warmer than expected. Although it doesn't block any wind, layered under a good, lightweight rainjacket, it's toasty. Not something I usually take into the backcountry, though, because it is fairly bulky. But also it washed a lot better than I was expecting. It turned out even fluffier and furrier than before! Definitely a win.
January 31, 2011
Good jacket
Had this jacket for about a month -- it fits a bit small from the sizing chart (size 6, but the small was too small). It's really warm and soft. A friend of mine has this jacket and after a year it begins to look a bit worn, but I suppose that's to be expected.
January 22, 2011
Very satisfied
My daughter specifically asked for this jacket. It is everything she expected.

Wonderful Jacket
The Mountain Hardwear Women's Monkey Jacket is GREAT!
I got it for myself, its very soft, stylish and comfortable. I ordered a Meduim and it was too big so i had to return it and get a small. Other then that, its a wonderful jacket.
I recommend it (:
January 4, 2011
Runs very small
Beautiful jacket, very soft but runs very small. I normally wear a small but had read that this particular jacket runs small so I ordered a medium. It fit but was very snug as I like a little looser fit. I am 5'7" and slim fit through my upper body and medium build in my arm area.
December 28, 2010
Super Soft Fleece
I got this fleece instead of a patagonia one that I was looking at that was very similar, but way more expensive. This was a perfect substitute. I bought this in white and ordered a small. I'm 5'8", 140 lbs. The arms *just* fit and I wish they were a tad longer, but overall this is an amazingly comfortable, soft and flattering fleece. Not windproof, but awesome for layering or just wearing around the house.
December 16, 2010
Great Purchase
This is my daughter's first Mountain Hardware jacket. She loves her new jacket.
December 12, 2010
great classic jacket
My girls love these jackets. Not the warmest, but certainly good for our climate. Cozy and comfortable.
December 10, 2010
My Daughter Loves it
I purchased this jacket for my college-age daughter who fell in love with how soft and comfy it is. I agree with the previous reviewer who commented that there is alot of difference between the size M and L, and my daughter would have preferred a size in between. She has had this jacket since last January, and states she has no complaints.
December 5, 2010
I bought this monkey jacket for my daughter in college. She just loves the jacket, especially the warm soft fabric. She would definitely recommend this to others.

Review for Mountain Hardware Monkey Jacket
This produce is absolutely AMAZING. Not only was it delivered to me in a timely fashion, but it fit perfectly and has been keeping me so warm. I love how clean it has remained throughout my countless days of wearing it in a row.
November 16, 2010
Love this jacket. So soft and warm. It's a Christmas present for my daughter but now I want one.
November 11, 2010
I heart this jacket!
This is my favorite jacket, not always the most practical, but it is super comfortable. I even wear it at home on the couch watching TV, it is just so cozy even the cat likes to cuddle with it. And by the way, the cat hair is not very noticeable on this fleece which is an added bonus.
I feel like Mountain Hardware needs to add a medium and a half to their sizing. I am always between a medium and large. With this jacket, I would recommend that you not size up. The medium is a bit smaller than I would like and the sleeves are barely long enough, but I feel like I'm swimming in the large. The fleece is stretchy enough that you can still comfortably layer, so that is not really a concern.
I have the purple color (don't recall the name). Its a nice color, but I wish that the cuffs, hem, etc were black to add a little contrast. I do like that the logo is the same color as the material, so I don't feel like a walking advertisement.
The jacket launders well, just follow the directions on the tag.

Awesome Fleece
I LOVE this jacket. It is one of the best fleece jackets. This is my 5th jacket that I have bought. They are so warm and hold up very well. I have bought at least one every season for a few years now. It is well worth the money!
November 8, 2010
Super soft jacket, very comfortable!
I really enjoy this jacket and just got it! It is nice and warm and extremely soft.

Monkey Woman's Jacket
Entering into my 3rd week of wearing the product and its the type of fleece I never want to take off. It is comfy and warm. Its a great layer to put on top of a long t-shirt or sweater for a chilly morning/outdoor adventure. Fits very true to size. A winter essential must!
October 23, 2010
Amazing jacket!
This jacket is great! It fits true to size ( I am normally a size 8 and I got a medium). It is much warmer than I thought, and so it is much better for outside than it is inside. I would definitely recommend buying one!
October 19, 2010
Great Jacket~
I instantly feel in love with this jacket when I borrowed one from my friend. After wearing hers for just a few hours, I knew I had to have one! Although it is a bit on the expensive side, it is worth every penny. I can never have too many jackets and this is one is at the top of my list!!
October 12, 2010
I ordered this jacket because a lot of my friends had it and absolutely loved it. It is very warm, but fits very snug. I usually wear a 0 and am 5' tall, so I ordered an XS in this jacket. I almost think it is too small, especially if you want to wear anything thicker than a t-shirt underneath. Other than the sizing issue, I would definitely recommend this jacket!
October 8, 2010
colors...
I found it very hard to gauge what some of the colors actually looked like in person. Knowing Altrec has a fantastic return policy I went for it and ordered the Bramble/Nebiola and the Cherise/Berry Soda and BOY AM I GLAD I DID! Won't be returning these... They are beautiful! The in-person color of the Bramble is what you see on the pictures of the model - a medium to dark plum. The Cherise is a beautiful, medium magenta that is better depicted online in the pictures of the Girl's Monkey Jacket (on Altrec.com). The Girl's jacket picture is a bit lighter than the actual color, especially the pocket & cuffs (pocket & cuffs are darker than the jacket). Hopefully this helps anyone/everyone make the best color choice(s) for themselves when purchasing!
P.S. I have 7 of these for a reason - they are the only things that keep me warm at work (computer room). Thermal but not wind resistant. I'm 5'7", 170lbs and the large fits me perfectly. Slightly fitted (cute fitted!) but the stretch in the hem and cuffs makes them INSANELY comfy!

Soft As A Kitten, Fits Like a Mitten
Pardon the rhyme but this jacket is soft and fits well. Despite the "monkey fur," the jacket is nicely fitted and is long enough in the sleeves and body for a tall person like me. It seems warm but I won't be able to test that out until the fall. The jacket is practical enough to wear on a hike but nice enough to wear in town. It won't spend much time in my closet.
August 23, 2010
great fit for my long arms!
I ALWAYS HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SLEEVES BEING TOO SHORT WITH JACKETS. BUT I BOUGHT THIS IN MEDIUM AND IT IS PERFECT! I LOVE HOW IT IS FITTED WITH ENOUGH LENGTH IN THE ARMS. I AM 5'5 130LBS WITH VERY LONG ARMS!
August 10, 2010
nice jacket
this jacket fits me great in the waist and is a nice jacket
July 1, 2010
Nice fit
Nice fit I'm long-waisted so this jacket is perfect for me. The sleeves are a nice length as well. Overall it fits well (a little more tailored than some fleece jackets) and the fleece is very soft. Great product for the price!

Great Jacket!
This jacket was bought as a gift, but I am told that they love it! She said it fits great, and could be used to layer or on its own. Definitely recommended!

If you like plenty of attention, this is the jacket for you. No matter where you go, people want to pet you.

I love this jacket. The color(Cypress) is beautiful and I have gotten more compliments on it than on any I have ever owned.It is warm also.It could be about an inch bigger around the chest,I have always worn a small and that is what I ordered. Sleeve length is perfect.
February 15, 2010
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, WARM AND COZY!
I am so happy with this purchase I am going to buy for my mom as well! It is very comfortable and warm! The fit is wonderful, much better then the north face I have worn in the past. I purchased it in a size large but I believe they run big and I will be exchanging it for a size medium. But as far as the quality and style I would 100% recommend it as a casual fall/winter jacket!
February 12, 2010
Great jacket!
I love this jacket. We live in Atlanta and it is perfect for our winter weather. It s pretty much all I need. The fit is true to size. I will probably end up getting another one so I can trade them off.

Super Jacket

great jacket
love the jacket, very soft and comfortable...actually returned it for a medium. i normally purchase a small but there was not much room if you are wearing a sweater
January 11, 2010
Great everyday!
Love the fit. Sizing chart was perfect. Very warm and doesn't get dirty as easily as I thought it would. Highly recommend it!
January 9, 2010
Very soft, lightweight, and warm!
I got this for my girlfriend for Christmas and Altrec was the only place I could find the right color and size. She loves the jacket! Thanks!
January 5, 2010
Awesome Jacket!
I bought this jacket for my 17 year old daughter as a surprise for Christmas and for a change from The North Face. She LOVES!!!! this jacket and says she likes it better and it seems warmer! This is from the expert herself!!!
January 5, 2010
Fits true to size, warm and incredibly soft!!
This was a wonderful gift from my husband. I use this as a fleece to wear during the day since my work area is pretty cool. It keeps me warm and it very cute! I love the color (I got the pink/mauve) and it is a little ridiculous with how soft it is that I want to keep petting myself(:
January 5, 2010
Warmer than Northface
My daughter loves this jacket!! She has always had a Northface jacket and says that this is warmer. It fits snug and is very soft.
January 4, 2010
does the job and looks great too!
this is the perfect jacket, its been 20 degrees and windy the past couple of days and I have not taken it off, its SO soft and snuggly, I just love it!!!, I got it for Christmas from my husband and each time I wear it out I get LOTS of compliments! :)
January 4, 2010
My daughters love their Mountain Hardwear monkey jackets!
My daughter spilled sparkling grape juice on the sleeve the third day she owned the jacket. We sprayed Oxyclean spray and blotted the sleeve. The stain came out easily!
January 4, 2010
Huge gift hit!
I bought this for my 12 year old stepdaughter and she has not taken it off since Christmas. The white was very pretty on her, and it is the warmest layer out there. I have a men's version and my heat bills are falling...Anytime Polartec is involved you know you are getting a superior fleece. Shipping was quick and easy.
January 3, 2010
Very Comfortable!
I own one and bought one for my mom. I don't like my jackets fitted or tight on my arms so I went up a size. These jackets are so comfortable!
January 2, 2010
Love this jacket!
Wore this jacket camping on cold night. It kept me warm and snug. Runs slightly small but otherwise fantastic.

Monkey Jacket
Love the jacket. Super warm and comfortable. Two of my girls have it and they both love it. I had one too, but lost it. Can't go wrong with this.
December 29, 2009
Gift was appreciated
I bought one for my adult daughter for Christmas. It was immediately worn and is now in AZ on her visit to her in-laws. She looks great in it.
