Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Jacket - Mens
The Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man jacket is an absolute MUST for winter backcountry enthusiasts, and a great-looking alternative to the run-of-the-mill fleece jackets you see everyday. In fact, it's one of the most unique, technical and attractive fleeces around. Made with Polartec Thermal Pro High Loft, the Monkey Man's fleece, affectionately known as Monkey Phur, is more plush and shaggy than the common standard. It makes you warm just looking at it. That said, the Monkey Man is much lighter than comparable fleece jackets, which brings us to its technical side. It's perfect for those concerned with insulating efficiency, i.e., most warmth per weight, and compressibility (packs well). This jacket is super breathable, so when you're skinning up the mountain quickly on a cold, bluebird day, you won't overheat and have to shed layers. The Monkey Man's great breathability, and extremely light weight prompted Everest guru, Ed Viesturs, to bring a Monkey Man Jacket on his last Annapurna trip.
