New Model is Thinner, More Comfortable

"To the person who found their version lost its some of its loft: This isn't due to fiber breakdown, it's due to fiber clumping, which is common to most fleeces, and can be cured with a good water repellent treatment, which "unsticks" the fibers when you machine dry on LOW heat (ignore any drip-dry directions). Fiber clumping is why brand new fleece looks so much "plusher." To restore most of the original loft, j..." Read Full Review »

Good and Bad

"It's extremely comfortable and warm. However, it is not durable at all. My seatbelt wore out the fleece just driving to work. So, I won't even take it backpacking because all the straps and weight will do the same. But, it is so comfortable in the cold. Don't but it for backpacking. Buy it for cold weather...."

"Ive been using Mountain Hardwares Monkey Phur for nearly 2 years to date.Probably the best base layer that I have ever utilized.

Excellent fleece

★★★★☆

"The high-loft fleece does a great job of retaining warmth, especially under a shell. Its not windproof, but Ive worn it in -5C weather(light wind and snowfall, hiking) with an ArcTeryx Gamma SV vest, and it kept me warm. Ive worn it under a 650wt down jacket in -30C weather, and I stayed very warm. …"  Read Full Review »

"This is the best jacket I own to throw on as I am rushing out the door. I am always comfortable in it and I like it much better then the Denali I own. The zippered vents make it comfy even in 80+ temps. I also wear it skiing as a mid layer in blizzard conditions or a top layer in 30degree spring …"  Read Full Review »

"Great Jacket. Bought one last year, and so far it's lived up to my expectations and more regarding warmth to weight ratio. The Medium fits me very well (I am 5'11, 137 pound) with a bit extra in the sleeve, a nice length just past my belt and the chest is comfy - not too tight, but then again, not t …"  Read Full Review »
