I have only used it for spring weather around Buffalo,NY. Very soft as hug attracting material. On windy/rainy cold weather it worked nicely as a layer with wind breaker/rain jacket. Not sure about beach sand?

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's:

    This jacket is awesome it is light enough that you won't notice it in your pack, but once you get to camp and need that extra layer the faux fur is nice on sore shoulders/body. The real bonus is its functionality in the field is not its only plus, but after the climb its great and stylish enough for the bar crawl.

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's:

    This fleece is a great insulation layer under a shell. One of the warmest fleeces I've ever put on. If you run cold, or are doing cold weather outdoor adventuring and are already bringing a shell, I highly recommend this.

    It has 0 windproofing though, so don't expect it to be warm on cold nights except if there is no wind, then it will keep you nice and toasty alone.

    I love the slim cut and full range of movement the long articulated sleeves provide. It sits AT the waist on my 6'1" body with a medium. A large I feel would have been a little nicer to come down further, but add too much bulk. Not a problem, just an FYI.

        Comments about Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's:

        As with all MH gear I own, I love this jacket. It is amazingly warm, and can be too warm at times. I've had it for about four years now and have figured out the best times for me to wear it. That being said it is no were near being wind resistant/proof. From a strong breeze onward the wind cuts right through it, and you will get cold. In those conditions if you have a good wind/water proof shell over you will never get cold. Learn too layer properly and this jacket will keep you remarkably warm in all cold conditions.
        P.S. If you have a girlfriend/wife she will take it from you because it is super soft,warm, and comfy:)
