Mountain Hardwear  Polartec High-Loft Fleece Jacket - Women's

I am pleased to have received a replacement for my original Monkey Fleece however I am dubious about the quality compared to the original - the fleece is not as good quality, I hope it wears well. The arms are longer and wider at the wrist and need adjusting, the seam is now on the lower part of the arm rather than on the top which was a feature of the original. The neck is a nice snugger fit. The jacket is slightly longer than the original which is good. It is lighter than the original which is probably a combination of thinner fleece and lighter weight fabric and seams are not french seams so not as reinforced. Detail just seems to have slipped. I will keep it but feel a bit disappointed at this price point because I LOVED the original jacket!

I've bought this same fleece jacket for close to 6 years. Every version I buy is slightly updated but still fits so so well. They hold up well, are comfortable and warm. Highly recommend.

I'm 136 lbs 5'8". The Medium fits. Online it looks like it would be a warm coat/jacket, it's just average. In fact, it's surprisingly thin without much "body" to it. It's definitely not the quality REI outerwear I have had in the past. Honestly, you can find a Columbia fleece jacket at Marshalls or TJ's (I have) for less than half the price of this one, and much better made. I would have returned it, but I needed something quickly so I'll keep it.

I bought this jacket to replace the same one I’ve had for more than 10 years. Unfortunately it seems like they’ve changed it. Overall, it’s a good looking jacket and the material was super soft BUT the material was also thinner and didn’t seem like it would be warm. The sleeves are now too wide at the wrists too and left about a 2 inch gap. I have small wrists but I read another review that mentioned the same thing. I really wanted to love the jacket but ended up returning it. Hopefully they’ll make some improvements for the next version.

I bought my fleece at least 10 years ago and love it. I ordered a the new blurple color as it great online. Im sorry to say I returned it because I it seemed shiny and thinner than before. My old front pocket and under the collar was a stretchy blue similar to the fleece. I don't like the gray large pocket. I am still wearing my old fleece, it is becoming thread thin but I love it. I hope you can improve the fleece and colors. These are all pretty dark. I am hopeful for down the line, a new color and less shine!

I bought my first Mountain Hardwear Polartec High Loft jacket 11 years ago and I still wear it. The new Polartec High Loft jacket I bought last November doesn't seem as thick and is quite bigger in size compared to the one I bought 11 years ago. Aside these two minor details, I love my new Polartec jacket which keeps me cozy and warm on my outings in cold weather.

I have the original MH monkey fleece from over 10 years ago, best jacket I have ever had. The fleece is a way thicker material and the quality is 10x better. This new version I got the fleece material is not nearly as high loft and looks shiny. Really hope they will go back to the original that was loved by everyone, not to mention way more flattering.

Soft and cozy, but on windy days I did experience some breeze coming through. I do feel warm in it though and would still recommend it if you’re looking for a soft material jacket. I have sensory issues so fabric textures that don’t rub my skin weirdly are two thumbs up and this jacket passes the test!

These fleece is amazing! It's super warm but also very light weight. I love the way the collar covers the neck and the stretch built in to the sleeves and sides. The pockets are smartly placed. I want to get this in more colors.

Looks like the Monkey Woman jacket but is of poorer quality. The fleece is much thinner so not as warm and the cuffs are loose so they fall down over my hands which is just a nuisance.
