It has THUMB-HOLES!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 4th Mountain Hardwear jacket and 9th piece of their gear overall. I didn't really need another midlayer/jacket fleece, but it had THUMBHOLES! Heheh. It's quickly found a place in my heart, and I presently favor it over my other Mountain Hardwear fleece jackets. It's quite comfortable from the 60s all the way down to mid 20 degrees. I'm 6"1, 193 lbs and the large fits great, though the collar is snugger than my other Mountain Hardwear Fleece. It has a trim athletic fit, so laying over it is quite easy.
Not what I hoped...
So I have a theory. Whoever named the color of this jacket "Thunderhead Grey" has never actually seen it. They saw a picture of it, sure, but never the real thing. Because you would never name that color "Thunderhead Grey". More accurately, it should be called "Right Before the Tornado Green". It's green, folks. Not bad, but in no way could you call it grey. Also, I am a very consistent size medium. All my fleeces, shirts, sweatpants, etc... medium. And this medium fits pretty well except the crazy sleeves! They're about 4-6 inches too long. I'm 6'0" tall too... so I'm not sure what's going on there. I just received the jacket today, but I'm probably going to return it. Thought you all would want to know this info, though. Hope it's helpful.
So far so good
Initially impressed with the quality although I haven't put it through the ringer. I'm 6 foot 6 and it fits snug with an athletic taper and was a little short on XL. I've read killer reviews about this but you can see through the jacket if you hold it up to the light which makes me nervous about warmth but is obviously highly breathable. Thumb holes are a nice added feature and with the slim fit it will work perfect under a shell or as a mid layer. I like my North Face Denali better but this is a close second.
Great warmth, unless it's windy
I bought the Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Grid II Jacket based on a recommendation from a friend, who has the Mokey Man 200. Well, he did actually recommend the 200, but the Grid II was slightly more expensive and weighed slightly less. I figured that it would provide the same warmth as the 200 in a more compact package. I was a bit wrong. While the Grid II is pretty warm, it fails when there's any sort of wind. An extra layer is definitely mandatory if the weather is cold and windy. That said, the Grid II is very comfortable. It's a pleasure to wear outside in mild weather, as well as when it's a bit chilly indoors. I normally wear a size Small (I am 5'9", 165lb), but got this jacket in a Medium after trying it on, which fit perfectly. All-in-all, I am glad to have the Grid II as part of my wardrobe.
A must have item
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned a Monkey Man jacket since it first came out around 2006. It is a must have item in my wardrobe. I've had the original Monkey Man and the Monkey Man 200 in the past, and the Monkey Man Grid II is the best yet. It fits great, and when Mountain Hardware said that it was warmer and lighter than previous Monkey Man jackets, I didn't believe them, but it is. It's a very nice jacket. I've been wearing it all fall season and I couldn't be happier.
Lightweight, comfortable and warm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket is very comfortable and moderately warm by itself, it feels like Harambe himself is swaddling me in his arms as if I were his own. When layered under a shell jacket, it allows your body to breathe and retain body heat. Very comfortable, sometimes I fall asleep while wearing it, often dreaming I am part monkey and part man in a land where primates rule the world. This is a great jacket with both form and function that won't let you down.
Looks great, must wear in in conjunction with a windbreaker
Fits well, a bit loose in the waist but I like the high armpit and slightly tight back. Fits pretty well for a thin, athletic body type with extra room for a solid thermal underneath. However, if this is being worn with a thin shirt, the wind cuts RIGHT through it like it's not there at all. This must be worn with a windbreaker if you're going outside with it, although it's great for the role of a midlayer. Points for a unique product.
Amazing!
I love Mnt Hardware and have been wanting a grid jacket for a couple of years now since my wife has one. I tried on a regular monkey man but the sleeves were way too long this year, must be something wrong in production. But the Grid is perfect. Warm when inside and a great 2nd base under a down. When working hard it allows much needed fresh air to flow in where a regular fleece would be way to hot and have to be removed.
Soft, warm, comfortable, great fit
I bought this jacket because it was highly rated on multiple websites for alpine climbing. The product is versatile as the pocket vents assist in cooling someone down if needed. I am a muscular built man and the medium fits snugly but allows for a range of motion. The jacket is very warm, breathable (if you choose), and mobile. Mountain Hardware continues to produce exceptional products and this is one of them!
Super Warm and soft
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this before a winter excursion. When my outer coat would not keep me warm, all I had to do was throw this on underneath and I was immediately hot. I've never worn a jacket or fleece that is so warm. The outside is super soft. The inside is partially lined with mesh to help keep you dry. The elastic sides are a nice touch for mobility. The hand pockets double as vents. The waist tightener is strange at first, but once you figure it out it works fine. The only real negative I've seen is similar to what others have reported - it's very fitted in the armpits. I wish I could go up a size to give myself more room in the armpits, but the rest of the jacket would be too big so I'm living with tighter armpits. It's noticeable with any layer underneath, even a baselayer, and I wouldn't want to put much more than two thin layers underneath or it would quickly become uncomfortable.
