Well have been using the Monkey Man jacket for just short of 6 months now. Wow, it was too warm during the summer. Now the winter nights are creeping in this thermal pro fleece top is proving to be pretty darn good. My recent walk up the penine way was definately more enjoyable due to having this fleece wrapped around me. The only gripe, and it isn't really a gripe is that when the wind picks up you do feel it a little bit. But carry a light weight wind proof top and you're off again. P.S. it looks cool when your in the pub having that tot of brandy.

Yep, I practically live in mine now it's a bit colder. Works really well with a softshell over the top if the wind picks up and it's that little bit colder, too.

It does tend to attract 'strokers' on occasion, but that's not always a bad thing

Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man fleece...

Fluffy PTP isn't the most wind resistant of fleeces, but this isn't always a bad thing; I suggested it recently to someone looking for a fleece that would allow them to shed heat when necessary.
