Mountain Hardwear Women's Monkey Woman Lite Jacket

Mountain Hardwear Women's Monkey Woman Lite Jacket

While Mountain Hardwear designed their Monkey Woman Lite Jacket for female climbers, this close-fitting, midweight fleece piece has mobility enhancing features that appeal to skiers, snowboarders and winter trekkers. Mountain Hardwear used a Micro Climate Zoning design that provides Polartec Monkey Phur Lite fleece warmth along potential cold spots on your torso and Power Stretch panels on the sides, cuffs and hems where you need full range of motion. Keep in mind that the Monkey Woman Lite Jacket isn't a fleece hoodie. The entire fit is tapered and close and the hood is snug enough to double as an insulator beneath a properly-sized climbing or snowboarding helmet. Mountain Hardwear also elevated the pockets so women can access small outdoor and backcountry essentials beneath a climbing harness or backpack. In case you're wondering, this fleece outerwear is also ideal for wearing inside a tent--especially while snow camping.

• Fabric: Polartec® ThermalPro® Monkey Phur Lite fleece
• Micro Climate Zoning ™ adds insulation and stretches exactly where you need it
• Stretch panels along cuffs and hem
• Thumb loops in cuffs
• Zippered pockets are positioned to provide access beneath a harness or pack
• Center back length: 24.5 in, 62 cm
• Weight: 15 oz, 425 g

the lightest fleece
I loved this fleece sweater, it is very light and ultra packable. It fits nicely under my soft shell jacket. I am 5'3" and normally need to wear petite XS and glad the fit is very good.

Best All Around Lighter Weight Jacket
I purchased one of these last year and got so many compliments. This one is a bit different and they have made some great improvements! The fact that the material is more solid around the arms and wear and tear places makes it that much better. This is the best lighter weight warm jacket that there is! A must try for those that like to be outdoors!

I love this jacket!
This Mountain Hardwear Monkey Woman Lite Jacket is great. It is soft, generously cut and stretches beautifully. It fits "loosely" without being loose. By that, I mean it fits true-to-size. It is a close cut, but because of the stretch panels, it doesn't bind at all. I have complete range of motion through the arms and shoulders.The hood provides an excellent field of vision while keeping me warm. The long sleeves, with thumb holes, are soft and create fingerless gloves in a pinch, but they can be pushed up without losing circulation in your arms and hands if you want them out of the way. A winner!
