Another issue with fleece is that unless it has a WINDPROOF membrane lining, you need a shell of some type to get maximum warmth when the wind is blowing.

I have a Browning Thermoloft jacket very similar to this one, mine doesn't have a hood. Very warm packs small, insulates even if wet and is windproof too.
This price is a STEAL for what you get.
