This is the best windproof fleece jacket on the market, albeit the most expensive as well. The fit is great, you hardly know you have it on. Most windproof jackets with Gore Windstopper laminate are somewhat bulky and inflexible, sort of stiff. Not this one. It's soft, light and flexible, and completely windproof. I also have a Marmot Afterburner that I love, and it has fleece both inside and out on both sides of the Gore Windstopper layer, but it can get a little warm as soon as the wind dies down a bit. Not the Mountain Hardwear jacket though. The pit zips keep your core temp adjusted however you like, and I like to shed some sweat that way rather than having to remove layers.

The Marmot jacket is probably better for very cold conditions, as it's heavier and somewhat warmer. Otherwise this Mountain Hardwear Windstopper Tech jacket is great for all other conditions, and it's made for layering so as it gets colder you can adjust with polypropylene layers. If you want the best this is the windproof fleece jacket to buy. Great feeling collar lining as well.
