I'm new here, so I hope no one minds if I just jump in w/a reply. I probably don't have a tenth the outdoor experience of most of you, but my experience mirrors John's: I recently purchased a Mountain Hardware Windstopper Fleece jacket, and in cold weather I have to layer it over a fleece midlayer. At first it struck me as rather odd to layer a fleece over a fleece, but the result does keep me warm.

Knowing what I know now, my next shell of any sort (hard or soft) will not be fleece, and it'll have a hood on it. Having the fleece on the outside of a jacket just doesn't seem to work well, and I really miss a hood when it gets cold and snowy and blustery.
