mm Im designing workwear and some outer wear at the moment. I was looking at 400wt fleeces when I came across the comments about softshell.
my gut instinct is that you cant generalise because the fabric performance depends on the environment it is worn in. Soft shell is light and breathable and windproof because it is laminated. However in the cold when your activity levels are average you need a heavier fleece-you can get laminated fleeces that are less expensive and twice as warm and breathable.
