I know this thread is titled to include fleece and soft shells but I would separate the tactical fleece outerwear products from tactical soft shell products, for the purposes of this discussion. They are essentially two different things, especially their performance in our climate. Soft shells do what pure fleece outerwear does not: fleece is neither wind-proof, waterproof, nor abrasion resistant and instead it actually absorbs rain, water, slush, and snow. Some soft shells have integrated fleece lining and in that application (under the soft shell fabric) fleece can be useful.
Besides the models/manufacturers that have already been listed, I would add the: SORD Hardface Jacket and Integrated Combat Equipment (ICE) Soft Shell Jacket. While not a recommendation of either product, they fit the category.
