This is fleece-lined, right? Does anyone know what weight/type, i.e, would this be considered a warm, insulated softshell? Also, is it windproof?
I'm trying to find comparable jackets to arc-teryx's easyrider jacket--just can't do the 300 bucks. So any suggestions for comparable jackets that are a hair cheaper would be really appreciated.

Seems to just be a regular, low loft fleece (probably 100- or 200-weight) with a DWR treated face fabric. I wouldn't count on this jacket being wind proof since they're touting its breathability. Try the Backcountry.com Shift softshell to save a few bucks. Made out of the same stuff as the Easyrider, but significantly cheaper. I have the men's version, and while I'm not sure I'd consider it insulated, it keeps me pretty warm as long as I keep moving.
