Is this Jacket suitable for a winter jacket? I know it's only fleece, but it sounds like it would be very, very warm, especially since it blocks wind.

I think it depends on your definition of winter. Would probably be ok for most of winter in Utah, where it is really not all that cold on a day to day basis, but would definitely not be ok for somewhere like chicago or wisconsin where it is just damn cold all the time. It may say it blocks the wind, but it won't block ALL the wind.
