Is this a "fleece" jacket? I don't know what Marmot's M2 material is. Also, what does the outer material feel like? Is it just soft like fleece, is it stretchy, or does it feel like tent material on the outside?

Also, M2 is not a material. It is a category Marmot uses to group their outerware. M2 is a great combo between weather resistance and warmth, but this jacket isn't really all that warm. It is best for layering if you need additional warmth

It's not a fleece in the sense of being fuzzy or anything like that, but you would use it in essentially the same situations as you would a normal fleece. The outer material is sort of a soft, stretchy nylon, kind of like neoprene to the touch but obviously not as stiff or bouncy.
