Fleece comes in a lot of different weights, so "regular fleece" can have a lot of different warmths. The point of the fabric on the R2 is that it provides more warmth for less weight. The fabric has a higher loft, which means that under a rain jacket or something, it'll be much warmer than a regular fleece of the same fabric weight, but by itself, it's not at all wind resistant. So potentially, it could be warmer, but it depends how you wear it.
