sorry to ask kind of the same question...so when you say they are indepedant of of each other, does this mean that you have to unzip the liner and then also unzip the fleece to remove the jacket? (b/c with the zip-in 3-in-1 jackets, you just unzip the liner and both the fleece and liner are attached)
