North Face Oso Hoody - The Oso hoody fleece jacket from The North Face is Oh-So-Soft. After putting on this jacket, you will be convinced that The TKA high loft fleece must be the softest fabric on earth. You will not want to take this jacket off, nor will you be able to stop petting yourself. Did we mention this jacket is soft to the touch? MSRP: $130
Patagonia Synchilla Windzone Jacket - Patagonia made this reversible fleece jacket from Polartec Wind Pro fleece—high loft and fuzzy on one side and low cut like velour on the other. This densely knit jacket provides triple the wind resistance of a regular fleece to keep you warmer on blustery days, plus it breathes, so you don’t overheat when you’re on the move. MSRP: $180
Mountain Hardwear Monkey Woman Jacket - At only 15 ounces, the Monkey Woman Fleece Jacket from Mountain Hardwear gives you tons of warmth at a fraction of the typical fleece jacket weight. High loft Monkey Phur fleece gives this jacket a rich texture and the power stretch cuffs, wrist panel, and waist make the jacket stay in place for excellent range of motion. MSRP: $140
Arcteryx Delta SV Jacket - The Arc’teryx Delta SV has all the fine details you would expect from Arcteryx. Super loft Polartec Thermal Pro material keeps the jacket fuzzy and comfy, yet moisture and smell resistant. The zipper has a chin guard to prevent face scraping, and the gusseted underarms keep the jacket in place while you’re active. The cut is stylish and flattering to the feminine form. MSRP: $200
Marmot Radiant Jacket - Getting back to the soft theme, the Marmot Radiant Fleece challenges The North Face Oso for who is the biggest softy. The Radiant jacket uses Polartec’s long-fibered Thermal Pro Persian fabric, which actually retains heat better than standard fleece and also feels great against the skin. This 200 weight fleece works great on the outside on brisk days, or as a layer on the very frosty days. MSRP: $130
