I have a light cycling jacket that someone gave me. I need to see if it is windproof. I think it is fleece lined.
Snug is trendy. More aero, quiet.
Loose gives you wider options for layering, plus more dead air.
Personally I don't want a fleece lined windbreaker because you can't eliminate that fleece layer if you get warm. A tailwind section even at 35F will get warm; then turn into the wind and your layers are soaked.
