...would the STW masses recommend for general usage, no specific activities (well apart from keeping me warm on the way to the pub!)

Needs to be:

Windproof
Full zip
Casual styling (no bright leary colours!)
Not that expensive, ~£50 or so

So what's good for what I want?

Why fleece? It's never windproof without an additional layer of some sort.

How about a Montane Prism in lovely Primaloft????

Anything more specific than UniQlo? They don't seem to do the sort of thing I'm after.

something more like:

I have an ancient Peter Storm fleece, but that's really tatty now. I have no idea what's good value/quality in fleeces nowadays.

Lowe Alpine always made my fave fleeces. Not cheap, though.

[b]druidh[/b] the Peter Storm one I've almost destroyed was wind proof, the Montane isn't the sort of thing I'm after, it's far too technical looking & not my style at all, I have plenty of technical waterproof jackets, just need something casual to keep me warm whilst pottering about in

Lowe Alpine Tibet looks nice C.Flashheart.

Anything else that's similar I should be looking at?

You wanted a fleece to go to the pub in. Why do you need outdoor branded clothing? Alternatively go to TKMax.

Regatta Harvey Fleece/Softshell from Yeomans - £23 down from £40

I have one for work - not as warm as my Endura Stealth, but more casual and fine over a hoody.

*edit*

The cut looks better on the body than in the pic
