TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Just wondering where I could buy some of these in Australia, I know they make down jackets like this, but have not seen any fleece jackets like this,though have not looked before, I just like the versatility of being able to remove the sleaves and just have a vest, nice when the temp go's up, but you still want your core warm :)

Please be free to call me crazy, But I like my cut off pants and down jackets :P

Cheers.

A quick Google brought this up, so if there is one, there must be others.

Ooh! Just found this! Side zippers to access your duty gear!

you can buy cycling jackets with this feature... windproof front and removable windproof sleeves. Upside/downside is that usually there is no windproof sections on the back...ok if you're wearing a pack.
Have a look at:

www.groundeffect.co.nz
or
www.wiggle.com

Some have too specific a bike cut and have rear pockets etc.

I've got a Wilderness Wear Flambloc fleece for work that has removable sleeves. Cant see it on their website but maybe give them a call.

I have one, obtained at the World Free Style skiing competition in Whistler, Canada in December 2000

Unfortunately the label is totally faded, which is not much help.
