The jacket starts to look rough after the first and esp. the second wash (2-3 months of light-moderate wear), and the zipper keeps coming undone from the bottom (it unzips itself!).  These are two huge issues, and a minor issue is that it's difficult to get the collar to lay flat.  Now that Amazon sells a comparable polar fleece, that's a better option if you want a decent fleece jacket but don't want to pay Columbia or North Face prices.
