I purchased this vest in "Rub", a warm, brick red color when it was a Gold Box Special, and I really like it.  It is a good quality fleece, is comfortable, and looks great.  I like the vertical seams that add shaping and smooth lines.  A feature I really appreciate is the slightly longer dropped hem in the back, which adds coverage and warmth while bending or sitting.  The zipper works well and the two pockets are not bulky as some fleece can be.  I've not washed it yet so I can't address that, but it looks like good quality fleece that won't easily pill.  It seems true to size, and is a generous fit.  I am a somewhat busty size 12 and ordered a large, which fits well, even if it would shrink slightly.  At around $18.00, I feel that I got a steal, and would love to buy more at that price. Currently it is $25 which I think is still reasonable, but if you can buy it for less, I would recommend snapping it up.
