200 wt. polyester fleece. Pullcord at bottom. Two zipper pockets.

$7.00 in Sporting goods for full-zip jacket. 12 left at mine last night - all black

$13.00 in mens' for fuul-zip jacket with cordpull hood - lots left. Various colors.

Pretty inexpensive insulation layer.
 
I bagged two of the zip front ones last weekend. They are pretty nice. I got one in olive and one in black.
 
Yeah, I can remember the days when you could only get this stuff at specialty stores. And a heck of alot more expensive.

Check Cabelas as well. The prices are a little steeper but still good. The features of the garments, the quality of the fleece and the selection is also alot better.
 
Before the patent expired on Polartech, it was hard to find a polyester fleece that didn't exhibit a problem with pilling unless you paid for a "name" brand item.

Now, while Polartech is still the standard, the quality of the fabric is pretty high even in the "no name" garments.

The zippers, however, do deserve a look. Some have zippers suitable for a pocket inside a ladies purse rather than an outdoor jacket.

Also, many cheaper examples lack the cord-lock draw string at the bottom.
