Are they still selling those San Francisco zip up fleece jackets around town?

I visited San Francisco 8 years ago and there were vendors all around SF selling these fleece jackets for about $15 back then. Wondering if those folks are still out and about selling same kind of thing? I think they were up at Twin Peaks and for sure on the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge at the overlook. My kids are wanting one when we go next week. thanks

Are there still tourist coming to SF in the summer with only shorts and t-shirts thinking the weather will be warm? Yup

No worries about finding those fleece jackets - they are everywhere.

They might have gone from full zipper to a partial, pullover type. At least this is what I see on the buses.

The sure bet to find those would be in China-town on Grant Street (from Bush north) and Fishermen's Wharf area, pier 39.

Thanks everyone. Good to know there may be a bargain to be found on them too!

My husband got one in Sausalito last year that's fleece on one side, reverses to a weather-resistant nylon on the other side. The fleece side has a rather nice embroidered Golden Gate bridge scene across the back. I know it was less than 20 bucks.
