Where can I get some plain, solid color zip hoodies that fit well and are reasonably priced?

not expensive. high quality.

on sale, you can get them for $25-$40.

You can pay extra for a label on a made-in-China textile, or just get the basic product at K-mart

Dickies

75% off of a good selection of hoodies. they make quality stuff.

You can purchase American Apparel hoodies on eBay in packs of three, for half the price that American Apparel sells them for. That's the best way to buy American Apparel clothing.

Use eBay for American Apparel hoodies. You can pick them up in packs of three for cheap or even singles. I normally pay about $18 for them there.

Definitely Go AA

Lululemon makes great quality hoodies, though they're a bit heavy, and definitely not cheap.

However, I can say I've had mine for 5 years, use it mostly as an outer jacket, and get compliments on it all the time.

I can't believe nobody mentioned L.L. Bean's selection. I have bot an AA zip hoodie and a LL Bean, and the latter wins hands down in my opinion. Superior fabric. Heavier, lined feel. Several cool unique colors.

Another option is Carhart. Very heavy duty.

It seems like everyone is pretty high on American Apparel here, but not too keen on the price.

if that's the case: take a look at Alternative Apparel. They make indentical items for less and the quality doesn't suffer one bit.

Alternative Apparel

I have to go with Carhart.
Carhart hoodies

They are somewhat expensive, but they last. I've been abusing one for over 15 years now. If you go with the internally lined thermal waffle textile, it will keep you toasty (field tested in the thick of winter doing cell phone tower work in Kansas).
