Yeah, I saw that it the last catalog. I just paid twice that plus shipping from Alert Shirt. Wish I saw it a couple of weeks earlier it's a steal.

I have one...it is too hot for days like today, but it's fine for fall/spring/winter, which is when we're mostly commuting in the dark anyway.

I got this vest from Home Depot that is rated ANSI Class II. It was $20. I think it may be a better choice because it's reflectivity is tested and very high whereas with another unrated vest you don't know how well it works.
Edit: That vest is sold as one size fits all but the tag on it says it is XL. It fit me alright but may be too big for some people.
