4 stars because I dont know its durability yet.
I rode with this vest from Montana to Arizona on a brutal road trip in all weathers . Wore it under my rain gear so I cant say how it will hold up in the rain. But the last two days of the trip I wore it over my shirt. 12 hour days all speeds. Stayed put , pockets stayed closed. I really like the side zip relief zippers , really handy when you have several layers underneath. Its a really nice vest for what it is. Its not quite on par with an american made custom vest but its very close. If you are on a budget and dont want to blow 400 plus dollars on a custom this is a good way to go. After my trip vest still looks brand new and I did not treat it lightly on the trip I took. Id buy it again? Yes I would.
