I love this vest, and am more than satisfied with my purchase.
This is high quality, lined and thick. I see this vest outlasting me.
If you're looking for a good thick vest that will last, look no further. This vest is worth the cost and more.
I haven't found a better vest anywhere at twice the price.
The leather is very high quality, not too soft, not to stiff. Perfectly distressed. Better than anything I've found at Wilson's, and cheaper.
Plenty of pockets with high quality zippers. This vest is amazingly cool on a hot Texas ride, yet always seems to amaze me just how warm it is when you need an extra layer around the vital organs.
I bought this so I could keep a cell phone on my person during rides, and my innards to myself on the day I go down. Might scrape an arm off, but this thing will hold together for a few hundred feet of asphalt.
The biggest problem I have with it is that I haven't brought myself to be able to sew on any patches, it just seems wrong in some way.
I will be shopping Milwaukee for a leather jacket, and all my leather goods from now on.
