Sun fade after extended use.
Have had this jacket for just shy of one year. Fits nice and snug in places you want it be and loose in the areas you want it to be. I wear for both work and personal use. Plates are all smooth and flat no real noticeable impressions. Stiff for the first month or so depending on usage, after that it's pretty flexible and pliable. After extensive day trips in 80° to 90° heat it can get hot. I have also worn it in temeratures as low as 26° windchill and in those times, it worked well to keep the wind out with a slight tug from the elastic waistband and adjusting the wrist cuffs. it's comfortable. Works well for public situations as people are none the wiser. Have not had any problems with any metal detectors or securities at any venues or court houses. All around a good solid product, Although it Will sun fade. Still Recommend.
