No I SE Asia made. I discovered CR too late for that. I find them great because the fit, style, performance \[drying/ventilation\] works really well for me for warm weather riding. Construction is fine. I have not had any failures. Fabric has not been damaged despite being fairly light, but I am not a frequent crasher. Final win is that on a longer road trip it doesn't look like bike gear and is nice enough to go to a fancy restaurant or if we get invited for dinner somewhere.
I tend to buy Patagonia from their website on special. They often sell Houdini gear at 50% off as long as you are fine with colours most other people said no to and get lucky on the size offerings. I've had many similar vests/jackets and the Patagonia stuff is nicer to wear/durable \[for what it is\] and they offer repair services/great warranty. So I think you can get good value with their gear especially if you are willing to shop the sales.
