Just received this second hand regulator vest and I think it's a fake.

This has been bugging me so I did some googling and found a jacket on ebay that has a very similar tag:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Patagonia-Womens-R-Series-Polartec-Full-Zip-2-Tone-Texured-Inner-Fleece-Jacket-M/174495109461?

The zipper pulls even look the same, so I am guessing they're from the same year. No longer questioning authenticity! I guess there was a time Patagonia forgot to print the year in the style number!
