Between ordering this and receiving it, I went for a ride where I unzipped my jersey on a long climb. I was regretting my purchase before I got it. Since getting this, I've worn in on 2+ hour gravel rides in 90° heat and been perfectly comfortable. No zipper? No problem. I looked around for a long time to find a casual-looking jersey that still had pockets. These are usefully sized and easy to access. Phone on one side, some nutrition on the other side. Pair it up with some shorts with SWAT and you can carry everything you need. The grippy elastic keeps the jersey *mostly* down, but if you're not wearing bibs or bib liners, you're probably showing some skin on your lower back. It's not a critical flaw though.
