That peice of gear you found can only be a very old equipment, a pre v0.82:

In that case, it means that this equipment you've got may have 4PABs, but the other stats are most likely very bad.
If I compare it to modern equipment ranges of Exquisite Leather Breastplate:
https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Equipment_Ranges_Li...her_BreastplateStrength => Upper Superior range
Dexterity => Lower Exquisite range
Endurance => Lower Superior range
Agility => Upper Exquisite range
As for the rest:
Physical mitigation => Lower Superior range
Magical Mitigation => Lower Superior range
Evade => Upper Exquisite range
Resist =>
Upper Fair / Lower Average rangeCrushing => Upper Exquisite / Lower Magnificent range
Slashing =>
Upper Average rangePiercing => Mid Superior range
Burden =>
Upper Fair / Lower Average rangeInterference => Mid Magnificent range
As you can see, your piece of gear has very irregular stats, which is characteristic of the pre-0.82 equips. But overall, as you can see, most of the stats are below Exquisite range, which is the "price" of having 4PABs on an Exquisite.
I'm not saying that your Leather Breastplate is bad. To say if it is or not, one should question himself about what he expects an Exquisite Leather Breasplate of Protection to do, and what doesn't matter. Regarding protecting yourself, you focus on Dexterity, Agility, Endurance, all the mitigations (in particular physical mitigation in that case) and Burden. If I take all of this together, this piece of equipment is not very good, as a lot of the potential is wasted in the interference and the one too many PAB. Not trash, just an Exquisite that could have been better.
I do understand your motive though, and frankly owning one of those old pieces of gear is a pride, no doubt about it. I myself wouldn't bazaar an equipment like this if I owned one. But if you want equipment that is reliable and doesn't go in extremes randomly, chose modern equipment, really. Instead of looking for as many PABs as possible, better focus on what PABs are essential to your needs, same goes for the other stats.
Don't worry, I used to think a bit like you did when I was at your level. Understanding how the equipments work is not an easy and intuitive thing.
I may not offer Leather gear that has 3 PABs, but I certainly can tell you that they are just as good as any other Exquisite gear. just tell me what you are epecting from your equipment and I can suggest you a few gear to fit your needs. (IMG:[
