Great preview Scott, thanks! If you get a chance, I'd love to see what the jacket looks like without the sleeves on.

Personally I'm a bit bummed that the grey version isn't closer to the same shade as the TEC Shirt, but I guess that just means I'll buy the green version. :-)

Question: does the pack always protrude in the back like that?

Wish for the future: small pockets close to the wrists would be ideal for those of us who use magnetic cards (as I do here in Taiwan to enter the subway or my building). We wouldn't even need to take them out!

Good. That's what I thought, but... I wanted to make sure. Thanks for the prompt reassurance, Scott. :o)

While black is my favorite color for a vest, as a general rule, olive is my favorite color for a jacket. So I know what I'm going to buy. I've been waiting for it for months now! (I've already bought travel vests for my sister and both of my parents, but they live in France, a country not quite as hot as Taiwan.)

Oh, two other questions:

1) When can we expect to see the product on the website? (With an "X-ray" view or, even better, the full 360° treatment.)

2) Why the pack? I mean, it makes sense for a windbreaker, but in the case of a "tropical" jacket, doesn't it add several layers of clothing in the back (where body heat already tends to gather)? Didn't you reduce the number of pockets to avoid such redundant layering in the first place? Aren't both choices somewhat contradictory? (Are you out of patience with me already?)

we are working on it, but likely in about 3 weeks or so when we are ready to sell or pre-sell it

no, not really. just alittle bit of fabric but not much

Didn't you reduce the number of pockets to avoid such redundant layering in the first place?

yes

Aren't both choices somewhat contradictory?

very little

(Are you out of patience with me already?)

no
