: : Has anyone ever asked Peter to make the opening to the Hand Warmer slits (behind the cargo pockets) slightly larger so that you can easily get your hands into the? As it stands (depending on the size of your hand) it may be a bit of a struggle.

: : If so, what was the outcome? I'm interested in slightly larger openings, but don't want a jacket with exaggerated disformed pockets.

: : thanks and regards

: Actually, yes, it was asked to be done a couple of years ago, as folks were experiencing the ripping out of the jacket at the top stress point above the side pocket. I know that Peter had the stress points reinforced above that area to stop the ripping in the design, but still did not solve the original problem. So yes, it was brought to their attention, but no, it has never been resolved. Regards. Michaelson

I've never been able to actually use the handwarmers until I received the roo skin from US Wings. It's the first one they've been usable on. I was not able to tell on the prototype FS, as it was a 40 Regular - about 8 inches too small. I did think about trying to put it on the listen to Lee Keppler scream "No!" (grin, Lee).

Cheers!
