Realistically I think we're a few months away before we launch the first options and early Q4 2025 before we have a myriad of options. You wouldn't want them as they are now but we're iterating and testing every couple of weeks to get them to the point where everyone who purchases them is hopefully very happy with the performance and package.

Working on it!

@cgroom i got you.

Let's not forget Illinois and Wisconsin.

Good news for all the lovers of Navy 🫠

When the pads are released - anyone who purchased the frame only will be offered them at a discounted rate equal to the price as if bundled plus free shipping. There is no real penetration. This is a better angle.

@concertman1971 has used the MAG pads without issue. They likely will not be available for several months. The design and molds are largely complete but we're still doing small tweaks and testing the internals. The pads will operate as a two-part system meaning you can change the internals based on your preferences.

We plan on offering every frame we make as is. Obviously when we finish developing our pads we will offer them bundled (and if you purchase before we offer pads and want them we’ll offer them discounted and free shipping for folks who do want to pick them up) but have no plans on forcing it. Use what pads and harness you want/like!

Well it’s got me thinking about interior front drop pockets for ours now. Just not sure how well that’d actually work not being a full zip.

Late to the party but this is absolutely correct. You'll commonly see this on items that are meant to be customized or are commonly customized usually bags and jackets.

I really like the forward facing, decorative ball bag!

This is another one where I get it, but I also think it's all dependent on the context. A lot of what @jimurrayalterego covered. Skin conditions/considerations Climate considerations Is it padded/protective What that being said, I'm pretty much in hardcore agreement on #NoJacketsOnPlate.

I personally think this can be fine untucked but it all comes down to fit and finish...

Lies. Those hands haven’t seen a day of manual labor.
