I'm dragging this up again to canvass peoples ideas on modifications that I can do to the TItantex garment.
Here are some ideas that I have considered:-
Waist drawstring - not that I actually have a waistline, but something to keep the garment from flapping around too much - possibility.
Hem drawstring - initially I thought it would be OK then I rejected it on the grounds that any rain is likely to run strainght onto your trousers.
Wrist closures - I want to modify these to tighten more securely - the velcro just doesn't cut it for me, something like the Dutch army parka system would be better I think.
Hood - I like the hood as it is, I don't often wear a hood, but the bulk of material behind your neck is quite warming if the weather is at all inclement.
Front pocket flaps - to eliminate rain/forrest ingress and better secure its contents, not sure how yet but again not velcro as that would irritate your wrists when accessing or using the handwarmer idea.
Inner neck area - I had an idea of creating a baffle that would prevent heat loss through the neck, but I'm not convinced as yet.
If I could ask readers to comment on any of the above as I might be flogging a dead horse or inventing the next big thing.
