Ok.. I think I've caught up enough with the first runs and supplies to post this here.
I've come up with what I think is the best solution to a snowkite jacket. Keep your old jacket, and add a Kite Panel.
http://www.kitepanel.comIf your current jacket has a new model YKK zipper, chances are we'll be able to make you a custom panel that zips into your jacket and has a built in spreader bar opening. Now we all won't have to look like clones wearing the same snowkite jackets if you want to wear your harness under your jacket. Best part, we can embroider them as well so you can promote your site, club, or business without ruining your expensive shell. Zip it in, session, zip it out. I can use the same panel in 3 of my jackets. Check it:
