Default Clothes for gliderpilots

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your feedback.
If we get the same good response like in europe, we try to find a reseller in the US. To avoid expensive shipping and returns. And to make it easier for clients.
It was never the approach to make the most cheapest clothes. Patagonia or Northface are probably the biggest outdoor clothing companys and they produce up to 30'000 pieces from the same pants with a good quality, long story short we will never reach their prices.

If you take a procuct from arcteryx or even north face with the same quality of the fabric and same amount of features you will see that we're not far away from their prices.

About the pockets- I have to make a correction- you can use them for writing, I note there frequencies, transponder codes etc. You have even a holder for a pen. Here you can find high res pictures of all features:

As you can certainly see on the linked page there are plenty more other features than the kneepockets.

I appreciate all the comments so far, it helps us to progress.

Daniel

That is a really, really impressive web page describing these soaring pants.. I'm impressed. They are very sharp and clearly a lot of thought went into them!

50% discount for first 5 US customers ;-)!

Just kidding. Again, good luck and thanks for the info.

Sean

Hi Sean,

Thank you!
Yeah right, it's not just a pants. It's a soaring pants with a lot of features especialy for glider pilots, with features you won't find on any other pants. Maybe people get a wrong impression in our PDF flyer, i have to check that.

Maybe we make a sweepstakes one day, that would be 100% discount for one person

Include a 100$ bill in each front pocket and you got a deal.
