To Whom It May Concern,
Mike Skoro is a friend of mine. I have fished, shot video and hunted with him. He's hard core, and I froze my ass off on almost every occasion we’ve gotten together in the outdoors. He talked me into trying out one of your jackets and I must say, it's the most amazing piece of clothing I have ever worn. I can actually withstand pretty much anything Ma nature can dish out with that thing on.
I can't wait for the Steelie wading jacket, and gloves to come out. I spend many an hour in deep wade mode and any other jacket just gets wet... I'd also like to see this stuff in ski jacket style/vest/pants, as well as mountain bike attire, (in colors beyond camo...) My four year old and wife would be able to hang with me too, if only you made the stuff in their sizes...
By the way, stopped into GI Joes/Tualatin OR today and noticed your display! It's good stuff. The jackets are buried in the rack, but walking around the corner, you see the water pouring on a kids vest with an H2P® sign. It turns an eye.
Life is good. Take care.
