POTENTIALLY A GREAT JACKET

1ST OFF I HAVE TO SAY THAT I LOVE O.R. PRODUCTS.. THEY ARE METICULOUSLY CRAFTED WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THE FRENZY IS VERY ATHLETIC AND FORM FITTING, CAN ACCOMODATE A 100 WEIGHT LAYER WELL. IT IS MORE OF A HYBRID SOFT SHELL/HARD SHELL. NOT YOUR TYPICAL SOFT SHELL. THE FRONT ZIPPER DESIGN IS CUMBERSOME AND EXPENDS MORE ENERGY THAN I'M WILLING TO DEAL WITH FIDDLING AROUND. THE HOOD IS A PAIN AS WELL. TO MAKE THE FRENZY A PRODUCT I WOULD BUY: INTEGRATE THE HOOD, ATTACHED HOODS NEVER SEEM TO FUNCTION AS WELL. RE-DESIGN THE CHEST POCKETS. IN FACT, GET RID OF THE CHEST POCKET, ADD A NAPOLEON POCKET AND A ARM ZIP. MAKE A MORE PLUSH STRETCHIER SOFT SHELL FABRIC AND IT WOULD BE A HIT!
