What size vest would you like?

[Jeremy]

Thanks for everyone who responded to the last poll. It was close but the Hunter/Navy vest color had the lead towards the end.

 

Because it is a higher end, reversible fleece and nylon waterproof vest, with embroidery on both sides, the cost for manufacturing and shipping them through our vendor is $47.99.

 

Because of our limited budget we don't want to overcompensate (or undercompensate), so if you're interested in purchasing a vest please let me know the size you like. If you'd purchase more than one please post a message below.

 

We'll get a few extra, but a good ratio would help us out. Thanks!

2X,

 

I'm 6'2" and 220lbs and typically clothes run small in size. If they don't when I buy them they do after I wash them.

 

Like I said in the other thread if you want pre- payment I would have no problem with that. I will be ordering at least one vest to start and possibly go from there. When I say pre-payment I mean payment even before you order them.

Have you thought about kid sizes, as I'd order two for the team, one for myself and the other for my 6 year-old boy

I would also order a kid's size vest for my 8 year old. It would be way cool to be color-coordinated cachers.

 

And, y'know, even though I voted yellow for safety, the hunter green is starting to grow on me. See avatar and team name.

Hunter/Navy is starting to grow on me also, so is this strange looking fungus, I wonder if I should try washing once in a while.

Despite all my hiking, softball, soccer, skiing and Geocaching, I still tip the scale around 220 lbs, so XXL would be perfect. Perhaps I should cut down on the beer.

Hunter/Navy is acceptable (though it would be nice to actually see a picture).

 

Medium for me, probably. And for those of you who think this will shrink, I strongly doubt it. If this is the material I am thinking of, it is synthetic and doesn't shrink.

[Cache Canucks]

Although I would personally order a mens 'Large' for myself (which is how I responded to the poll), I would also be interested in purchasing either a mens 'Small' or a youths 'Large' for my young fella' ...but I could only 'vote' once, so that second vest isn't reflected in the poll results. Since there's no differentiating between 'Mens' and 'Womens' sizes in the poll choices, I'm assuming that this particular item is 'Unisex' adult sizing and, unless you say otherwise, you're not yet contemplating 'Childrens' or 'Youth' sizes (although that mightn't be a bad idea).

Did you take a look at the original 'What color?' poll recently? There's a pretty close approximation of what it would look like among the last few posts. I actually sampled the color swatches displayed beside the pic of the yellow vest to do the mock-up (as for the size of the logo, that was just my educated guess).

[Leemann]

I oops! voted for XL should have XXL I want one

what ever the color is. Thanks Jeremy

Looking at the results, the most of us are on the large size. Does that mean we have to get out and do some more exercise. I also voted for XXL. 6"3" 225lbs.

 

My wife says put a coordinate on it and I'll find it.

[Cache Canucks]

...giants! Oh my!

 

All of these 6ft+ 'XXL's out there had me looking for some reference to GeoCachers in one of my kid's story books:

Thanks. Yes, I did see that and I did read what had been done there to approximate it. It just seems so dark as to almost be black. I am hoping it turns out a little bit lighter. I know you can only go off of what is provided though - I'm not saying anything is wrong with the mock up which looks really good. It is hard to capture and reproduce colors like this, I believe. (And, yes, I am seeing it with two different monitors.)

[+ZingerHead]

Sign me up for one large - hunter green/blue sounds good, but I'll buy whatever wins. The rest of the crew is too fashion sensitive to wear geocaching-specific clothing.

[+Gumby&Pokey]

I voted a large for me,but add a medium for Sherrie as the poll will not let you vote twice.

[+Strix]

Also 6' 3", 225 lbs!

Jeremy,

Are these men's sizes or women's sizes? I need a big comfy roomy one. I need to fit clothes under it too. And I still need to geocache off all the extra weight my previously sedentary life put on.

 

YAY! Hunter/Navy!!! Woo Hoo! First time ever voted for anything that one!

You're not counting these ballots in Florida are you?

 

Cache you later,

[Aladin Sane]

I am much amused by all these puny 6'3" 225 pounders being considered giants. Try 6'8" 260 lbs.

[ikayak]

How about a try it on for size cache. One cache in the Pacific Northwest of course, where you could go to its coordinates, open the cache, try on the different sizes and check out what the green and blue is going to looks like and then post back here! Maybe the XL's really fit like an XXL...

 

(I haven't had lunch yet and am rather loopie)

...I'm beginning to suspect that heights are being exaggerated to compensate for circumference. Either that, or there's a bunch of folks out there living waaayyyyy too close to a nuclear power plant.

It is just a coincidence that this cache is 11 miles from my house.

Planet, I believe they are unisex so size appropriately.

 

Aladin, XXXL Tall, The XXXL part is fine but you shouldn't need a tall in a vest since the sleeves will be too short no matter what. Thats my problem I have long arms so I need things in tall sizes to accomadate and if they aren't I have to go with the 2X to get that little bit of extra length in the sleeve.

Hi,

My vote is also for kids sizes. If they are available I would like to order a few for my grandchildren caching buddies!

You haven't spent any time in Ohio lately have you? I think Rubbertoe has been looking for ya. You can see what I'm talking about here

[Jeremy]

Based on the responses we'll get both the forest and the yellow jackets, though more of the forest will be ordered. They should be available within 3 weeks, give or take.

 

I wear a medium normally, and the medium vest fit me very well, so they don't run large.

 

As for kids vests, we unfortunately need to hold off until we sell through a lot of the vests. Our relationship with Sunrise is good but not that good

What might be helpful for size would be if you could relate it to some other vest widely availible. I imagine Old Navy probably has one. Then we could try one on and judge from that (if they run the same, large or small in comparison). Just a thought.

I missed the original posting but they sound good. I just wish you all would get the one thing I keep asking for, Golf/Polo shirts. They are perfect for the casual office and would serve to get the word out more.

Will the vests be available for sale simultaneously through the 'regular' GeoCaching.com retailers (in my case, GPS Central in Calgary), or only from the U.S. website? If the latter is the case, would that exclude non-U.S. customers from making a purchase?

I need an XL and a Medium.

These will be available via any International Geocaching.com gear Distributor that wishes to stock them. GPS Central, specifically, has been really good about stocking new items as they arrive so I would expect that they'll soon be available in Canada. You may want to let them know your size(s) as it will definitely help them to determine appropriate inventory levels.

 

Happy Geocaching!

Would you post a link to a description / picture?

They are in They are in. How long have I been sitting here without one of these vests not knowing that they were for sale now.

 

You can find them here

 

May have to put this on my Xmas list. Hmmmm maybe before, we'll see.
