Amongst other things we discussed a leather apron fastened with velcro to cover the chest, belly and shoulders similar to the Leon Paul coaching jacket. This is also for aesthetical reasons but most importantly in order to protect the fabric and stitching form tear, for example from jagged blades.
It also adds another layer of protection, from having used the leather covered Leon Paul jacket both with and without the leater cover I can say that the leather really adds to the protection. The one concern is that it will add too much weight, we'll see.
Hopefully I will have the new prototype for Swordfish. I'll pass on the concerns regarding the zip, it has happened to me too.
Edit: hopefully SPES will be at Swordfish in person.

Also added a strap to the zipper, so I can get it open when flushed with adrennalin and still have gloves on.
