SB,
Seems like we were thinking alike. After wearing my Enigma for the first time I got Chuck on the phone to give him my comments...at his request. We talked about the pass through slot in the back for the safety tether and a few other changes that I personally would make. I think you'reright that the tether is being worked into the line as an overall good thing that most everyone would use. Some other changes were moreof a personal choice thatmay or may not be good for the overall line.
As someone else posted, Chuck will be more than willing to custom make anything you want. My stuff is cut 3" longer than normal (I'm 6'6") and he did it without blinking an eye.
You won't find better customer service, but even if you don't buy Enigma, Chuck isjust a great guy to talk to on the phone and shoot the BS with.

The "changes" I was speaking of were NOT related to the cargo pockets. I suggested Chuck add a grommet in the back for the hunters' tehter to pass thorugh. He's added that option. I also suggested (after standing in the rain for an hour and a half one day) that he change the collar to a 2 button, squared off version that wouldn't funnel rain in when it was turned up. I haven't heard back on that one.....but it's not in my hands, anymore. I also suggested an optional strap that would serve as a place to rest the cam/idler bottom wheel when standing with the bow in hand (to reduce fatigue in the bow arm). Still don't know if he'll add it.....but it's something I bet an individual could add.
The no pockets thing is a PERSONAL decision. That won't be an across the board change, at all. MOST people love the cargo pockets.
