Orange Aglow T-shirt Field Testers Needed

[whuppinstick]

I've had a lot of requests for these over the years, so I'm testing short and long-sleeved t-shirts this year for production next year. These are breathable, quick-drying polyester.

*Application form is closed.*

I have sizes M-3XL available, but for some sizes I only have 1-2 available, so don't be offended if you're not chosen. Everybody who applies will get a good discount code next year when they're released.

If the quality is as good as your game bags and vest's well be purchasing.

Does it have a front half zip ?

Does it have a front half zip ?

Good question. I am testing some with a quarter-zip, but they're more of a thermal material.
Is a quarter-zip t-shirt something you'd want? Follow up question: is there one on the market (in any color) that you would like me to model it after?

Not t shirts but a long sleeve with a half or quarter zip is my personal go to. Hoody and a half zip like the Stone glacier Avro is favorite.

This might be a possibility! Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to get your shirts, including a quarter-zip, in the mail by tomorrow.

Form filled out.  Hope you get good testers and results back!

For photos,  it's usually an image size (resolution) or file size issue.  I know some guys use tapatalk and it automatically resizes images but I don't use it.

Here is the forum sticky topic on it, hope it helps ya:

1/4 zip are cool but I prefer buttons over zipper like a henley…..:I struggle with breaking zippers

[bearhunter99]

Filled out the form - I think a 1/4 zip (or button) would be cool - especially in a midweight.  For most of the season I wear a base layer (Under Armor or Sitka) with a T-shirt or long sleeve over the top.

[Karl Blanchard]

If a shirt had buttons I wouldn't take it even at the price of $0 

[Weatherby92]

I filled out the form. I would like a chance to try out this product. I work in the forest environment year round in addition to being an avid hunter. Always looking for that perfect layer.

Whether i get to try out this product or not i hope you get some useful reviews on your shirts.

Sitka core light weight hoody is my go to for 90% of fall.. thumb loops, hood, sun protection, front zip for ventilation... I'm sure there's another half dozen brands/styles that are great too but something of that nature

I wish I could remember the name of some under armor shirts I have that are similar to the core hoody minus the hood and those are awesome

***it's called an UA seemless 1/4 zip...idk if they make them anymore but I could always send ya an old one

Thanks for the reply on this. My problem with images is hosting. Is there a place to upload them to this site that I am missing? I am clicking on the little mona lisa lady (which says "Insert Image" when hovered over), which inputs the code to drop the hosted link to my image, but I don't know where to get a hosted link anymore. Imgur used to be my source but I'm not seeing that option anymore. I guess it turns out I haven't put an image in a forum post in a couple years haha.

Just get them off your phone and don’t worry about hosting them somewhere.    Take a screenshot of whatever photo you want to post.  The screenshot will make it small enough without you having to do any editing.  Find screenshot photo on phone using the attach file button and hit post

"Attach" was what I was looking for! Thank you!

Have you considered marketing these to hikers/backpackers. Orange is encouraged by outdoor stores like REI for wear during early hunting seasons. Once the weather cools off in the Fall, few hunters or hikers will be wearing orange tee shirts.

I have considered marketing the vests and backpack panels but haven't gotten around to going through their process yet, but doing that along with the shirts might be worth it. Thank you for the idea. It makes a ton of sense for hikers.

[Oldguy]

The backpack panel is a great idea. Would help if you put a couple of straps over the shoulders to attach underneath the arms to the panel with vecro. The straps need not be fancy, just flat materal.

I'm not sure I understand. Would the mesh vest not be what you're looking for?

I'm not sure if people got an acknowledgement of receipt, but I had about 70 responses. I went through them last night and this morning and most samples are going out today. I have about 15 I'm sending out so apologies if you weren't chosen. There were so many good applications.
If you don't get a package then I will keep track of your email address and mail you a discount code next year when the shirts launch.

I would have a square back panel with two flat strips over the shoulders that go under the arms to the bottom of the square back panel. The straps would attach to panel with velcro. That would give you orange showing front and back. If you know what a sandwich board is, take off the front board,lengthen the straps and hook them to the back board on each side. Visualize a flat backpack with no belt and you'll get a rough idea. It should be less expensive than an orange rain cover for a pack

I'm assuming you are meaning this to go over a backpack. Why not just put a safety panel on your backpack?

[Oldguy]

That's what I was thinking but that doesn't give the wearer any orange on the front.

Many of our customers buy a combination of our mesh vest and the backpack panel so they're covered from both sides.

After all my non-brilliant suggestions, your vest and pack panel sounds like a better solution.
