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.

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?

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.
Here's a link to the vest: https://www.orangeaglow.com/products/blaze-orange-vest

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