Congratulations Brett and thanks for all of your feedback over the last few months.

The final version of the E-Lite Vest will be unveiled  at the Outdoor Retailer Trade Show in Salt Lake City next week and available to consumers this September.  It will come with a sweet One Liter Reservoir with Plug-N-Play and Quantum Clip.  We like it a lot.

Why call it the E-Lite?  It only weighs 9.9 ounces including the reservoir.

More details coming soon………
