Kiter friendly jackets

Post by alf »

I recall seeing winter jackets that were kiter friendly a few years ago (slit in the middle to accomodate spreader bar.)
Anyone know where I could find jackets like this? Or any suggestions for kiter friendly winter ski coats?

Eric Byers of Snowkiting.com did a great collection of Snowkiting gear on Snowkiting.com, three jackets listed.
