Just had to post this link to Dad Gear, I really like the idea behind of the diaper vest, especially since half the time it's already what I do. Of course that was with winter jackets, I am a little concerned what I will do when it get's nicer out.....the vest is the perfect answer. It's a little hookie I know, but I did get to thinking about the advantages it would have as a backcountry ski vest! Having the side pockets for a small water bottle, would help keep your h20 from freezing, the pouch for the changing pad would make a great ventalation gap when skinning, and the large pockets in the front are great places for your trail bacon and snickers not to mention some extra wax or your digital camera!! of course no backcountry trip is complete with out a good diaper wipe dispenser. you laugh, but that's one of the biggest ways being a dad has impacted my packing for the backcountry, those things are life savers on a 4 day trip, where you are sweating in gore-tex and wool.....well that's as graphic as I need to get.
