Aikido Desert - Aikido Desert Evo, any difference

[lockyv7]

Anyone know if there is any difference between the 2008 Aikido Desert jacket and the 2009 Desert Evo. I dont see any thing in the description of the ones for sale. Locky.

Yes, one can kill you with just one blow, the other takes two.

I find the jacket a bit "fussy" with two zips and velcro, but it is good apart from that.

Has anyone found any braces that will fit the loops fitted to the trousers?

Not sure if I have the evo or not.

I will more than likely toss the waterproof liner and go with an over the top rain jacket, not real fussed in the striping everything off on the side of the road to put in waterproof liners. Locky.

Doesn't seem to be any differance in them. I'd say it's pritty much the same jacket just renamed from sale in a new year.

I have the Desert suit and love it. Cann't fault it other then if you intend to wear Jeans or anything else under it go a size bigger then you would in the pants for comfort.

Do you mean metal fastenings that clip over the waistband of the trousers (see link), or another type of fastener?
