One minor issue with my G&B goat

[pastimesteve]

Hi guys

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but...

My G&B goat is now about 14 months old and I love it! I wear it all of the time and it has been through rain storms, snow, etc., etc. However, my one complaint has been a "ballooning" or bulging effect in the back when I wear it, especially on one side. Basically, the back panel wants to stick out away from my body.

I'll try to post pictures at some point this week, but is there anything I can do to remedy this? I've tried to adjust the side straps as a corrective measure, but it hasn't really worked.

Maybe I should roll around in the dirt? I just think it should lay flatter against my back.

I'm trying to understand what you mean. Does the back panel seem to "balloon' up, as if there is air trapped under it? That is strange, if so.

Another culprit could be a snapped elastic band. Feel inside, to see if you can feel both elastic straps. If one came loose, that would be the culprit, AND G&B would fix it free of charge.
Keep us posted.

this is very strange. I think you may have to post pics. It's hard to visualize what you mean.

Thanks guys. I think my mastery of descriptive English is lacking! It's the bottom of the back panel on the jacket that sticks out, i.e., doesn't settle/rest against my back. The top portion is fine, it's the bottom that doesn't seem right.

Since our hospital stays, I've somehow misplaced our tripod camera holder, so I've got to figure out how to take a clear digital picture without it. ugh.

Have you tried tightening or cinching the straps a little bit? That would probably help to pull the jacket into your lower back a bit while the jacket is zipped - but it'll never really do the same as long as it's unzipped.

Mine does the same thing and if you look at the TN jacket in CS it does the same thing.
