At least if shipped via regular mail that the handling charge is much less. Or, if there is a Canadian merchant, that could help things a lot too. Just thought that I’d pass that along. The products are great but when the total cost is over 100% of the purchase price, I can’t justify it, especially when the middleman is getting a big chunk of the money.

Many thanks for the follow-up…much appreciated! Have a great weekend!

Ok, I just tested the Polo with my 5th gen 60gb iPod video. It does fit in the breast pocket. But, the bulge can definitely be seen (especially since I’m a girl and have a little something there to start with). The weight from the full sized iPod does tug the fabric. So, I would say that the pocket is best used for smaller lighter items.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the offer to do a post-review review with the third generation iPod…your reader focus knows no bounds!

I look forward to the results!

I’m sure it would fit. But the weight of the heavier iPod might make it pull the fabric. I’ll have to try it tonight to make sure.

Nice reviews…the polo looks intriguing, but here’s a question: I’ve got the thicker third-generation iPod (not nano or mini)…any thoughts on whether that “older” technology would fit in the left-sleeve pocket and/or cause it to sag, or does the pocket seem designed more for the “thinner” new iPods?

I keep telling myself I need to upgrade, but I don’t use it for video and have a heckuva time convincing myself to spend the money when the current iPod continues to do its job!

Thanks!

Also, for those outside of the USA, it is quite a huge deterrant to have the product shipped via UPS or Fedex since they charge outrageous brokerage fees on top of the shipping plus taxes. The last Sev product I bought the shipping and fees cost me over 100% of the purchase price of the product. I love the product but I avoid buying from any vendor when I know that the shipper/courier will gouge me for shipping.

I had my 1st gen nano in the pocket Too many nanos, not enough pockets!

SeV needs an XS size.

Yes, I can. I can see the nano on the table . I have been sitting on the fence on the SeV for a long time, but what is stopping me? One word: SIZE. I am a short man of 5’3″, 140lbs and I do not think that they have my size (sigh). May be I will wait for the women size to come out and try .

I agree that the new material that these shirts use seems a bit different than what is used with the long sleeved Performance T-shirt they sent me last fall:

I like this new material better. It’s not as thin and meshy.

The new shirts does not seem to be using the 3M cloth anymore. It is still light and moisture wicking, but it feels different.

My gripe: They still don’t ship direct to Singapore. I have to use a trans-shipment service.
