Looks like the reason behind the clearance at MEC on the Serratus Flak jackets back in September was because Serratus updated their design for March 2004 and introduced a women's model (right)
For the women's jacket, they have a Four paneled front foam designed to fit a woman's torso and the Back foam is darted on the bottom to contour to your waist.
For the guys, it's pretty much like last year's model except that you now are missing the velcro enclosure pocket on the front flap... oh and the whistle is no longer there either... Looks like the guys got jacked for the update...
They also added two new colours, Persimmon(red-orange) and Concrete (shown) to the Navy but have gotten rid of the popular black and yellow ones.
I heard that they may still have the previous model in their warehouse. If you're interested you can try and contact them and see what they have. Good lucking trying to locate a black one though..
