    Owyhee Snap Retrofit

    After a bit of feed back from Owyhee Top Quilt owners we have decided to begin adding snaps to the Omni Tape foot box edges on the Owyhee. Several folks have asked for this in the past and we decided to get the equipment set up in the shop to begin adding snaps to all future production Owyhees.

    But looking to help out anyone that has wanted the snap feature added to their Owyhee we came up with the Retrofit.

    http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/s..._Retrofit.html

    For the cost of shipping each way we will add snaps to any Owyhee ever produced. To the best of our ability (within the range of snaps that are available) we will color match the snaps with the color of the quilt. Snap Retrofit's like most of our gear will ship out within 1-2 days of us receiving your quilt back to the shop. 3 pair of snaps will be evenly spaced along the length of the foot box omni tape to help securely hold the foot box closed.

    Glad to see this - thanks for listening to feedback, Paul. I added Kam Snaps to my 40 degree a year ago and it helps a lot. I still kick it apart sometimes but it's much more secure than the Omni Tape alone.

    I will definitely get my two quilts retrofitted. I have been meaning to do it myself, haven't got to it.

    Thanks for addressing this problem.

    Have you thought about also offering snaps at the head-end corners for the White Cloud and Owyhee (i.e., so that it snaps behind the neck)?

    It’s been a while since I have been on the site, but I was very pleased to see the foot box snap option. That was the only feature I had wished my quilt had, and soon it will. Thanks Paul!
