As I hit the enter button on this post it occured to me I could call UK HQ.

Did, talked to Ben. He says the Spartan is almost sold out but there's another batch on the way.

The new batch will have Mocker style pockets as well as a back pocket (or two...forgot).

The material is nylon, sounds like that birds eye nylon...saw on the UK board that there's a loincloth type flap in the front...why not the back...will our backsides be visible?

Waist is elastic...sizing is different...the old S, M, L, XL

Cost is $95

Ben said they'd announce the availability of the next batch.

Colors are maroon, green, and black.

Any additional info or reviews appreciated.
