What really impressed me about the Duke was how good it is at strapless airs being so thin, any word if the Jester sticks to your feet as well as the Duke?

Shouldn't be any noticeable difference as it's the same EVA we used on the Duke... if anything, being a lighter / smaller version of the Duke it will probably feel less likely to slip / fall away from your feet.

R U gonna make a foil?
Until then, when are you going to offer a duke/jester with rail inserts for plate mount foils?

That idea has come up many times in the office... which is about all I am authorized to say!

Har har har.
Stasky and Alamos can fight it out as to which we do first, the foil adaptable Duke / Jester or the belly button chicken loop plug with QR.

Ha you know what, the belly button I do myself, just send me a bar, I will take it apart and make a short one out of it. You'll have the rights, I'm not doing this for a living. The foil adaptable Duke I'm also interested in, so yeah, put your effort in! I even have a cousin in Ontario, so I might come over and we discuss it at the bar. Ah sorry, or at the funny beer shops or wine stores you have in Ontario - I prefer the Quebec style there
