When my SCOTTeVEST Classic Vest arrived I was anxious to open the package, after all, I now was about to wear a vest that is the essence of "coolness". That's right-coolness!
Besides being the most unique garment made for the gadget freak, the SCOTTeVEST is made from a high quality fabric that has an expensive cotton blend with a unique stretch quality to it. I was immediately impressed with my vest as I removed it from its packaging.
As soon as I ran my hand over the material, I knew I had a "keeper". It had a very definite feel of quality; somehow you just know that the material is going to last and maintain that great look!

Immediately I had to discover the pockets beyond those few that were obvious. It was clearly going to be a challenge because they are so well hidden from the unsuspecting viewer.
Looking at the front of the vest there are the two "hand warmer" pockets typically seen on any jacket. Hidden along the seams in the chest area are two pockets neatly embedded with two zippers tucked invisibly inside under the seam and just below the front pockets, neatly hidden under a flap are two additional pockets.
Each pocket has a zipper to enable you "lock up" each compartment for that extra sense of security. The zippers have fine mesh teeth and metal pulls for durability. The front zipper is a little more robust with a real heavy duty pull. There was a little touch of class with a rubberized SCOTTeVEST logo attached to the front zipper. The hand pockets have cloth tags attached so you can find the zipper easily.
In the back is a rather large pocket, again hidden under a flap, which you could store magazines or even a laptop if you were so inclined. This would be an excellent location for a water bladder if you were walking a great distance.
