The Essence of Coolness - SCOTTeVEST

Wow, eight pockets so far and all can be used for multiple and yet distinct purposes. Only your imagination can tell you the variety of possible uses?well, that is not really true. Scott has placed in each pocket a special card that has suggested uses. In one of the hand pockets there was a card that suggested using keys, CD/MP3 player, mini-disk player, camera, portable keyboard, wallet, and any other larger item. In addition, he lists special features a pocket might have, like the pocket he designed to hold a soda bottle after experiencing difficulty one day dealing with multiple items he had in his hands. He placed a soda bottle in his pocket and it spilled. That did it, his next iteration included a special pocket in a pocket to allow for bottles so they would not tip over and spill. Pretty cool!

Hidden inside the flap of the front zipper, there are hidden magnetic closures. A great idea for keeping the flap closed when the jacket is zipped. They are completely hidden and of course, designed not to interfere with any device you have. At the bottom of the vest there is a snap closure if you choose to use it.

On each shoulder, there is a small epaulet that would allow you to attach a GPS or similar device that you might want exposed. An excellent idea and I am sure one that came from another personal experience.

The exterior design of this vest is very clean. It has a great look, a comfortable feel, and the look of quality. The finishing touches on the exterior are the cool SCOTTeVEST logos on the top of the front flap, and another on the rear. Located on the bottom of the vest close to the sides are full logos of SCOTTeVEST on one side and TEC on the other.

So the search continues for the rest of the pockets. As I opened my vest up and looked inside of the back, there was a "cool mesh" cloth that was there to "breath" while you are wearing it. You see this "wickable" material on a lot of sports clothing today and as you know, it is excellent for a variety of climates.

I could now see how Scott was able to make the large pocket in the back. It was designed so it came into the inside of the jacket about 1/2 of an inch. I was very impressed with the design; it was neatly done and clearly had a lot of thought that went into it.
