Scottevest’s Transformer Jacket
Scottevest is known for making jackets and other clothing that have a huge number of pockets designed to hold just about everything, a godsend for techies who like to travel with their gadgets. This year the company has come up with what may be its best jacket yet, the Transformer.
The softly lined jacket can be transformed into a vest nearly instantly, even while you’re wearing it. Unlike other jackets with removable sleeves that are held in place with zippers, the Transformer’s sleeves attach to the jacket using magnets. That makes adding or removing a snap (or in this case a click, click, click), and gives you a vest with the same storage capacity. And what do you do after removing the sleeves? Stuff it into the pocket designed just for them.
It’s the latest model in a constantly evolving line of products for men and women, and popular with frequent travelers and the tech community. The 20 pockets – each uniquely sized – are designed to accommodate specific items. There’s a clear pocket for a smartphone that you can use without removing, and pockets for business cards, glasses, a camera and extra memory, travel documents, keys and a water bottle. There are pockets for a USB drive, a pen, and loose change. Lastly, there’s a pocket specifically made to hold an iPad.
Surprisingly, even when the pockets are full – yes I have enough gadgets to do that – the weight is well distributed and the jacket hangs neatly. It can hold almost the entire contents of a briefcase, allowing you to effectively break the two-bag limit that the airlines impose.
The Transformer is available in three colors for $160 on their website.
