well i got it in the mail recently... been wearing it to school for the past few days.

pros...
- well there's a lot of pockets. i discovered a few even after a day of wearing it... most of them have a little slip of paper in them telling you what they recommend the space be used for.
- the material is very nice... medium heavy... blocks out the wind pretty well and water beads up on it (doesn't soak).
- it does NOT look very geeky at all... most people i talked to thought it was just a normal vest. mine is black though, so when i wear it with a blue shirt, sometimes i feel like i should be wearing a kevlar helmet or something.


cons....
the collar is a little too high at the area closest to the chin for my liking.... sometimes it gets in the way there.
some of the zippers are impeded by these little clothing tags. i guess you can just cut them off to no large detriment though.


overall, i'm impressed... high quality stuff, and it looks good :)

Cool, I wish there was a local retailer of them... i'm hesitant to buy clothes off the net sight unseen.

can you post some pics with you wearing it? To me it seems like the dumbest/geekiest peice of clothing I have ever seen. But, i have never really seen anyone wearing one.

I dig the EVest 2.0s. It's never too cold over here in CA and I have so much damn electronics I carry around it would be perfect, especially when I bike around town.

oh wait. is it some over-pocketed vest so gadget-geeks can flash their little toys?

i just saw a comericial for dockers. aparantly they are selling pants now with lots of hidden pockets to hold all of the electronics.

I can't wait for the day when we have all in one devices. kind of like what danger inc. is making now.
