The one drawback of the jacket is that it is not exactly unobtrusive. A user will always win any arguments with airline staff or security personnel, as there’s no limit to what he or she is allowed to carry in his or her pockets, but it would be preferable to avoid such arguments in the first place.
ScotteVett claims that the jacket is as fashionable as it is functional but it actually looks like a perfectly ordinary jacket that isn’t going to result in questions at check-in or thieves realizing that the user is trying to carry thousands worth of technology in its pockets.
The jacket is also available in male and female versions, a choice of blue or black, and in sizes ranging from XS to XXXL. However, the women’s XS and S versions do not have room for the laptop pocket.
At $215, the ScotteVest OTG jacket is not a cheap purchase, but when one considers that other vests run from $100 to $195, and the jacket gives him a piece of clothing that’s useful even when not carrying half of Apple’s product line about him, it starts to look more reasonable.
As standard clothing, it’s nano-coated for water-resistance but it is not waterproof.
When it first came out on Amazon late last year, it was being retailed for $280 so the current price of $215 is already a discounted one.
