Guide Review - SeV Ultimate Hoodie - iPod-Friendly Sweatshirt
Well, we've evolved -- our species has done away with cassettes and now we've got clothing made just to carry around the grandbaby of the Walkman -- SeV iPod-packing duds. Carries cell phones, too. Water bottles, credit cards -- a place for everything and ways to keep everything in its place.
I had some fun fooling with the ScottEvest (SeV) hoodie -- finding all the pockets provided entertainment in itself. Cell phone or iPod earbuds get threaded through hidden holes, which I managed after some dexterity-testing fumbling; it was off to the races, then.
Perhaps the Ultimate Hoodie's design genius shows best in the pockets within pockets -- no bulky masses give away your hidden goodies. Very trick. Interior elastic pocket straps make stuff stay put, and magnetic pocket closures seal gear getaway spots. (They *whap* closed when least expected -- that's kinda fun, too.)
Testers found the SeV hoodie at a high-tech hit for around $70 (pre-order price).
