All Things Considered it is downright tragic that we have never reviewed an item like this before well that's all about to change as PocketNow visits the king of gadget pockets Scottevest what would you do with 29 pockets I'm Adam Dowd this is PocketNow and this is a review of the Scottevest OTG jacket Scottevest has made a name for itself in this industry and hasn't gone completely unnoticed by our sight in the interest of disclosure I need to mention that Scottevest sponsored the pocket not weekly but it has been over a year since that happened but put that aside and this is a review that we've been looking forward to doing carrying around a gaggle of gadgets is often the task of a backpack or a bag but what if you could carry around everything you'd normally carry in the bag just not in the bag the Scottevest OTG jacket is just such a garment sporting 29 pockets designed to make the most of your outerwear the OTG jacket is cozy warm standing up to 30 minutes of 32 degrees check our weather waiting for the train which is late again the quilted pattern on the outside is not our preferred look but if this were a fashion video that might affect the overall score but on the inside this jacket is all about utility pockets for your pens pockets for your glasses pockets for your phone's pockets for your tablets and yes a pocket for your laptop you can carry everything you might carry in a normal bag but without the bag keeping everything neat and organized at the same time most of your pockets are located on the inside of the coat or via to quick access zippers there are two pockets for phones with clear panels that do not affect touch in the slightest though fingerprint reading is spotty at best accessing your phone as a short zipper pull and velcro tab away some other specialized pockets include an RFID blocking silver pocket to keep identity thieves at bay plus some smaller pockets designed for memory cards and USB drives running throughout the jacket are channels for cables in what Scottevest calls the personal area network these channels allow you to run cables such as battery charging cables or headphones throughout the jacket it allows you to keep all of your accessories contained and at the ready should you need them overall we're impressive the amount of storage of this coat comes with it seems a shame that so many other jackets leaves so much space unused but it needs to be said that while you can carry everything around in your pocket you need to decide if you should the weight distribution of the coat is fantastic so walking around my neighborhood of gear didn't hurt but I did feel it more importantly though having a laptop tucked into your coat isn't the most comfortable feeling in the world but like so much else in technology the real power here is having it when you need it and it being out of the way when you don't plus if you're traveling this coat can hold a carry-ons worth of items by itself and that's value thanks for checking out our review of the Scottevest OTG jacket be sure to give this video a thumbs up and a review if you liked it and don't forget to subscribe once again I am Adam down at dent technology on Twitter asking you what is in your pockets now
