Video How Much Stuff Can Timothy Jam Into His New Hoodie's Pockets? (Video) 183
Video no longer available.
Timothy Lord is exactly the kind of person for whom the SCOTTEVEST Ultimate Hoodie Microfleece was designed; He's on the go all the time, needs to travel light, and wants to carry lots of stuff on his person to avoid checking luggage when he's flying. Yes, we know; before long half the people waiting to board airliners will be bulked out to double their normal width. Meanwhile, Timothy managed to jam an amazing amount of stuff into his new hoodie. Or jacket, as he prefers to call it.

Now they're not even trying to pretend it's not a slashvertisement.
BTW I have an awesome thinsulate coat that I take on flights, it's lightweight enough to not be a hassle, but has a ton of large pockets inside and out, I carry my nook and DS in one, phone in another, paperwork in a third...
Best part is, when I fly somewhere cold, it's actually usable as a coat there too unlike this microfleece which would probably take two more over it to keep warm ("layers!" as the scouts would say)

Maybe if he had a couple more layers of stuff and filled the entire screen with it when laying it on a table, it would have been more impressive.

And god it's worse than I thought. Dear Slashdot, I ticked the Disable Advertising button thanks.

They are fantastic for frequent travelleing. Keep all your personal items in the vest then drop the vest into the xray while you walk through the metal detector. No more digging for keys, phones/music players, loose change etc..
The worst part is you end up hoarding stupid stuff. Then your clothing becomes similar in weight to a soldier's full combat load. I had to quit that habit.

I really enjoy slashdot because there are a lot of intelligent, well-spoken people here, but I'm so close to being done with it. Makes me a little sad.

Well doesn't Slashdot's parent company own Thinkgeek? that's where this stuff is sold.

If this is an actual, personal review, it
1) is so far outside of normal /. review material as to be viewed as an external intrusion, hence the assumption of an ad. Clicking the link, there doesn't even seem to be a geek connection--it's either a big casual clothing store (ala Old Navy) or an outdoors store (ala... some outdoors store.)
2) is written in such a way as to reek of unimaginative marketing setup. Describing the "intended" user, someone who is recognizable; quick list of item highlights; groan-inducing attempt at humor.
3) should have been posted by you. It's your review, why not use terms like "I" and post it to /. with your account?
In short, even if you had altruistic/innocent intentions, everything about this "story" smells like a paid advertisement, and a poorly conceived one at that.
