buy an Intel knock barebones PC and get a limited edition t-shirt and in-game
0:10
items for Planet Side 2 click now to learn more welcome to a bit of an
0:14
unconventional unboxing rather than unpacking or unboxing the product I'm
0:19
actually wearing the product already which is the travel vest for men and the
0:24
performance t-shirt from Scott evest uh this is actually a suggestion from edzel
0:28
one of the employees here at line is Media Group that we check out these products cuz they're kind of for Tech
0:33
heads who carry around a lot of electronics with them so this is what I
0:37
look like probably the only thing about this product I'm a little bit dubious or
0:41
that that I'm a little bit skeptical about is carrying the fact that it says
0:45
you can carry a water bottle in it and still have it look not bulgy I think the
0:49
water bottle is a bit of a stretch so now I'm starting to look a little bit
0:53
more normal I think without that water bottle so there we go guys I'm going to
0:57
unpack all of the electronics and stuff
1:00
that I have in this vest and this t-shirt and I'm going to put it all on the table and y'all are going to be
1:05
pretty impressed I think so first of all in the back there is a large pocket that
1:09
you can put pretty much whatever you want in so we used this as a place to
1:13
put ah yes a notepad and paper just in
1:16
case you want to use that uh archaic technology although you could actually
1:20
fit more stuff than that in there in the front there's large pockets in each
1:24
breast so we've got a Bluetooth keyboard just in case you need one of those as
1:29
well as a 2 Amp wall wart for charging USB powered devices and then that pretty
1:33
much does it for the outside however there is one kind of cool feature here
1:37
so that is uh yes there you go your key
1:40
attached to a nice little stretchy cord here you can remove this from here you
1:44
can stuff it back in there whatever you prefer and then the pocket on the other
1:49
side I don't think we actually put anything in there no we didn't so we
1:52
missed a pocket I'm very very sorry for that man there's 24 pockets in this
1:56
thing and let's go ahead and reveal
2:00
where the magic happens so starting on
2:04
this side we have a phone or MP3 player
2:08
pocket so we've got a Motorola Moto X in there we have a zipper pocket over here
2:13
that is optimized for something like uh yes sunglasses all right let's go ahead
2:19
and then they've also got aha your own
2:22
cleaner that has a map of where all of the pockets are in the vest so it's made
2:27
from a light breathable material it's got a te um a Teflon coating on the
2:33
outside so it's stain and water resistant so it is actually an article
2:37
of clothing that you know you might reasonably be expected to wear besides
2:40
being able to carry all this stuff in it it's not cheap it's around $120 for the
2:45
vest and then they've got you know lots of other similarly priced stuff on their
2:48
website and here this is the pocket optimized camera so we put a light meter
2:52
in there in order to simulate what a camera might look like there's also ah
2:56
yes right there a separate pocket for your SD card or your other flash card so
3:01
that's uh we're right there in the pocket camera then that's it for the
3:05
pocket camera I think there's that's it for this side yeah there we go all right
3:10
so oh yes this is oh no there's a pen I can't even remember all the stuff we put
3:14
in here all right so there's some cable management spots here so you can
3:18
actually run headphones using their personal area network or pan system in
3:23
order to have them just kind of sit and be pretty much embedded in the clothing
3:28
on the other side we find the other end of where we've actually hooked up the
3:31
pan so you can see there's Loops that you can run all the wires through
3:35
there's actually little hidden spots that you can run them through as well if
3:38
you want to be a little bit more fancy about it so you can see there's another one right here so you can run things
3:43
right in the clothing but we did this pretty quickly we've got another phone
3:47
in a pocket right here so I'm going to go ahead and unplug that it should be noted that this material is designed so
3:52
you can actually use the device through it so here we can do a quick uh we can
3:57
do a quick demo of that there we go all right so they want you to be able to you
4:02
know quickly actually look at things so that's pretty cool if you had something
4:06
like a Moto X that has voice control even when it's in standby oh okay Google
4:10
now and you can actually go touch it all right this is where things start to get
4:14
really impressive I bet you guys did not notice that I was carrying a full-size
4:18
10-in tablet in my article of clothing
4:21
and then there's also some other little pockets in here so you've got some uh
4:25
wire management you've got their personal area network stuff in there as
4:28
well another Pen pocket over here on this side little ID pocket so if you
4:33
have to show your ID to anyone you don't even have necessarily have to take it
4:36
out of your vest great for traveling uh one of their suggested uses for this uh
4:41
for this thing is to just take it off at checkpoints at the airport and then
4:46
you're ready to rock you just throw that in the thing and it's got all of your stuff in it already I can't even
4:51
remember how to get at the USB drive pocket any oh yeah here it is all right
4:55
so the USB drive pocket is over here in this corner so you can throw a USB drive
4:59
or any other similarly small little piece of electronic
5:03
dadness and then I think oh no yeah okay
5:07
there's my idea I think we're getting pretty close to the end uh of this one
5:11
except oh yeah there is another breast pocket and I even had a not that okay
5:16
it's not legal to carry these concealed and you normally wouldn't you know do
5:20
that but there's a baton in here as well so there's another thing we had stored
5:24
in it they have uh conceal and carry whatever if you have a permit they have
5:29
gun compatible devices as or I don't even know what to call this thing gun
5:33
compatible clothing as well so there you go we had all of that in the vest that I
5:37
was wearing before that uh you know with their with the weight management system
5:41
that they Implement so they okay they call it no bulge technology so it's
5:44
designed to not look that much bulkier even when you have all that stuff in it and I think it works reasonably well
5:50
they've also got what they're calling a their weight distribution system where
5:53
they distribute the pocket so that it doesn't feel like one side is just being
5:57
pulled on as long as you populate it somewhat evenly and it does seem to work
6:01
with that said with this much weight and stuff in it when you're running around
6:05
or anything like that the vest does tend to jump a bit you know and and there is
6:09
some additional weight to it but at least it's well balanced so let's go
6:12
ahead and take the vest off and that leaves us with the performance t-shirt
6:16
honestly something like this is probably more up my alley Where It Feels a bit
6:20
more a bit more natural it just kind of looks like a t-shirt other than the fact
6:24
that of course it has hidden Pockets so down here I have concealed a uh card
6:29
reader as well as a portable wireless
6:33
media storage device so this will allow me to uh beam content to a tablet or
6:37
phone of which I am carrying several I also have yet another phone concealed in
6:42
my see another pan so that's in the T-shirt as well so your earbuds are
6:47
ready to go at a moment's notice and I have yet another phone inside here so I
6:51
have an HTC1 mini in this pocket up here in the
6:55
shoulder and that my friends is finally
6:59
it thank you for checking out my unboxing and I don't know like would you
7:05
even call this an unboxing I don't know of the men's travel vest from Scotty EV
7:10
vest as well as the performance t-shirt
7:13
which is made out of kind of a a lightweight uh dry fit material so it
7:18
should be moisture wicking it's quite readable quite comfortable let me just
7:21
see if there's anything that I missed so I talked about no bulge the weight management system oh yeah available in a
7:26
variety of colors I asked for black cuz I'm a very boring person
7:30
and there you have it guys not cheap but definitely very cool so I'll move
7:34
anything that wasn't being held up by
7:38

tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked
7:47
it and leave a comment let us know what you think about this and other sort of
7:51
you know electronic lifestyle friendly clothing I actually recently got an
7:55
NVIDIA hoodie at an event that I was at and one of the things that I liked about
7:59
this was that all the pockets are actually accessible and all the zippers
8:03
work so my NVIDIA hoodie has a pocket here that there's no physical way to use
8:08
both of your hands to access it so it wasn't actually very useful so this one
8:11
it seems very very well thought
8:22
out
