The Nautica Ain't Cutting It - Any Updates On The Scottvest?

**Ken** · 02-28-2010, 02:44 PM

My favorite springtime Nautica jacket with the 4 pockets - three outside and one inside - just ain't cutting it anymore.

I remember Sourdough posting a thread about vests, and then Poco mentioned the "ScottVest," a product I had already checked out. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ght=Scott+vest

Does anybody here own/use one of these things? Is it true that the pockets don't bulge when something's in them?

I don't wanna' keep digging through my pockets to hunt for things all tangled up with each other. And, as always, I intend on continuing to make a fashion statement.

Any ScottVest recommendations?

I want to carry:

2 small sets of keys
1 cell phone
1 small pistol (when I replace the one I had, 'cause all of my guns were stolen)
1 extra magazine
1 Garmin Auto GPS unit w/o the mount (that I hate to leave in the vehicles)
1 i-Pod (that I hate to leave in the vehicles but won't listen to except when I'm in the car)
1 small PSK
1 Mini LED Flashlight (in addition to the photon lights in my PSK and on my keyrings)
2 pens
1 pocket "Weekly Minder" calendar
1 small spiral notebook
1 roll of mints
1 micro spray bottle of Calvin Klein men's fragrance (because hey, it gets results

)
1 small pack with a few meds and a couple of Band-aids just in case
and a few Slim Jims in case I get hungry

on the fly (see "mints" above)

I want the pistol, cell phone, and keys kept VERY accessable.

I pretty much carry all the rest on my stuff (wallet, cash, change, SAK, and one of them little Kleenex packs that I started carrying when I had little kids) in my pants pockets.

Vest? It sounds like you need one of these...

Got one. It's just a bit bigger - for yard work.

Not meaning to put this thread back on track, or anything, but didn't poco get a Scottvest?

Don't think so. I think he just posted about them.

The last big city trip, when I was buying fishing equipment I bought One plastic box 6 1/4" long X 3 3/4" wide and 1 7/8" deep. It opens from top or bottom. Because I did not have my new "Wonder" vest with me, I only bought one.
But based on how it fits, I am going to buy three more, not for lures but for first aid stuff, predator calls, ammo, etc. I can get two boxes in each pocket, and the total bulg'out is 1 7/8" which is maximum to keep me happy. I hate bulging pockets. It was about $3.50'ish at Walmart.

Ken, if you have lost 20 pounds in the last 37 day's, I would think you would want to hold off before you buy anything in the clothes line unless of course you wanted to have hand me downs for the forum. Maybe every 5 pounds you loose, you could buy something and auction it off when it no longer fits.
