Buy 2 of something good when you find it!


When my wife gave me this jacket (called a cooldown hoodie) a few years ago, I commented on not wanting to wear girl's clothing. She pointed out that no "girl's jacket" would be as nerdy looking as this. It had a total of 7 pockets - perfect for a geek like me. The one shown in the picture is a current iteration of it and obviously, they've toned down on the geek factor. The jacket had 4 pockets outside, 2 inside, an ipod headphone cord exit and tunnel(how cool is that). The 7th pocket is actually a tiny one just behind your neck inside the jacket. What for? I don't know... maybe a memory card? A light snack?

The point is, no jacket came close to the functionality of this and I was sold. It felt great, kept me warm and was functionally perfect for my needs - having a couple of celphones, an ipod, etc. It's too bad they don't sell my original jacket anymore. Moral lesson: Buy 2 of something good when you find it!!
