“LOL...solar panels...that is wayyy cool!!!!! I am a geek anyway....” 1:22:29 PM 6/23/07 “I recognise the water bottle, and the car keys. I don't know WTF the rest of that stuff is.” 1:28:25 PM 6/23/07 “Smartphone, video iPod... I think it has something like 40 pockets. And I Quote: "The 4.0 includes a variety of handy pockets cleverly designed for a variety of common purposes. Many pockets, like the hand warmer ones, consist of pockets in pockets. These can be zipped apart to make one larger pocket. There are also pockets behind pockets, making a “secret” place to hide valuables. The pockets inside the lower left of the jacket are designed to hold flash memory cards and spare PDA or cell phone batteries. Even the sleeves have small outside pockets for light items. The inside deep pockets will hold water bottles or even a sub-laptop computer--standard file folders and magazines fit just fine. The nearly-invisible elastic epaulets hold a cell phone for speaker phone use. The back pocket has a custom pouch designed to hold a CamelBak® water system, with a channel leading to the collar for the drinking tube. This jacket will hold the entire contents of my briefcase without a problem. More on that later… The other unique feature lies in the Personal Area Network or PAN. Channels run throughout the jacket in which to run wires for your cell phone, iPod, PDA, etc. This keeps the headset wires from interfering with the wearers activities. The collar sports “clips” to hold ear buds at the ready when not in use, or you can store them in a provided ear bud pocket. I usually keep my Dell Axim X50v in one of the upper outside pockets for easy access, but put my cell phone down in the outer section of the hand-warmer pockets. The cords for both snake through the jacket to the ear bud holders." Teflon-coated GoreTex knockoff exterior lined with CoolMax.” 1:49:30 PM 6/23/07 “uh, I repeat my previous post. I got the part about teflon coated gore-tex and cool-max though. Oh, and something about a snake...” 1:56:35 PM 6/23/07 “I've got too damn many pockets as it is! I'd be losing things right & left.” 7:42:12 PM 6/23/07
