Their SeV Performance T-Shirt is a light, moisture-wicking t-shirt with MP3-player pocket and built-in channel for a speaker cable. They're quite light and comfortable—I have an early version—and are great for stowing a nano and maybe a key when you're out for a run. The short sleeve model is $29.99 and the long sleeve model is $34.99.

SeV also pointed out they're having a Father's Day Sale, so this post is a two-fer. – John Biggs

This jacket, like the other SeV stuff we've talked about, is a nice piece of clothing. The hidden pockets for cellphones and even laptops come in handy on trips and this one is the first that I could see using for outdoor activities. Essentially, this thing is an overnight bag you can wear. Unlike the common multi-pocketed fishing vests seen on so many attendees of geek shows like CES and E3, all the magic happens behind the scenes. Each pocket has a small hole that allows you to route wires to an fro between devices, hiding everything. This made the solar panel installation a snap.

The panel fits over the epaulets on the shoulders of the jacket. You then velcro the panel down to the lower back pocket and route the panel wire through into any other pocket on the jacket. I routed it to the right bottom pocket and plugged in the solar charger, a 4-inch box with a USB port on one side.

The panels themselves are very flexible and relatively unobtrusive. They are instantly noticeable, but with all the crap that comes on jackets these days, they appear at first glance to be some sort of frippery and not a fully-functioning solar battery.

The kit charged a few of the devices I had lying around the house. Apparently it doesn't work very well with iPods, but it seemed to be doing something. However, check before you buy if you're an Apple-only shop.

Otherwise, it's a pretty cool little setup. I can see the value of this thing on the slopes to keep the tunes pumping while you slalom down mugs of warm wine while the rest of the suckers ski.

Warning—Fashion Week this ain't.

I don't wear sweats, and when I saw the SeV Lounge Pants I was a little put off. They look like martial arts pants, straight legged and dark with an amazing 11 hidden pockets. ScotteVest makes clothing that can hold all sorts of things, from MP3 players to laser pointers, and these slacks are no exception. There's a unique magnetic closure on the pocket, a zippered change pocket, and deep pockets for your cellie and iPod. The exterior draw cord ensures you won't have to take off your belt going through the line at the airport and the heavy gauge cotton material ensures you'll stay cosy on the flight.

It's about 89 degrees here in New York right now, so putting these on in the summer isn't recommended. However, they were very light and comfortable, feeling like a cross between a well-worn pair of pajama bottoms and comfy work-out pants. As you see from this photo, they lie quite nicely on the frame and are quite soft.

Now, for the main event. The SeV Sport Tec 4.0 is a silver nylon jacket with enough hidey holes to smuggle a case of 40s into a church picnic. As we see above, you cannot hide small dogs in this jacket.

The first and most interesting pocket is the "laptop hidey hole." While my old Compaq didn't quite fit in there, a 12-inch Powerbook would definitely settle itself quite nicely provided you took the jacket off before sitting down. There is also a "pocket-in-pocket" beverage holder as well as a key chain and storm flap for the front zipper.

In terms of comfort, the jacket was warm and well made. I had a slight issue with the rear zipper sticking but that cleared up after a few inches of zipper travel. There is an easy to use system for squirrling your earbuds through the jacket and into the MP3 player pocket. This system, called the SeV Personal Area Network (PAN), isn't quite as high-tech as it sounds but it is easy to slide through a few cables through the intelligently designed conduits for easy access to cell and audio ear buds.

There is a nice, easy-to-fold hood and both of the arms can be removed, which made the jacket much cooler. The back of the jacket, near the neck, is very soft and comfortable, which was an exquisite touch.

Overall, these two SeV offerings are quite comfortable. Both have so many pockets that they require a few hours of careful study to discover them all, which is always a good way to spend a layover ("Excuse me, sir, but we'll have to call security if you don't stop digging into your pants.","But I'm looking for POCKETS!") While the Lounge Pants weren't quite my style, they were very soft and cosy and the jacket has a great set of high-tech features that make it completely wearable.

Note—No dogs were harmed in the making of this review.

Lounge Pants [SeV]
Sport Tec 4.0 [SeV]

From what I can gather, the Version 4.0 line is more or less the same concept as previous versions, but with more items; lounge pants, pullovers, hoodies, etc., all having that same ability to incorporate your various gadgetry into a single "personal area network." I'm still not sold on the whole "iPod generation" thing, but hey, if you have to carry a dozen different gizmos around with you everywhere (and we definitely know how that feels), you could do worse than to stuff 'em in your pants. Just be careful not to show too much bulge.
