What our readers are saying: "I have owned my eVest v2.5 for a few weeks now. The only problem I am having is the micofiber shell picks up some lint. I haven't decided how I am going to clean it."

What we say: Well, first things first: remove all your devices from the SCOTTeVEST. (Sure, it may seem obvious, like not staring into the sun. But that doesn't stop people, does it?) 2.5 cannot be dry-cleaned, as it will ruin the fabric. So that leaves machine washing. Go to your Maytag and follow these instructions: machine wash cold with like colors; delicate cycle; no bleach; tumble dry on low heat; cool iron if necessary; do not steam press. For further laundry advice, please consult Martha Stewart or some such source.

"I bought a Version 2.5, but the main zipper pull broke. Can this be replaced?"

Yes. A few people have reported that the SCOTTeVEST rubber pull tab on the main zipper broke. We immediately reported this to our factory in Korea (South Korea that is), and they promptly sent us replacement zipper pulls, which are very easy to install. Please e-mail us if you need a new zipper pull.

"I hope your vest is truly an all weather vest. I travel a lot and mostly in warm weather regions and carry a lot of gadgets and a vest with a lot of ventilation surely is a big help."

You're in luck, then! While it is truly perfect in the fall and spring, the SeV is not out of place in winter or summer either. Okay, while it's not intended to shelter you from the harshest old man winter can throw your way, you still need to carry your gadgets, don't you? And even though it may seem a shame to cover up such stylin' threads, it's a greater shame to not have somewhere to store all your devices. So remove the sleeves and throw a winter coat over your vest and voila: you have an extra layer of clothing with the added bonus of being the most functional snowman on the block! You can easily wear it over your sweater too. Summertime heat? No problem, removing the sleeves and putting your SeV over a T-Shirt is a groovy look too! And for those concerned about ventilation, you can breathe easily thanks to the CoolMax® mesh in the Sport TEC Version for the ultimate in comfort and breatheability.
