Hey hey hey!
-
Today we wanted to talk about the Pacsafe hoodie and jacket.
-
These are anti-theft jackets and hoodies.
-
We've been getting a lot of questions about the hoodie in particular
-
so we thought we'd do an in-depth review
-
about what's included it, what the size and fit is like and some additional things.
-
If you're not familiar with Pacsafe, they're a company that makes anti-theft accessories and clothing
-
but they're mainly known for their backpacks and recently they've been expanding to clothing.
-
It's been pretty fun like trying out their new clothing.
-
Last time we reviewed their pants and that's in another video if you want to check that out
-
but today, we are excited to show the jackets.
-
Yeah!
-
I'm going to start with my jacket first.
-
The main difference between this jacket and Crystal's jacket is mine does not have a hood.
-
It's also a little bit more business-like.
-
It's a slim fit and it obviously has the anti-theft features but I wanted to go over the fit first.
-
It does slim right here at the waist so it's not boxy and I really like that.
-
I really don't like boxy clothing because it just doesn't...
-
I don't know, it's just not feminine for me so I really appreciate that this is a slim fit.
-
The style here with like the cuffs is a little bit of a different color.
-
Here on the side too, it's a little bit of a different color. It's a dark grey.
-
So there's a little bit of contrast there.
-
And the zipper. I like how they use a black zipper so it blends in with the jacket
-
and it's got two zippers so it's one of those where you can adjust it the way you want.
-
I've actually never done that.
-
I didn't even know it was possible to do that.
-
I have seen people do that.
-
Really?
-
Yeah. I don't know if they get hot?
-
Instead of just removing the jacket or completely opening it.
-
Maybe that's why they do that.
-
I have just never done that.
-
Yeah, I had no idea.
-
Yeah so it does have that feature for that person that uses it. Maybe you can tell us why you use that feature.
-
We've just never used it.
-
Before you get into those features, could you say what size you are and what size this jacket is?
-
We get that question a lot.
-
Yeah! This is an extra small and I'm a 32D and 25 inches on the waist
-
so I think it would fit for 30 to 34 and then maybe 25 to 26 inches for the waist.
-
I think if you go a little bit above that, it might get a little tight.
-
Yeah because I tried to wear this and it's a little bit too tight on me.
-
It fits okay but it was definitely tight on the arms and I'm more curvier than Candy is
-
so I like to have a little bit more room.
-
Probably a size small would work for me in this.
-
I'm 5 foot 9 inches and my waist is probably about 28 inches if you're 25 inches.
-
My bust is 36C so I just need a little more wiggle room.
-
Also, whenever I buy jackets, I'm pretty picky about the sleeve length, so if you're that type of person like me,
-
this one is the perfect length.
-
I usually like it like that or I actually kind of like the sleeves a bit longer as well.
-
If you're the type of person that's picky about sleeve length,
-
these are not the type that really extends past your wrists.
-
They make it just right lengthwise so just keep that in mind if you're a picky sleeve length person.
-
One more feature before we get into the inside of these jackets is
-
the material of these jackets is pretty awesome.
-
They are antibacterial and they're treated with polygiene.
-
I didn't know what that was before but basically the material that they use and how its treated is that
-
it helps fight bacteria and odor so you can wear these a lot longer without having to wash it multiple times.
-
Which is great for traveling because you don't really have a washer or dryer a lot of times.
-
You can wear this multiple times before having to wash it
-
which is great if you're traveling and also great for the environment
-
because you're not having to use the washer as much.
-
That's one thing I really like about the material that they use and it's actually soft.
-
You would think because it's treated with these type of things that the material won't be good,
-
but it's nice, comfortable, soft material
-
so if you're worried that it's going to be be hard material, I wouldn't really worry about that.
-
Alright, so now that we discussed that, I'm going to take this off and show you all the cool features inside.
-
I don't if you can see, but there's multiple pockets and yes, they have zippers.
-
I hate when there's pockets inside and there's no zippers because things fall out when you bend down
-
and I do not want that accident.
-
It's got a headphones pocket, it's got a pocket for your wallet, it's got a pen pocket.
-
Every travel bag or any type of travel accessory always has a little pen pocket
-
and I always wondered if people use that.
-
I don't know. I've never used it. I put a pen in my bag, but...
-
Anyway, that's another feature that we've never used.
-
We'll go to the other side.
-
You can see that there's a big pocket here for your phone
-
and then for sunglasses
-
and what's cool about these jackets is that they are RFID-safe
-
which means that if someone tries to scan your credit card or your passport, it blocks that.
-
That's another feature I never really knew about until I started looking into
-
what anti-theft really meant besides just locking systems.
-
It's also a way to protect from scanners.
-
There's actually scanners out there that people use that can just steal your credit card information.
-
It's not super common but it does happen
-
and I actually know someone that this happened to where someone scanned her boyfriend's credit card
-
because it was in his pocket.
-
It does happen. It's rare, but it's nice to have that peace of mind knowing that it is RFID-safe.
-
A lot of wallets have that technology so I think it's great that they include that in their clothing
-
and not just with their wallets and bags.
-
Oh, one more thing. I love that they did not put a tag here.
-
I hate that so much because it's so itchy.
-
They were kind enough to put it on the bottom here and you can cut that off easily.
-
Thank you for not putting a tag right here because I hate that so much.
-
They have a little loop here too so you can hang your jacket.
-
I want to say this jacket is a little bit more non-casual.
-
If you want to look a little bit more sophisticated on your flight or on your travels, I think this is the one to go with.
-
Crystal is wearing the more casual jacket here.
-
Yeah, I'm more of a casual type so I really wanted the hoodie
-
and I'm kind of guessing a lot more women are going towards this hoodie
-
because I've gotten so many questions about it.
-
I finally got one because I've been wanting one too but they didn't have my size for the longest time
-
so finally got it and this is a size S. I could maybe go to a size Medium
-
because it is very snug on me and I do like a little bit more room
-
so if you're that type that wants to have a little bit more wiggle room,
-
maybe go with the size Medium if you're my measurements.
-
I actually like it fitted like this.
-
Yeah, Candy likes it really fitted.
-
I was telling her "No, don't go up a size. It looks great."
-
But she really does like a little more room.
-
I'm just saying maybe. Maybe I might go medium because I just like to have a little bit more room.
-
I mean I love the feel of it. It's very comfortable.
-
Candy mentioned the material earlier. It's the same kind of material. It's protected.
-
It's very thick too so it's very, very warm. It'll be great for traveling when you're on the airplane
-
because airplanes always make it so freaking cold.
-
I don't know why!
-
Do you think this is a little bit thicker than this one?
-
I think it is. This does feel thicker.
-
And then I love, love pockets.
-
They definitely put a lot of pockets in this hoodie.
-
There's one right here. This is probably my favorite pocket up here.
-
Yeah because this one does not have that pocket (Candy's jacket).
-
I like this pocket up front.
-
There's also these two hidden pockets here
-
if you want, you could put stuff in here.
-
There's also side pockets here.
-
The hoodie actually fits really cool.
-
You know how sometimes hoodies don't fit or they don't really look right when you put it on
-
but this actually has a structure to it and you can put it up to your chin.
-
They make it a little bit bigger so that when you're on your flight, you can kind of use it as like an eye mask.
-
Yeah, it can go over a little bit.
-
You can cover your mouth if your face is cold. You can do this.
-
They have some strings so you could tighten it.
-
Another good thing I noticed is this.
-
You know how some jackets, even when you put it up that high, the zipper is exposed?
-
They actually make an extra flap here so it's not uncomfortable so that's a really good feature.
-
So thoughtful.
-
I'm going to take this off because it's really hot. Like I said, it's really warm.
-
Inside is kind of similar to what Candy had on her jacket.
-
I still have the tag on it.
-
This is the phone in here that you could put in. It's a very deep pocket.
-
I almost feel like an Ipad can fit in there.
-
A mini iPad probably.
-
Yeah, a mini one because look how big that is.
-
It goes down to there.
-
Possibly an iPad, so we'll test that out.
-
It does have a smart tablet icon on there.
-
Yeah, you can probably fit an Ipad in there.
-
There also is another bottom pocket here that has a glasses icon so you can put your glasses in there
-
but you can really put anything in there.
-
If you're trying to take weight off of your carry-on, these are great pockets. Hahaha!
-
Just put everything in the pockets.
-
On the other side...
-
This has Velcro and this is where you put your headphones.
-
Oh, that's different.
-
Yeah, so it's a little bit different.
-
It'll be easier to access your headphones.
-
You could put more things in this deep pocket here.
-
If you're the type of person that carries those long wallets, it'll fit in there.
-
Not just the small wallets.
-
And again, we've got the pen or pencil holder.
-
I guess it's useful.
-
Maybe it's for the tablet pens and that's why they put that there.
-
Yeah, that could work.
-
A mystery for us since we never use it.
-
I just always put my pens in my backpack
-
but I could see how it is useful because when you don't have your backpack with you on an airplane.
-
For example, sometimes you have to fill out some forms
-
like when we go to Japan, we have to fill out the immigration form
-
and everybody asks me for a pen because I always have it in my backpack
-
but if they have this jacket, they could just put a pen in their jacket
-
and not have to worry about asking for a pen.
-
Yeah, so that's cool.
-
The major differences I think between the two jackets is that this one has a lot more exterior pockets
-
and this one just has the two on the bottom
-
but this one has one up on the top of the breast, it has two right here,
-
and then it has the side pockets
-
and then the hoodie.
-
So I think that's the major difference between the two.
-
Obviously, the styles are different but as far as the pockets and functionality,
-
I think those are the the big differences.
-
I really like it. I'm going to be using this a lot on my travels.
