  • 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.
