ThinkGeek Tropiformer Jacket: Everything in Its Right Place

Geeks travel with a lot of stuff, that is undeniable. You have your smartphone, your tablet, your MP3 player, your camera, your Wi-Fi dongle, comic books, your bottled water, and your smartphone just to name a few. That means when you leave the house, odds are you have to schlep a backpack everywhere, or the pockets of your pants are all puffy, heavy, and saggy. What you need is a better way to carry all of your gear.

ThinkGeek has teamed up with the geek clothing purveyors Scottevest to build a jacket that has a bunch of pockets called the Tropiformer. To quantify the technical term “a bunch of pockets” more precisely, the jacket specifically has 22 pockets. It doesn’t really look like it has 22 pockets from the outside, but it does. Among those plentiful pockets is a big pocket sized specifically for your tablet. It also has a pocket inside the left-hand flap with a clear material over the top so you to operate your smartphone without having to take it out. Handy, indeed.

The jacket comes in four different colors including blue, red, gray, and cement, and is made from a lightweight, water-resistant fabric. The sleeves are held on with magnets so you can rip them off easily during your Hulk fantasies, or if you get too hot. Check out the video below to see more jacket-of-many-pockets action.

You can order the Tropiformer jacket right now for $149.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek.
