Couldn't decide if this should go in the packing forum or General Europe. Since it's the day it is...I picked General Europe.
With this piece of clothing you could take 1 and wear 1 and only have to pack in a ziplock bag, hahaha!! I'm sure it will sink wash and dry overnight. Bib/cape would be very helpful when you have too many tastes at a wine tasting in Tuscany or the Loire Valley.
Oh Pam... that is hilarious!!
But...but...
LOL. I'd be a sight in that!
hahaha, Kathy!
Maybe they will bring it out in a different color so you can mix and match segments. That green is not my color either!
Now if it only came with a lot of hidden pockets.
Oh I love it.
I'd really prefer the zips to be in matching green rather than contrasting black.
I'm rather surprised after we had such discussions about European toilet facilities (to say nothing of the hiking in the woods) I'm surprised that there are no "strategically" located zippers.....
I'm surprised that there are no "strategically" located zippers.....
Ooh. A "Squat Toilet Model"?
Pam, I look just ghastly in bright green.
Good one, Pam. I wonder if the woman’s version comes on hot pink?
You guys need to watch the video; it comes in a wide array of colors!. And there's a strategically located zipper (for males). I think I've found the first item for my Christmas list!
Edgar, they say the pockets are moveable so maybe you can just move them to the inside?
I love the idea of a squat suit!
I'm thinking bright pink alternated with the green - pink next to your face of course!
LMAO! That was great Pam!
Thanks, Pam, that was great!
First, I was picturing my husband wearing this...Then I was thinking about the big guy on another thread that's trying to pack lighter... then I got to the bottom of the article. Oh well...
Thanks for sharing, Pam!
That green is not my color either!
That green is nobody's color - except for Kermit, or unless you're trying to camouflage yourself on an algae covered pond.
Haha! Okay, this isn't real, right? April Fool's???
I wonder how many people are trying to buy it right now... If it had more pockets, (movable or not), my own guy would be clicking "Buy it Now" as fast as he could.
Edit to add: I just showed it too him. I'm embarrassed (well, not really) to share his reaction.
My favorite feature if the ZipAll is this:
Removable hood with ethically sourced, recycled, biodegradable, genuine faux jackalope fur
Haven't laughed so hard in quite a while. Thanks, Pam, for making my day.
NOt sure what was funnier today, Nigel's 3rd class trains in Italy, or this from REI. Thanks for sharing!
Laurel, I'm sure the ZipAll suit will be excellent for goat/sheep/pig wrangling on Nigel's newest suggested rail coaches. It doesn't say if it is waterproof, though....
If the REI ZipAll is not readily available, you can try a DIY approach. Just takes a little tailoring skills.
Start with one of those Scottevest RFID Travel Vest (26 pockets with RFID blocking). Sew on upper sleeves plus lower sleeves. You will then have an option of vest only, short sleeve or long sleeve jacket.
For those willing to forego RFID protection, start with a SCOTTeVEST Jacket for Men (25 pockets) with removable sleeve. You can add a short sleeve option by adding above the elbow zippers.
Connect vest/jacket hem with zippers to Pick-Pocket Proof Convertible Travel Pants (11 Total multi-secure pockets: 5 triple secure & 6 double secure). Those wishing a knicker pant option can add calf zippers.
The advantage of zipping together a Scottevest and Pick-Pocket Proof Convertible is the availability of tourist camouflage colors of olive greens and khaki.
Dying! Loved this. REI nailed April Fools. Thanks!
I am ordering 2 for my Camino. Pretty sure everyone will be jealous.
