I saw the HoodiePillow Pillowcase pitched on ABC's Shark Tank last Friday and thought the idea of a hood built into a pillow was a pretty silly idea. I still do. But the same company has another product that isn't so silly and one that I would even use. It's their Travel HoodiePillow. It's a [...]

Triple Aught Design aka TAD recently offered to send me one of their Women's Artemis Hoodies for review. I happily accepted because I've been wanting to try something made from Merino wool for quite a while. This particular jacket takes its name from the fearless female hunter of Greek mythology who used her bow and [...]

When my daughter was learning to tie her own shoes, we found some stretchy shoe laces that made it a bit easier for her to get her shoes on her feet without her having to loosen/tighten her laces, too.  The older lady who lived next door wanted some of those laces so she could get [...]

Another day, another awesome Star Wars item.  Today's offering is a hooded, 100% polyester robe that suspiciously resembles everyone's favorite Wookie.  Although I'm fairly sure it's not a licensed LucasFilms (Disney?) product, it looks pretty accurate, complete with Chewie's bandolier stitched across the chest (front AND back) and large pocket to mimic Chewie's pouch.  A [...]

The first official day of Winter is still more than a week away, but sub 30 degree temps are already here in Southern Indiana. When it gets colder than 50 degrees, this gadgeteer breaks out her gloves to combat cold hands. I have a lot of different pairs of gloves in all sorts of colors and [...]

Your kids won't be losing their earbuds with the HoodieBuddie jacket in kids sizes because they won't need earbuds.  These jackets use HB3 technology to build audio technology directly in.  There's a 3.5mm plug in a zipper pocket to plug in an MP3 player or phone and speakers in the hoodie.  Your kid can hear [...]

The Col. Littleton No. 11 Survival Belt is a belt that any MacGyver wannabe would appreciate. First of all, it's a regular belt made in the Col. Littleton Workshop (Lynnville, TN) of native American steer hide with solid brass hardware. The belt has hooks that adjust to fit waists sizes 34-48. In addition to holding [...]

I'm not a man and don't wear neck ties, so I don't know how much suffering has been going on out there as far as ties that flap in the wind or hang haphazardly on your chest. I'm sure it's a tragic condition and for that fact I'm going to offer you the Magnetie solution. [...]

Pants?  On a gadget review site?  Well, how else are you going to carry all your toys?  Today let's look at a pair of tricky trousers, the Fire Hose Work Pants from the Duluth Trading Co. A little background:  I wear "cargo" or "tactical" style pants every day.  I'm currently a Fire Prevention Officer and EMT, [...]

I'm happy to see that SCOTTeVEST continues to expand their product line to include more women's items. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to review 2 of their jackets and love them both and can't wait for the weather to get cooler so I can start wearing them again. See links to those two [...]

Julie loves her SCOTTEVEST products, but they're aimed at the Gadgeteer in all of us, with pockets for all your electronic gadgets.  What if you're one of those minimalist travellers or need to "beat" those airline-imposed carry on luggage limits?  The Stuffa Jacket might be the solution.  With 12 compartments for stuffing in your long weekend's [...]

Any traveller will know the dilemma of balancing the right amount of clothes with the additional weight and space required to carry those clothes.  When bushwalking you're extremely limited with how much you can carry on your back, when motorcycle touring you're constrained by how much you can fit into a tail bag or pack.  [...]

Although it's the middle of May here in Indiana, we are still having a few 40 degree mornings. Instead of dragging out my winter coat, I've been enjoying the comfort and gadget storage of the SCOTTEVEST Lola Jacket. Wearing this jacket allows me to hide all my gear in the jacket and leave my shoulder bag [...]

It's been several years since we featured a SCOTTEVEST product here on The Gadgeteer and I'm happy to say that in the time since we last took a look at their tech clothing, they've added some women's garments to their line up. I've been excited to try them out, so they sent me their Chloe [...]

The winter has arrived and temperatures are dropping across the northern hemisphere. For those of us that live in a cold climate and love our gadgets that means having to take off our gloves to use our touch screen devices, leaving our precious digits exposed to the elements, or does it? A company, by the [...]

The Pillow Tie might look like a normal silk style neck tie, but it hides an inflatable cushion inside. Just pop open the valve, give it a few puffs of air and you're all set to grab some shut eye while you're supposed to be doing those year end budget reports. Pillow Ties are available [...]
