The Scott Jordan Signature System - A First Look

There is something about a SCOTTEVEST that just exudes a special character along with an amazingly comfortable feeling as you wear it.

sss

I have been a SCOTTEVEST person ever since I got my first vest years ago and over the years I have had the opportunity to review a myriad of products that have followed in the SCOTTEVEST tradition of high quality, comfort and versatility. After opening and seeing the  NEW Scott Jordan Signature System, it is possibly the best jacket that SCOTTEVEST has produced. 

In this first of two "first look" videos, I share with you my experience as I open the NEW Scott Jordan Signature System. Quite simply, it is absolutely amazing! In the second of this two part series,  I share my experience with the NEW Fleece 5.0 which serves as the “undergarment” when worn with the NEW Quantum jacket.  My first impression as I looked at, felt and tried on the Fleece was “WOW"!  It had an extraordinary feel, incredible comfort and typical of all SeV products, quality throughout.

Need a spare part for your device?

cnn

Sometimes you run into the best tips by perusing the net.  Take today for example, I jumped over to Mobile Jaw and saw a post on Mike's site about looking for spare parts for your device.  It just so happens that I snapped the little plastic clip that holds the cover on the back of my 8525 and needed a replacement cover.  Mike recommends going over to Cellular Nationwide Network - CNN for short.

These guys have parts for a huge number of devices including Windows Mobile devices, Blackberry’s, iPhones, and even those basic cell phones that the carrier gives away for free. hey, you can even get parts for your Zune, iPod, xbox 360, Playstation, and Wii ... pretty cool!

So this might well be a site you should bookmark just in case you need that hard to get part and if you don't want to pay those high prices you would have by sending your unit back to the manufacturer for repair.

Thanks Mike for the tip!
