Scottevest Vest

Posted Oct 31 2011 12:00pm

I’ve had the Scottevest T-shirts for a while, and they are fabulous for hiding an insulin pump and even a phone or two.

I’m going to Portland, Oregon for the Grace Hopper Women in Computing Conference next week, and I have been wanting a Scottevest vest I could actually wear for a while.  I own a woman’s size vest, but can’t wear it, as it is too small.

I ordered a Men’s 2x, and it fits my chest fine, but a bit tight in the hips.  Can wear it open though, and can wear it hiked up an inch zipped.

I have it pretty much loaded with everything I would carry in a go-bag. 

  • Meter, lancing device, and strips.  Using a Accu-check lancing device helps, because 6 lancing devices come in a single cartridge.
  • Two infusion sets and cartridges.
  • Insulin and rewetting drops
  • Money and wallet
  • 2 Zune HD Players (may leave them home)
  • Headphones laced into headphone management system
  • Kindle
  • Extra batteries for the phone

It weighs slightly less than my go-bag, since it is made of nylon fabric but I’ve worn it on three different excursions now, and I find wearing it is easier than carrying a bag.  Added bonus, it eliminates a bag.

I am planning on taking a small carry on bag with extra supplies in it.  My CPAP and it’s emergency battery.  I hope to be able to sleep on the planes since I’ll be traveling quite a while.
