‘Quintessential’ travel vest

The reader’s letter titled “Safeguard Your Wallet” (Sept. ’07, pg. 89) prompts me to write a note I have put off for many years.

Tilley Endurables (3176 Abbott Rd., Building A, Orchard Park, NY 14127; 800/363-8737, www.tilley.com) makes, as far as I am concerned, the quintessential travel vest designed for storage and carrying convenience as well as safety.

I use the two top pockets, for example, for my dark glasses and reading glasses, eliminating the need to pack cases. Velcro® and zippers make the pockets totally safe.

A call to Tilley Endurables will get you lovely catalogs in perpetuity!
