Never let it be said that you are too old for new gaming experiences. I have been gaming for about 43 years now and I genuinely still love it, even though I will be the first to admit the hurtling pace of the industry and the dedication needed to keep up with it, does leave me trailing a bit. However, at the tender age of 48, I’ve just had my first experience of a haptic gaming vest.
Now, if you are like me, you may have no idea what that is at all. So as I unboxed the rather combative looking vest, it was very much a journey of discovery. The first impressions from the unboxing were great, it’s clearly a really high-quality product that looks the part with a very robust looking mesh material that is lightweight and fully adjustable.
I had half expected a struggle to get this on, because in all honestly my belly is having some expansion issues, luckily it was actually a very comfortable fit and I didn’t really know I was wearing it. My wife knew though, she took pictures, which I refuse to share, and she mocked me for looking like I was off to play paintball or pretend I was in the army. The vest is actually pretty subtle, despite her derision.
It's low key, really comfortable, and never looks 'too much'. Of course, a nicely designed vest really means nothing, because that’s only a small part of the package, after all, I’m not wearing this to look good as I go down to the shops. The technology is what we are here for, and it has a lot of it packed onto the vest.
