SCOTTeVEST Featherweight Vest for Women - 16 Hidden Pockets - Lightweight Water Repellent for Travel & More

I love all the pockets! My pen is handy, my credit cards and passport are protected, my phone is handy, and there are more pockets after that! Great for travel! It fits well and won't be too hot even in the summer.

Purchased a SCOTTeVEST Featherweight Vest for a trip to the South Pacific. Has 16 pockets. The “cement” color is a light gray-ish khaki color. Quite a neutral color. Fabric is polyester that has a soft/brushed texture. Quality of fabric, zippers, organization excellent. Have worn the vest on an outing to test it out…comfortable and not too warm. Is the company’s lightest weight vest. I’m 5’4” & weigh about 185. Purchased an XXL because I wanted a loose fit even after filling pockets. This ensures I can fully zip the vest in heavy-pickpocket tourist areas. Cost $174. Heavily researched travel vest companies & feel the light weight of this vest & organization are the best with SCOTTeVEST. On this trip, have total of seven legs involving four airlines (American, Quantas, Air NZ, Fiji Airways). Looking forward to using this vest to lessen stress at TSA areas & for luggage weight restrictions.

I love vests and splurged on this for travel. Pros - it is well made. It's lightweight, but added just enough warmth for a plane ride. It fit well enough and is attractive. Clearly, lots of pockets. The left side breast pocket was perfect for my phone, and I liked this feature the best. Cons. I don't like the RFID blocking pouch inside its pocket. It's awkward to get stuff in/out and the pouch/velcro add bulk. While the vest could replace my travel cross-body purse in terms of capacity, my x-body is much more functional for actually getting an ID or credit card out. The tablet pocket works but it makes the vest too heavy on that side unless you zip it up, but then you can't access any of the inside stuff. Overall, I didn't use the features very much. There's nothing wrong with the vest, but I don't think it's worth the money.

This was the second ScotteVest I bought. I have one in black and one in off-white. They are absolutely the best for traveling, and I have actually stopped carrying a purse on my daily travels. These are light weight so good for any weather. In winter I throw it on over a sweater and add a rain coat on top. Has plenty of pockets so I can stuff myself if I'm flying. If you stuff it, don't expect to look "slim" though. Though I wasn't uncomfortable at all when fully loaded. For daily use I carry my phone, wallet, keys, dog treats and poo bags, a mask, lip balm, pen, notepad, and a couple other small things. And I'm hands free, no purse to lose! In summer I just put it on over a blouse or t-shirt and have never been any hotter than I would have been without it. I don't wear skirts or dresses, but I don't see why this wouldn't look okay over an informal outfit. Anyway, my opinion.

I needed a pocket vest for travel. We're planning a trip in which a couple of the sightseeing spots won't even allow you to carry a purse. I originally bought a $50 biking vest in hopes that it would work. I'm 5'4" and weight 147, and since Amazon AI recommended an XL, that's what I bought. It was way too large, even when I loaded down the pockets, and I decided it didn't have quite enough pockets. So, I bit the bullet and ordered one of these in a size L. I'm not looking to carry a tablet, headphones, or any large bulky items so I bought my normal size. It fits and functions beautifully! I carry my money, which buy the way, will fit in the eyeglass pocket, my chapstick, my husband's glasses and medications, credit cards, kleenex, phone, and all the other little things that I usually carry in my small purse. With all of this in it, the vest still looks great on. Yesterday, someone gave me a piece of chocolate that I absent mindedly threw into a pocket. When I finally noticed it, right before our trip, it had melted....ugh. I turned the pocket inside out and hand washed it with a little foaming dish soap. The greasy mess washed right out and the vest dried fairly quickly. It does still have a faint smell of chocolate, but I was very impressed with the fabric. I also expected to get tired of wearing it but I didn't. While my body does run on the cooler side, the tempterature was 75 and I never got too hot in it. When I finally did take it off, I almost felt naked. LOL I will definately be using this alot more than I expected! I'm going shopping tomorrow and I am no longer carring a purse. I'm sure everyone will get tired of seeing me in my vest but it's so convenient, I don't care.

This is my second vest of this brand. You might want to size up since they seem to run small, especially if you load up the pockets. For travel it can’t be beat. No need to carry a purse or worry about pickpockets. Very well-made and designed vest.
