    An excellent travel vest

    I have had many vests but this ScotteVest is the perfect lightweight travel vest with secure pockets and great water resistance. I've decided to order 2 more. And NOT just because my wife says they look good on me. 😉

    Featherweight vest - Great product but not right for me.

    This review is suspect because I haven't taken the vest on the road. Let me first say that I think the vest is well made and I really like the light weight. But I have two problems.

    First, I didn't think hard enough about how I wanted to use the vest. I want it to substitute for a personal carryon item when flying . The goal is to get around weight restrictions imposed by some airlines. So I had planned to really load up the vest. If I had used the ScottE website Vest Selection Tool, I might have been guided to the Best Travel Vest, which I have now purchased and returned the Featherweight.

    The second problem is that the pocket design contributes to a bulky look. The left side bottom interior pocket does not descend to the bottom of the vest while the right side does. When the vest is loaded this makes the right side hang down farther. The exterior bottom pockets could be used to balance this somewhat but I like to have these pockets for my hands or random small objects.

    The bulky look to the bottom of the vest could be balanced by filling large interior upper pockets. The trouble is that these pockets descend to close to the bottom of the vest. So when large items are put in these pockets, they slide down and contribute to the bulky look at the bottom of the vest.

    For those who want a vest to better organize items that they might want access to while walking or flying, this vest would be ideal. It has enough pockets for that and the light weight would be…

    A great vest that delivers for travel and everyday wear

    I bought for an upcoming European trip. These vests were recommended by Rick Steves. After waffling over several SCOTTeVEST models I settled on the Featherweight as I’ll likely wear it most often in warmer weather. Some of the other reviews for the other models mention they can get too hot in temps above 70 or 80°F. Though my Europe trip is still in the future I’ve had the opportunity to wear it for 2 US trips in February and March. It performed exactly as I’d as hoped.

    I loved being able to take it off and run it through the TSA airport scanner with all my items intact. No need to pull tech items or lithium battery items out for inspection. Made getting through security a breeze. I was also able to fit some photography gear in the pockets which meant they didn’t need to be in my backpack. The benefit of that meant the open space in the pack pack could now be used for some items that usually had to be in a larger suitcase. Bottom line was my week of clothes and photo gear could fit in carry-on so was never out of my sight.

    With zipped pockets on the vest I knew everything was secure. Nothing could slip out accidentally. I have to admit there were a few times I had to check multiple pockets to find something. I knew it was safe in one of them but because I was still doing a bit of testing about which pocket was most convenient for different items I had to check a few pockets before finding the most recent “home” I was using during that outing.

    Overall I love the vest…

    Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! It’s great to hear how well the Featherweight Vest is working for your travels so far, and I love how you’ve optimized it for both airport security and photography gear. Your suggestions are incredibly insightful—especially the ideas for a contrasting lining, more flexible pocket configurations, and an improved water bottle strap. I’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to our design team!

    Wishing you a fantastic trip to Europe, and we hope your vest continues to be the perfect travel companion. Safe travels! ✈️😊

    Article weight

    I received a hoodie for Christmas. I haven't taken it off since. I adjust my undergarment for the temperature and have all my accessories with me all the time. The quality and comfort are superb. So much so, I just ordered a vest. I want to carry my dressing habits into the summer. Wear the vest daily and adjust my shirt for OAT. Herein lies my request: add the weight of the garment into the spec sheet. I live in Florida and being able to wear an additional layer of clothing though the summer is going to depend on the weight and ventilation capabilities. I can surmise the Featherweight is the lightest but I am considering the tradeoff of having more pockets. I can't make that decision without all the facts. Please consider my request. PS.. I've already ordered so your sale doesn't hinge on an answer. I just hope I made the right decision.

    It’s amazing to hear how much you love your SCOTTeVEST hoodie—wearing it nonstop is the best compliment! The quality, comfort, and convenience of having all your essentials with you really make a difference. We love that you’re bringing that same practicality into summer with your new vest! Hope it’s the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Happy adventures! 😊
