Helpful video, I used a vest during the camino and when traveling, to keep my passport and wallet safe, knowing it was always secure and in the same place. The blue vest in the link looks good.

Thanks so much! We're loving all the options to wear these.

Youz guyz are too much! Thanks for the humor infused review. I’ve thought about getting one of these vests, but can’t seem to get off the fence and do it. Ni modo. I like having a lot of pockets, but I have to be really consistent about what I put in which pocket or I go thru that whole “feeling around for whatever I’m looking for, unzip a pocket, nope, not there, zip it up, repeat ad nauseam” process. Again, thanks for your take on it and the fun!

Oh, I was able to get the ladies "QUEST vest half price on April fools day. I had bought a jacket, and it was not large enough for me, when I loaded it up. So I used this opportunity to get a larger size. It had pockets on the outside of the vest, in addition to the handwarmer pockets. It was great for airline, train, taxi, and tourist travel! Great review!

Love your videos. I bought a ScotteVest in 2012 for a trip to Europe and I still use it, still looks good. Mine had a pocket for an iPod and one for an 🆔, at the time those pockets had a plastic that eventually cracked. I don’t think they make them like that anymore, it looks like they now use a mesh. But other than that , 12 years later is still going strong, so it’s worth every penny and it still has plenty “pockets”.

@theslowtravellife. Sounds like a brilliant idea to get what you really need! So do you just buy a regular vest/jacket and add pockets to the inside only or outside too. Do you have a tutorial - I would love to learn more. I’m going to be spending a week in Kenya at an orphanage helping out then I’ll also do a safari. My max airline weight it 7kg for ALL bags…hence looking at alternative. Appreciate your advice/sewing expertise

@@sem-w7329 The easiest way would be to buy flat zippered bags (canvas is strong), or even flat pencil cases and trim then to size and sew the sides back up. I don't have a tutorial but what I do is work out what item of clothing needs an inside or outside zipper and attach the ready made zipper bag to the clothing. You could even hand stitch this if you didn't want any stitching showing ( if its an unlined piece of clothing.) I've attached these zippered bags to the inside of my puffer vest, bra tops, leggings, tops and even my backpack I added more storage. I'm also restricted to 7kg and want as many items in my pockets as possible.

Great vest. Good for security in the big cities ( I don’t like keeping my wallet/phone in my back pockets). But I travel light and try to keep those things in the inside pockets of my jackets/coats. Looks casual. ? Any plans to do the Camino Ingles? It’s such a short journey and good content. Would love to see that.

Lainey, how tall are you and what size is your vest? Would you recommend getting a size S if you normally wear a small?

@DaysWeSpend

15 күн бұрын

I'm 5'1" and wearing a size small. If you want more space for stuff, you can size up. Or if you have a larger bust size. I'm fairly petite, so the small works great for me.

I was looking at these lots of years ago, but I just don't travel nearly enough to justify the cost. If I ever get to retire to Spain and have more ability to travel around Europe, I may reconsider. What do you do when you're going through security with all of your electronics in your pockets? Do you just put the full vest in a bin, or do you have to empty all the pockets first?

@DaysWeSpend

16 күн бұрын

Totally get that sentiment. For security, we put the full vest in a bin. It's way easier than emptying the pockets.

I have loved ScotteVest since 2010 and washed it all the time. Still going strong. Only broke on the front zipper and maybe washed and put in the dryer.. the chest pocket just ripped. Other than that.. still go on❤️

I have the SCOTTeVEST windbreaker and it was sooooo worth it. When you're worried about weight limits, problem solved. It has a hoodie, a pick pocket nightmare 🎉, and let's me be hands free with or without a back pack.

Oooh, the windbreaker sounds great!

I’m a huge fan of ScottEVest. I really dislike carrying a purse, I wear their Cargaux pants or vests as every day wear, not just when traveling. It becomes a habit so I always knows where I pack my edc items. I do agree that they have gotten overpriced in the past few years, but I’ve had my vest since 2016 and it’s held up very well. Get on their mailing list and watch for sales. It’s also advisable to upsize the vest.

How about when you go through airport security? Do you have to empty everything out of all those bazillion pockets?
