They are expensive, but we’ll worth it. I’ve been using my Scottevest jacket with removable sleeves for years.

I like that the lightweight vest has no “collar”. Makes it easier to layer.

Absolutely. It’s perfect for layering. Big fan.

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!

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”.

Thanks so much! That's amazing that your vest is going strong 12 years later!

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!

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.

I hope you also review luggages and backpacks and storages on those backpacks - because as a Filipino who travels mainly southeast asia - i always get the feeling I am being shortened by the 7 kg since the luggage is already 2.5-3 kg already. Anyway, you are doing a great review! please keep it up!

@DaysWeSpend 5 күн бұрын

Thanks so much! We've had issues with the backpack thing, too. Totally understand the frustrated feeling about 7 kg. We like the Tortuga backpacks. They just released a lighter version.

Count me in for "Vestivus". The aluminum pole can definitely fit in the vest 🤣

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.

@DaysWeSpend Ай бұрын

Glad you like your vest, too! We want to walk the Camino Ingles. Hopefully we'll get to it soon. :)

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.

@DaysWeSpend Ай бұрын

Oooh, the windbreaker sounds great!

They are also great for traveling on cheap airlines where only 1 personal item is free. It holds all the extras and things you need on the airplane.

@DaysWeSpend Ай бұрын

exactly!

@Razialia Ай бұрын

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 Ай 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.

@musingwithreba9667 2 ай бұрын

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 Ай бұрын

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

@Jgfweb Ай бұрын

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.

@DaysWeSpend Ай бұрын

Yeah, they're pretty great. We might have to check out the Cargaux pants. Pockets everywhere!

@Jgfweb Ай бұрын

@@DaysWeSpend Pro tip: empty the pants pockets before security! Afterwards, redistribute items wherever.

@FBGbarge Ай бұрын

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

@DaysWeSpend Ай бұрын

We take the whole vest off and but it in a bin. So easy.

@@DaysWeSpend you guys should’ve included the famous Saturday Night Live skit where these two druggies sell stuff, and all their stuff serves one purpose. Customers come in and ask, “what’s that for?” “You put your weed in it”. And they say “weeeed” with a stoner elongation.
