Scottevest Jeremy Branham airportI’ve spent years working in information technology and have a degree in accounting. Despite that, I am not a big gadget or travel gear junkie. I just got my first smart phone 3 months ago after using the same out of date cell phone for nearly 8 years. However, I received a free Scottevest when I went to a travel conference in June. And with my travels for the College Football Travel Tour this Fall, this is the perfect time to test it out.

What is Scottevest?

The Scottevest travel vest is a comfortable, fashionable vest created by Scott Jordan as a way to carry gadgets and gear while traveling. The vest comes in a variety of colors and has numerous pockets on the chest, front, inside, and back to carry all sorts of travel gadgets. Zippers and magnets keep everything secure and allows easy transport through airports, cities, and wherever your travels take you.

The question of "which coat to pack" plagues both seasoned and novice travelers alike.  It seems almost impossible to find a jacket that is the right weight, not too bulky, versatile, and fashionable all at the same time.  However, ScotteVest is tackling the problem head on.  ScotteVest has a full line of travel friendly coats and jackets.  Its products travel light and are figure flattering.  Further, most jackets come with 14+ pockets.  There are pockets secure enough to carry your passport, and others large enough to store a full iPad.  WeareverYouGo's favorite jacket for fall from the ScotteVest line is the Molly Jacket.



The Molly Jacket is not only stylish, but also comes in a number of colors including antique and onyx.  The jacket features 17 pockets.  It is water resistant and also suitable for a wide range of climates.

The Scottevest Chloe Hoodie is a lightweight and stylish multi-pocketed hooded jacket, designed for women. The multiple pockets are capable of holding many items, freeing the wearer to leave her purse at home. The $90 price may be a bit high, however the functionality and innovative design may justify the cost.

Ed Walsh shares an honest review of Scott's favorites, the Convertible Travel Pants! See it here:

Review: Scottevest convertible travel pants

On a recent trip to Philadelphia, I put the SeV Convertible Travel Pants by the Scottevest company to the test.

When I travel, I look for clothes that are lightweight and don’t take up much room in my luggage. Also, I tend to bring dark-colored clothes so the stains won’t show, at least not as much. Who wants to do laundry on a trip? I also look for clothes that are versatile and clothes that are neither too casual nor too dressy. Plus, it’s nice to have a lot of pockets, particularly pockets that make it more difficult for pickpockets. The pickpockets are not so much a problem in this country, but it is a big problem in many cities in Europe.

The SeV Convertible Travel Pants passed with flying colors on my Philly trip.

Gadling Gear Review: Scottevest Transformer Jacket

by Team  Blogs  Gadling  Blogs  08.06.2012 13:20
Safely and securely carrying all of our gadgets while traveling can be a real chore. Many of us now hit the road with a smartphone, digital camera, tablet, headphones and more. While each of those tech toys has made travel more enjoyable, it isn't always easy to keep them well-organized and easy to access. Scottevest is a company that has built an extensive catalog of travel apparel designed to do just that. Their line of clothing is specifically built to keep all of our favorite gadgets close at hand while minimizing bulk. The new SeV Transformer Jacket delivers all of that plus a few unexpected surprises.

SCOTTEVEST Transformer Review: A Techie Jacket of Holding

Review Info:

Innovations in mobile gadgets have had a revolutionary effect on the way people work, communicate, navigate, and entertain themselves.  No surprise there.  The downside of living in the future is that we wind up with a number of gadgets to keep track of everywhere we go.  A backpack or shoulder bag is almost a necessity for the connected person on the go.  All those gadgets have also greatly improved the experience of air travel.  Games, ebooks, videos, and music are all readily available on a plane, but the rise of portable electronic functionality has paralleled the increase of inconvenience in the air travel at the security line and the check-in counter.

SCOTTEVEST takes solid aim at both of these problem areas and scores a big hit with their new jacket/vest combination, the Transformer.  A light windbreaker with removable sleeves and more hidden pockets and zippers than one would ever imagine, this one article of clothing can do the work of an entire bag in many cases, and it does so while obscuring the bulk of all the technological wizardry concealed within.

Julie shares how she "Hikes Without the Bulk With the SCOTTeVEST"! Check it out:

Hike Without the Bulk With the SCOTTeVEST

Hiking with Scottevest

Hiking with SCOTTeVEST

I don’t like bulk. I don’t like extra weight when I am trekking up a steep hill. It just slows me down and makes the hike more difficult on my cardio system.

Hiking is one of my favorite outdoor activities and living in Colorado makes it a perfect match. Often times, when I go on a day hike, I don’t want to carry a big ol’ backpack. I just want to bring some basics: my camera, water, car keys, a map, chapstick, snacks, and sometimes my cell phone. Without the backpack, this gets to be bulky stuffing it into my fleece pockets.

Finally, I found one of the coolest articles of clothing to reduce the bulk. It is more than a piece of clothing. The Scottevest is like a highly engineered, practical organizer – with sleeves. And seventeen pockets. Yep, seventeen.

I wore this vest when I was in Crested Butte this summer and I loved the freedom it gave me to bounce up the trail. Strangely, I did get the sense I forgot something. I got over that once I did an inventory check.

The Technical and Background Stuff

What is the SCOTTeVEST?

This Technology Enabled Clothing® is described as a “convergence of fashion and technology.” The engineered, no bulge pocket design distributes the weight evenly to create a comfortable experience. Without the bulk. The patented Personal Area Network (PAN) allows for tangle-free wires for your MP3 player of choice.

The original vest was just the start of the owner’s idea to help travelers, adventurers, and gadget-lovers – “Scott’s Electronics Vest” – that led to the current SCOTTeVEST clothing line that includes the same technology and practical uses.

What I Liked About the Scottevest

No bulky pockets. Once I put everything I needed for the hike in my pockets, I was surprised how little bulk and weight there was. This is why I felt like I was forgetting something.

Everything was easily accesible with this vest. Imagine rummaging through your backpack or non-Scottevest pockets feeling around for your small tube of chapstick that is lost among your keys, your camera, and your snacks.

No bulky cotton. The vest itself was lightweight and breathable, which made it perfect in the middle of the hottest summer on record. For colder days, you can find plenty of other SCOTTeVEST options.

Pockets for larger items.  While I didn’t bring my tablet or Kindle along on this day hike, the pockets designed for these items make it great for traveling to the airport. Just slip off the vest and breeze through security.

Pockets for smaller items. Aside from the pockets for large items, there were tiny pockets for things like chapstick, change, your ID, or your camera memory card. The pocket for your sunglasses includes a soft cleaning cloth. Having a secret hidden pocket made me feel a little spy-like.

Teflon-treated.  Since I can be clumsy at times, I like that this vest is stain-resistant. It also helps if your trail mix or chocolate granola bars start to melt. This treatment also makes this vest resistant to water.

Scottevest Women’s Travel Vest


By Amy

scottevestAs a traveling woman who hates carrying a purse, I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of Scottevest clothing until now. With vests, jackets, shirts, pants, and even a dress in their line-up of travel wear, the Scottevest line is designed to keep your hands free and your pack light with numerous useful pockets in each item of clothing.

The travel vest (available in both men’s and women’s cut) is designed for photographers, journalists, and any other serious travelers who find they have gear to carry but need their hands free. When I first saw the vest, I was floored: it has 17 pockets (yes, 17…enough to warrant a ‘pocket map’ to orient oneself to them all!). But here’s the amazing part:  it does not look like a vest with 17 pockets. They’re so well-designed and strategically placed that the vest appears sleek and lightweight.

I turned the vest inside and out, checking out all the pocket options (some I didn’t even understand how to use). The fabric is lightweight poly, Teflon treated to be stain and water resistant, and its thin enough that I’ve been completely comfortable wearing it in summer. The 17 pockets can hold whatever you like, but certain ones are designed for certain objects (and when worn with the weight of them in the appropriate pockets, the vest is evenly weighted…it’s amazing). In a nutshell, the vest can hold a phone, camera, water bottle, iPad, wallet, travel documents, passport, loose change, keys, and more at once.

pocket map ScottevestI tried out the women’s travel vest on several (very different) trips, taking it with me to a mountain lodge where I did a lot of hiking, a family trip to Canada where I needed to pack a lot of kid-friendly items like snacks, tissues, and sunscreen, and through airport security on a flight home from Colorado. I have not needed to fill every pocket up yet (I just never need all those things at once), but here’s how the travel vest fared for me:

For use on shorter hikes and day trips, the vest is a great solution when you have too much stuff to carry in traditional pockets (especially in summer, when you’re lacking a jacket) but not enough stuff to need a backpack. For a recent hike, I carried a camera, phone, keys, and water bottle in the travel vest, and felt comfortable and able to move easily (a worry of mine).

During our multi-day trip to Canada, I wore the vest while city touring and heading out on day excursions (again, hiking, and kayaking). I carried the extra supplies I needed with kids (the above-mentioned, plus extra sunglasses, other people’s cameras, etc). I liked how the vest looked (bear in mind, I’m no fashionista, but I don’t like looking like a dork, either) and I was never too hot.

Wearing the vest through airport security at Denver International, I agree with Scottevest’s claim that this vest can be used as an ‘extra’ carry-on. I was able to keep my iPad, phone, wallet, and passport in the vest and dump the whole thing onto the conveyer belt. Did I have room for these items in my traditional carry-on? Yes, so using the Scottevest was overkill on this solo trip. However, I’ll definitely put it to use while traveling by air with the whole family, when space is at a premium. Note: Some Scottevest products do have magnetic closures, which I imagine would cause problems through security (and when storing magnetized key cards).

scottevest

The Scottevest washes easily (a regular cycle is fine…just be sure to take everything out of the pockets!) and packs quite small. A few other details I appreciate: the iPod and earbud system to easily thread your cord through the vest, and the large back pocket (this one is designed for the iPad, but you really only want to use it for that purpose if you’re not sitting down a lot). The vest is lined with mesh along the back so create some air flow. The key pocket includes a key fob, and the sunglasses pocket includes a lens cloth that can double for screens and camera lenses. Bottom line? The travel vest is an incredibly well-thought out product. Though it won’t work for every conceivable use (sometimes you definitely need a bag or pack), for the right trip, it would be a lifesaver.

The travel vest comes in hunter green, black, red, or gray in the women’s version. I have gray, and it’s a nice neutral color. Pick up a Scottevest at their website for $125 (many other styles are on offer in a range of prices) or look for one at Amazon for the same price.

"Another sponsor who gets the value of travel bloggers, Scottevest, doled out to all the attendees a lightweight, breathable travel vest designed with 22 pockets allowing for you to take everything with you without the need of a heavy carry along bag. I love that  concept, “give and you shall receive,” for what travel writer wouldn’t want to write about a free vest that they received that has so many pockets it eliminates the need to carry an extra bag while traveling?"-
