I will also chime in, I am a business traveller, with some leisure travel thrown in, and I will not fly without my ScottEvest. It removes the need to take a purse and frees my hands for luggage, or shopping, or what have you. Prior to using my ScottEvest I used to struggle with stuffing my personal items into my laptop bag, and was almost always forced to check luggage because I still needed my purse. Now, I can carry everything onto the plane easily. Added bonus: the extra layer the vest provides is great if you are always cold (which I am) and allows you to pack/stow your heavier coats/jackets. If I am going straight to a client’s office from the airport, and the vest is too casual for that venue, I transfer vital items to my laptop bag and stuff the vest into my suitcase or leave it in the car. I’ve had no issues with laundering or pressing it if the occasional wrinkle does not hang out. I have been using and wearing a Ladies Black vest for three years. Quality product.

I love the pockets and the design, but the fabric does not clean up well. I had it four days and dripped a couple drops of shawarma, blotted it up and wiped it with water and the stain spread from a few drops to a six inch blotch. Multiple hand wash and a machine wash did not make a dent in the spot. Again, I love the look and design, but the high-tech fabric is a bust.

I am going to pull the sexist card here. Scotts vest for women??? Why did you not model that? 😉

In reply to Randal L. Schwartz. Yup, I'm with you Randal. From what I can tell, it seems like most of their customers feel the same way! Thanks for stopping by to check out the review.

I’ve been a happy SeV customer for years. I travel 48 weeks out of the year, and having lots of pockets as I get on the various planes, trains, and shuttles has been very advantageous. I use the Revolution Jacket as my primary coat… with the sleeves off, it’s comfortable even on the plane at 70 degrees, but can work in rain and cold (down to 40 or so) with the sleeves on. I also carry the Transformer jacket as my lightweight vest (“man purse”, yeah) with my array of gadgets for my iPhone.

Good thing you grabbed it. I almost didn’t get mine either. I was pleasantly surprised – especially by how well it fits.

When you going to Peru! So jealous!

I almost didn’t get one at TBEX because I figured I wouldn’t ever wear it. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how it looks on — it’s actually quite fashionable! I’m looking forward to actually using it on my trip to Peru in a couple months. Ladies, I’m telling you, it’s not just for the men. Even the stylish female traveler can rock the ScotteVest.

Nice write-up, Matt!
