Best Travel Vest for Men - 26 Hidden Pockets - Water Repellent for Travel & More

This is an excellent product. I just used it for a one-week trip to Morocco, which included lots of settings ranging from long flights, desert hiking, camels/motorcycles, crowded marketplaces, and a couple nice meals. I wore this throughout. The vest is very well-made, comfortable, looks good, and was extremely useful for having misc. items tucked away but readily accessible (behind zippers). It seemed secure, kept my pants pockets essentially empty, and left my small pacsafe waist/sling pack free to just carry a couple larger things, uncluttered (mainly just a camera). Lots of options for what to put where based on risk sensitivity, how frequently on-hand it would be needed, etc. I don’t write reviews but I felt strongly that this vest deserved one. A key point for me was that this vest plus a waist pack allowed me to forego a backpack, which meant far less weight on my back/shoulders and therefore less fatigue and back pain overall. A waist pack alone could not have replaced the backpack.

Nicely made vest. In 2022 I had purchased a Aye Gear 26 pocket V26 Vest for $30.00 less (currently unavailable on Amazon). It hasn't let me down and my vest at times weighed more than my carry on which is usually overweight as well. (Shhhh... Don't tell the airlines) The zippers were my concern with repeated use because they seemed less durable. The material was light as well which was fine with me and it has held up nicely. I got an XXL size because it was made in China who seems to like to make clothes smaller than western sizes. It fit fine with what I don't load it up with, meaning I could zip it up while empty, but loaded, no way. So, I decided on this ScottEVest Best Travel Vest for Men - 26 Hidden Pockets, XXL, and also made in China (they seem to make everything). The zippers are a better quality and there appears to be more usable pockets than my other vest. I haven't tried it on a trip yet having just received it. Only three points of criticism from my point of view: Both vests have pockets to be able to use wired ear phones. Why? Who uses those these days? I've been using ear buds for years now. Another factor is the ScottEVest is slightly heavier when empty. Maybe that's why the model is wearing a long sleeved t-shirt in the photos. I live and work in a hot climate and I know this is going to make me sweat. Even the other vest made me sweat the last trip and I had just a t-shirt on under it. Lastly, I'm glad I got the XXL ScottEVest , but I wish it was just a bit bigger. It's not a true XXL. I don't mind it being loose because it allows room to breath when loaded. I'm not into form fitting garments. It is however a bit bigger that my older vest, so the next trip will tell all. I do recommend this vest so far, but remember, size up at least to the next size if you plan on carrying as much as I do. 19 AUGUST 2025 Update: I finally got to try this on two international trips this year. It worked out amazingly. Plenty of pockets for my needs and I stuffed it as usual with room to spare. As I mentioned previously, it was almost as heavy as my carry-on so you have the ability to carry your essential items and any valuables you don't want to check-in with your luggage. I like that the RFID pocket was big enough for my leather passport wallet and that the zipper is colored red so it's easily identifiable. One thing to mention is because there are so many pockets, at times I forgot which pocket an item I was looking for was in. It's a lot of pockets to go through especially when you're tired while traveling. I'm glad I went up one size because it did benefit my needs. I did sweat through my t-shirt as I mentioned previously would happen but between the environment and my vest load that was to be expected. I just left it unzipped to vent as much as I could. Overall a great vest and I recommend it still especially because of the easy of passing through airport security. No loose items in the bin for peace of mind when traveling through a busy airport screening area. Just take it off and put it in a bin.

I've had other Scott eVests and jackets and loved them. After losing weight, I invested in this one and, again, I love it. It's a perfect fit. The pockets are plentiful and the big one will hold my MacBook Air! It makes traveling so much easier since you're allowed two carry-ons and a vest isn't considered that. I put my carry-on case overhead and once we're "wheels up," I'll pull the electronics, cords, snacks, etc. out of my vest. It's comfortable, snug without being tight. The zippers work smoothly. And it'll stand up to some light weather (I wouldn't be out in heavy rain in just a vest.) So yeah! I'm a fan of the Scott eVest line. Good stuff and I'm a return customer. Amazon has it for the same price as their website. For me, that's a plus because if I need to do a return, it's through Amazon. Luckily, I'm not doing a return! I'm keeping this one and might get another!

This vest has far more pockets than I will ever use. Some of them I don't even think I've found yet! Some of the pockets are so small, I wonder if they would even contain an Apple Air Tag, while at least two are large enough to contain a full-size iPad Pro, and still get the zipper closed. However, I cannot imagine actually putting a tablet into either of those pockets, because then I could not sit down without fear of damaging the tablet. Just because it will fit in those pockets doesn't mean it's a good place to carry them. I plan on wearing this vest on a cruise this summer, just because of all the pockets; therefore, I have already worn it quite a bit from home, while the weather permitted. It seems fairly comfortable, and of a good weight - VERY windproof, and not too heavy for warmer weather. I had to remember that in the movies of the old West, the men in those movies wore long-sleeved shirts AND a vest, and their weather often had to be in three digits (F). So I guess I can wear it on a summer trip. My biggest complaint with this vest is that it's about 4" too long, in that it gets in the way of me getting to my pants pockets. This is truly only a minor aggravation, as it's fairly easy to work around it. Overall, the quality of the fabrics and the workmanship seems excellent so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing how well it works for me on the long trip.

Es un producto altamente util y recomendable para todo tipo de viajes, en verdad lo recomiendo es el segundo que compro . No se van a arrepentir la calidad es excelente.
