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.

This is a quality product with strong stitching and solid closures. There are pockets everywhere and you could carry more stuff than would be comfortable, but if you are going to carry it this is the vest to do it. I am not exaggerating when I say that you could pack enough stuff for a weekend getaway in this vest. *The larger lower interior pockets will hold an iPad Pro with a case easily. *Many of the pockets are labeled if they have an intended purpose. *The sunglasses pocket has a micro-cloth on a lanyard that is attached inside the pocket. *The back is comparable to a light windbreaker with the front having about x3 the material thickness due to the quantity and location of the pockets. *The earbud pockets on the interior collar are easy to access and acceptably deep but do not have a closure. The lack of a closure is a plus for comfort, but I will not be carrying my iPod Pros in there. I will just use my off-brand earbuds which is a very minor consideration. *The comfort level is excellent with no scratchy seams or stitching that I have noticed. *The collar is lined with a velvet-type material that feels very nice against the skin. *The side hand pockets have both a zipper and magnetic closure which is nice when you need to be taking your hands in and out but want some security of the items in your pocket. *In the right side-hand pocket is a key chain with a lanyard that is attached with a snap loop. Easy enough to remove the lanyard and replace it with your own keys. The lanyard is flexible and would be useful for temporary key storage while traveling (ie. hotel or rental car keys). *One of the greatest perks of traveling with this vest is airport security. I keep everything that is going to set off the detectors in the vest then take it off at security and send it down in a tray for the x-ray. Pick it up on the other side and I am off. *Considering the quality, functionality, and timeless style the price is very reasonable.

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.

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.
