Review on πŸ§₯ Featherweight Travel Vest for Women by SCOTTeVEST - 16 Pockets, Anti-Pickpocket Design by Andre Motko

Revainrating 3 out of 5

size up! Use only the essentials! And get used to stuck zippers!

This is the third travel vest I have purchased from SCOTteVEST. My first one broke the main zip so I bought the 42 pocket one. but found it sloppy and bulky with so many pockets. So I bought this for traveling in hotter climates. Now, after using it on my last 4 rides, my criticism is that the "feather light" material is a bit bulkier than their regular material. which keeps external zippers constantly attached to the fabric. The 4 outer zippers (particularly the 2 at the bottom of the waist) kept getting stuck and was very annoying as that's where you store things that you have to pull out often. The pockets on the inside were better as they didn't have a layer of fabric covering them for a hidden look. so they never get stuck. I know there are people who don't like having fewer pockets. but as far as I know, this vest is for absolutely necessary things, without which one could not even fly home. So what are these essential things? Passport, wallet, keys and cell phone. This vest can be perfect for those items! If you want to carry a water bottle, umbrella, camera tripod or sunglasses. Just pack it in your backpack or purse! I can't imagine why anyone would want to put these large items in a travel vest. Still, you should appreciate it when you buy it because it will be cramped as you fill your pockets with things. Overall I would buy these again. I just wish they could use a material that doesn't tear easily.
