The Best Lightweight Travel Vest For Men
Eureka! We found the best lightweight travel vest for men. It’s hard to improve upon perfection but Scottevest has done it.
My husband has always been a huge fan of Scottevest apparel. In fact, the vest that he’s used for the last six or so years is the one piece of apparel he takes on every single trip.
He loves the convenience of being able to load the vest pockets with his smartphone, camera, backup charger, wallet, keys, passport, and more.
When we arrive at airport security—instead of going through the arduous task of emptying his pants or jacket pockets into one or more trays—he simply removes the vest, folds it, places it in a tray on the conveyer belt, and picks up the vest at the other end. Everything remains safely tucked inside the pockets ready to pick up and go.
He wears the vest on walking tours and shore excursions, leaving him hands-free to take photographs, take notes or reach into his pocket to pay for something.
He purchased a tan-colored one for tropical climates and a navy blue one for cooler ones. I can’t even count all the times the old vests have been washed. Yet, they still look and perform like new.
The new and improved lightweight travel vest: What we loved
Then we received the newest model for review: the featherweight version of the classic vest. My husband chose the black one (it comes in three different colors) and will never go back to the old version. Yes, you can improve upon perfection.
Really light:
Weighing in at 0.6 pounds, this easy-to-wear, featherweight travel vest adds minimal heft or weight on your back or in your suitcase. The breathable fabric is comfortable enough to wear in warm weather and light enough to be worn under a medium or heavier weight jacket.
Plenty of pockets
With 16 pockets (some inside and others outside), there’s a place to stash everything you want to take with you. The zippered pockets keep your wallet safe, out of sight, and off-limits to potential pickpockets. A front pocket is a perfect place to stow a smartphone so it’s easy to reach when you need it.
One of the interior pockets offers RFID protection (radio-frequency identification) so no one can surreptitiously steal data (or your identity) from your wallet or credit cards. Another interior pocket is large enough to hold an iPad.
Stylish and durable
We love the water- and stain-repellent fabric as well as its fit. Two small slits at the hip make the fit forgiving and comfortable. The new lightweight travel vest is made of high-quality polyester with just enough sheen to keep it looking fresh and clean. It’s washable and dries quickly.

We have a suggestion if you don’t want to splurge on the real thing.
We recently met for dinner, and my friend’s husband wore this vest. We fell in love with it and ordered one from Amazon (delivered the next day). This vest is far less expensive than the Scottevest (probably because it doesn’t have as many pockets and is made in China), but it’s extremely attractive, comfortable, and durable. Directions call for hand washing, but I threw the vest in the washing machine with no problem.
It’s lightweight and has two side pockets with zippers, a top pocket outside with a zipper, and an unzipped interior pocket. What attracted us was the all-season khaki color, but it also comes in navy, black, and army green.

My husband has been a fan of Scottevests, also, and would love an updated one with the RFID protection, plus the ability to keep his IPad safe at hand. I’d love to see him in the cement colored one. Also – at the risk of an overshare here – husband also a fan of their undergarments – very lightweight and easy to hand wash on the road if necessary!

Such a useful product. I like the black one.
The vest not only looks so very fashionable. It’s function is beyond what else is out there. When my husband and I travel he doesn’t have enough places to put what he needs to carry. It is a real problem for him comfort wise etc. He wears many similar vests but this one in black (that’s his favorite color) is something he would really appreciate.
Cadet Blue… lovely shade, plus love the idea of so many pockets! 🙂 Thanks for giveaway!
