SCOTTeVEST Q.U.E.S.T Vest for Women - 42 Hidden Pockets - Water Repellent for Travel & More

I've had the vest for six months now and it's the best clothing purchase I've made, hands down. Yes, it's slightly loose in the chest and waist when it's empty, but that's the point: That roominess means you can pack in a lot without constricting yourself. With such an absurd number of large pockets, you'll find room for anything you could reasonably want to stick in a purse or backpack. The built-in wiring holes take a bit to set up but, once you've wired things between the pockets you want to use, it's fantastic to keep important things charged and at hand. I just hang up the vest when I get home and put it on when I leave, as it has everything I'll need for daily carry, with ample room for anything I pick up throughout the day. It's also quite warm, which is useful in the sometimes chilly weather we get here in Denver.The ONLY complaint I have is that the phone pocket is a little small. If you're using any kind of XL smartphone, it won't fit in there with a case, and it's very difficult to squeeze the charger into the phone. A tiny concession to make for an otherwise outstanding garment.

Where do I start. I absolutely love, love, love this vest. I am in the Foreign Service so aside from worldwide postings, I enjoy traveling for pleasure. I appreciate being able to travel light because of this vest especially not having to carry burdensome carry ons and/or purse. I can even ball it and use it as pillow even with things in the pockets. The zipper are better then my purse keeping everything inside safe and secure especially with the RFID compartment. I love it so much that I bought the black and beige ones. I wish they come in other colors. I wear it with tactical pants and jackets either outside or inside my jacket. What I like most about these vests is they look really pretty over summer or winter dresses as well. It is not masculine at all. People just tend to buy one or too many size larger than they need so they feel masculine. I can still zip mine up but I prefer wearing the vests unzipped especially in the summer to show off the nice dress under it. They look great with skirts and shorts. But the best features that made these vests very attractive and practical for me are the POCKETS and the quality of the materials. The feel is so soft and I feel so streamlined without lugging around carry ons where airlines tag after all because they claim they are out of overhead bins and/or too large for the cabin. The pockets have labels but I don't need to remember because after a couple of wearings, it is so easy to remember where I put what in where pocket because this vest makes it so easy for me to remember just like habits. I know exactly where things go whether on my right or left. So anyway, I have been an Amazon prime member for at least 10 years and I've only written less than 5 reviews because I don't have time. However, with ScotteVest and its customer service, I was compelled to share with all that the company is world class - its customer service is world class, most of all its products are world class with attention to even the most minute detail. It is well thought and intentional for us to get the best out of what we are buying. I returned the medium size for a size small and the shipping label indicated that I will have to pay a nominal return shipping fee that they did not even charge me at all among others. The refund was lightning fast. I am going to buy more of these vests for my jet setter family members for Christmas. It is so practical and well made with high quality materials to practically last a lifetime. Best of it all, I don't have to carry purses and still carry everything I need close to me. I get a lot of compliments and it is such a conversational piece anywhere I go. I highly recommend this vest over the regular travel vest. Spending 30 bucks more is well worth it - a necessity for what I need indeed. Thank you Amazon for having ScotteVest. Thank you for a truly awesome product. Best wishes and all the best to all of you. Mary.

Like the title says, I am a medium, and thought I'd order a large. I can barely zip this thing because it doesnt fit at the hips- and with a sweater underneath, it may not zip at all. When the weather is less warm next week, I'll try to assess it more completely- and find the 42 pockets! But I have my doubts.

I was debating for a while whether to get this vest and I'm so glad that I did. It is a little pricey but the quality and details really set it apart. I have another travel vest but this one is definitely much better quality and looks nicer.I will be traveling extensively for the foreseeable future --we are sailing from LA to the Mediterranean and will stop in a lot of places along the way--and I will always keep this as my go-to vest. I both like how it looks and how functional it is.I was happy that they had an XS to fit my petite frame. It looks more fitted and is flattering. I would size up if you think you will carry a lot of stuff in many of the pockets all of the time.

The vest is very bulky and heavy. I like scottevests but this one is definitely not a winner. It doesn't need 42 pockets, if even half were filled, it would be much too bulky. I have the travel vest and the lightweight vest and both of them are fantastic. The SCOTTeVEST website has the Quest vest on sale for 40% off but it's a final sale, no exchanges, no returns & shipping isn't cheap. I'm glad I ordered on Amazon and was able to determine for free that I didn't like it and able to return it.

Bought this to help reduce carry on luggage weights for painting trip to Italy. Eliminates need for a purse. Carries my cell phone, passport, vaccination card, ID and debit card in RFID secure pocket and plenty of pockets for small paint kits, brushes, and small sketchbooks. Plus a book and a Nook and masks. An easier way to carry my painting supplies and a water bottle for drinking and painting. I am surprised I never heard of other artists wearing this!
