scottevest.com Reviews
About this CompanyOur story begins back in 2000, when Laura and Scott Jordan - our future Pocket entrepreneurs - realized the world of fashion was light years behind the ever-changing world of technology. Laura was tired of carrying all of Scott’s gadgets in her bags and Scott’s traditional pockets couldn’t carry everything he needed...and a man purse was out of the question. Scott had a brilliant idea: he would create a modified fisherman’s vest but with extra pockets, enough to hold all of his essentials but still stylish enough to wear out around town.
Those were the humble beginnings of SCOTTeVEST. The company has now evolved into an international business, with a full line of men’s and women’s vests, jackets, pullovers, hoodies, shirts, dresses, underwear, pajamas and pants; all designed to strategically hold and organize your personal belongings so whatever you need is always on hand.

The vest overall is great. The zipper does seem light weight though. The biggest issue is that the sizing for XXXLT does not allow for much to be put in the pockets for men near the larger diameter of the size. I would get one size larger if you are near the upper dimension for a size.
Why SCOTTeVEST?
Brand recognition and reputation, vest features

One more size so a big person can wear it and use the pockets as intended.

Recommend ordering the next size larger if you are near the upper dimensions for a vest size.

I own several SCOTTeVEST vests and love ‘em all but the QUEST is my favorite so far. The front flapped pockets are great for holding items you need quick access to. SCOTTeVEST products are very high quality & the customer service is fantastic.

I have had 2 of these vests. Pockets are great and looks are good for the first 4 months. After that the dye of the black vest turns into rusty orange and the tissue gets thinner and tends to tear apart. I wear it almost daily and it’s a shame that it has such poor quality. I have ordered the beige one to see if it is improved.

I have had 3 QUEST vests over the years. I had 2 lighter ones and 1 black. Have traveled to Italy, Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, Germany, as well as here in US. The pockets are useful. the zippers like always get stuck because the fabric inside the pockets gets into the zippers. for the money paid for the vests - I would have liked to see a 2 way zipper, reinforcements with cordura fabric around the waist, and better material for the hood. I have kept the hood on 1 of the vests and cut it off the other 2. It irritates the back of my neck.

The black dye used in the product lightened greatly in the sun within the 1st year making it less dressy and more suitable for backwoods use only. By 18 months the thin material had many signs on serious wear necessitating replacement. When brought to the manufacturers attention at 11 months, they did not stand behind their product.

While I love it, it is a little pricy. But I need the pockets so I gladly bought it when I found it still expensive but on sale

It’s perfect! Fits well, zipper doesn’t hang & pockets are even more intuitive. I bought one back when scottevest first started out & the improvements are clear immediately. Thanks!

Q.U.E.S.T. was a bit too expensive. While I am still discovering pockets, I like the one large pocket that will hold my DELL XPS Laptop, I wish vest had more smaller pockets & fewer huge pockets, one is enough. Wonderful for carrying around all my stuff that used to be lost in trouser pockets!

Love the vest, however, the pockets on the outside seem to not stay closed. Perhaps a better velcro ?

My son wears one of these vests a lot. It keeps him organized and he doesn't lose stuff. We are disappointed that the black fabric fades rather quickly and almost looks brownish-black
George - 12/26/2021
Way overpriced for the quality and substance . Nice vest but no way near what you would expect for over $200. Was very disappointed

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
