I’m writing much of this review on an airplane right now. And I’m wearing a Scott E Vest (SEV) Classic Men’s Travel Vest. Just a few minutes ago, I lost my free drink ticket in one of the 22 pockets in the SEV lightweight vest. I did manage to find it a few minutes later, buried deep in one of the outside side pockets. But let me tell you, having one of these multi-pocket vests on a trip and going through the airport is essential.
Traversing through security was a breeze actually. Instead of putting things into the plastic tray, I started loading them into the various pockets of my SEV. My belt with a big metal buckle went in the outside, my phone went into one of the inner pockets that are devoted to touch-screen devices. My boarding passes were put into the appropriately labeled “ticket” pocket. My sun glasses were stashed in the sunglasses pocket (which has a chamois attached to a bungee cord – I always show that off to people). And my car keys were attached to another bungee in another pocket as well.
Once I loaded up the vest with all of the items that were in my pocket, the rest was easy. I just put the whole vest into a tray and off it went through the X-ray. Conversely, I put my other gadgets into trays as well as leaving them in my big gadget backpack. So what happen next? Well, my SEV went through without problem but the backpack didn’t. There were just to many “high-density” electronics in it. I had to take out the laptop, the cameras, the iPad, etc. and have them go through separately. I have a feeling that if I had put some of those items into the SEV, that I wouldn’t have had to have put through the backpack twice.
