After 5 years of wear and tear of my black scottevest the zipper broke and the color has fade. I still use it but decided to buy the tan scottevest and the olive rfid scottevest . Both are even higher quality workmanship and will definitely be a long term customer!

Horrible

Had trouble ordering online so called and placed order. Used a gift card but they charged my VISA AND charged me the wrong amount, considerably higher. Taking multiple phone calls and frustration. I will never shop at this retailer again.

Use Extreem Caution when trying to return a product

Bought an item, Did not like the fit , quality of material was below what i excpected for the price. Called discussed with Customer Service and said and did all the right things......Decided to return and received the appropriated RMA. Re-packaged as it was delivered. Scottevest rejected return claiming the product was A. Worn, B; dirty C stained. Never again will i deal with this company. If you choose to deal with this company I would document every aspect of the process with detailed pictures. I have found a better alternative and am actively wearing it....

I have been ordering from scottevest for at least 5 years, at first was really happy with the products then however started having problems. The issue is/was the zippers and the thinnest of the inside fabric. The weight distribution as some 1 pointed out on other reviews put all the weight across the neck. Zippers are of cheap quality and keep breaking. I have used the vests in US as concealed garment for CCW. the fabric is too thin and metal from the handgun will wear it out in no time, higher denier canvas strip sewn across the inner side of the vest would have helped. I have been told that of all of their customers I am the only one that has troubles with their products across multiple lines. Scottevest have warranty replaced my gear few times then told me I am barred from ANY warranty replacements in the future bc of amount of issues I have. That was a first from any manufacturer. all in all..if its lightweight carry for short duration they are good, if you are seeking a product to last a long time..look elsewhere.

Make wrinkle free materials available, especially for pants and burmudia shorts!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Pants and Bermuda shorts are great products, but wrinkle too fast. Make a wrinkle free material available. Not sure company will read this suggestion! (Scottievest Co). Time period, now

After buying several items of their Overpriced- Shabby Quality Merchandise. I realize ScotteVest is an Anti Pro American Company. They prefer to have Illegal Aliens flooding into our Country, rather than a Safe America for Legal Citizens and Legal Visitors alike. Save your money, Shop Elsewhere

Un AMERICAN

This company obviously does not believe in FREE SPEECH as they no longer advertise with the Tucker Carlson hour due to his views on immigration. Very UN American as FREE SPEECH is what America is about and always has been until these crazy Socialists terrorize anyone that doesn't "think" the way they do,.

Sounds Communist to me.

Shame on you Scotee Vest. I won't be buying from any company like yours...

I don't think you understand how free speech works. Tucker Carlson is free to say what he wants.

Scottevest is able to spend their marketing dollars (I.E.

speech) how they want. You're confusing "disagreeing with someone" with "free speech".

Dom C Mrn

Thank you for your feedback. As a small company, we have a very limited ad spend, which is why we purchase remnant ads. We need to make strategic business decisions and advertising on a show surrounded by controversy does not make sense for our bottom line.

Guest

Agree totally. Another communist snowflake crybaby that hates free speech for conservatives.

Move your company out of America then you bunch of liberal snowflakes. The thing you idiots forgot are that it eventually comes back around to you. Your jackets are for lazy liberal crybabies anyway. Someone who hates America and can’t hold a job, still live in the basement with their two mommies.

Never serving their country yet doing everything to destroy it. Get the *** out!

calling someone a "snowflake", calling someone a "communist", namecalling, and yet this person claims they are American. as an American we're taught to respect ALL beliefs and ALL values, not just SOME.

Too hot,

Just finishing up a one month trip to Italy and France. Though the Scott vest would be just the thing to keep things organized and the pick pockets at bay.

What I discovered was - 1. Too many pockets are not an atvantage. 2. The nylon material holds the heat so I was constantly drenched in sweat.

3. The wallet pocket( rfid) was too shallow to hold my billfold and a pain to get into (bad for pick pocketing, but also for me). 4. Cell phone pocket too narrow.

I’d ask Scott to change the material to something breathable and cut down on the number and redesign some of the pockets.

Thanks

Hey there Bill! Thanks for reaching out.

My name is Dom, and I’m the Director of Customer Experience at SCOTTeVEST. Glad to see a fellow-Idahoan purchasing our products! However, I was not pleased to hear about your dissatisfaction. I often wear my RFID Travel Vests in weather up to 80 degrees, but I can see how you'd struggle donning it in the warm Italian climate!

We actually have another product that I truly believe you'd love. The Featherweight Vest is legitimately designed for very warm temperatures, has less pockets, and is made of a much-more breathable fabric. It's much lighter, only weighing in around 0.6lb, while the RFID weighs 1.5 lb. I'd be happy to offer you a hefty discount on a Featherweight!

Why don't you send me an email, we can chat this out, or discuss other alternatives. Warm regards,

Guest

Thanks, but, No thanks. I’ll pass it on to someone and go back to my Tilley Vest.

Don’t get me wrong, if I’d been traveling later in the year, it might have worked out for warmth.

I won’t bad mouth your product but will advise guys to really think it through before making an investment. Thanks for the reply- Bill Wilkinson

Bill, I appreciate your candid response. I'd recommend giving it a try on a trip later in a year.

I'd love to hear that your first impression changed!

Thanks again for the recommendation, take care! Dom - Director of Customer Experience at SCOTTeVEST.

Just to say, I bought Scottevest items before their CEO called his customers *** gullible idiots (which I just found out reading the next posts, since I am a European customer, or rather was...)

Original review Jun 06, 2018
I did buy three products from Scottevest, because I really liked the concept. The external fabric is good but they are all rather poorly finished.

The quality of their fabric dye is really poor : the colors fade with a bit of sunshine. The zippers and the lining are not strong enough to withstand the weight of regular stuff that the pockets are supposedly designed to carry : ie phone, wallet, keys, agenda, book or e-book. - Chloe Glow hoodie, red outside and grey inside. The color faded (only parts exposed to sunlight, both grey and red) and the lining ripped in record time.

- A Women's trench coat, the buttons of which fell off at the first chance they got. -a Sterling Jacket for Women the magenta color of which also quickly faded (sun related and uneven, too ) and the zipper broke rapidly.
That teaches me me not to buy in batch...

Cost for gift return

I got a jacket as a gift. Don’t care for it then have to read fine print to call or email so I can get an RMA number for return. Then it costs me money to return it. I’ll never buy from here (or certainly give a gift!) again.
