Travel Tip Tuesday – Magellan’s Scottevest

Travel Tip Tuesday

I am normally not a proponent of recommending travel clothing. But a little ditty caught my eye that I thought I’d share. I was recently leafing through my Magellan Travel Supplies Catalog. (And if you are a traveler, why don’t you subscribe to this catalog yet??)

They have a new line by Scottevest– and they are marketing it as Gear Management Clothing.  Uh, ok, whatever that means?!
 
It kind of reminds me of a fishing vest.  Tons of little pockets, nooks and crannies to keep things close.  It looks and hopefully smells a bit better than a fishing vest though.  
 
What is this Scottevest thing?
  • Easy Access for Travel on the Go
  • Weight Management System- to balance the load and carry weight evenly
  • iPod and MP3 features-to control our devices through the fabric 
  • Versatile Go-Anywhere Styling-so you always look great

They range from $75 to $150.  

 
Personally, my favorite is the jacket.  Probably because the sleeves zip right off!
 
Scottevest jacket

 
Here is the jacket description:
 

Pockets? 18 and counting . . . As its name implies, the SCOTTEVEST® Essential Jacket is the travel jacket you simply can’t do without. Designed especially for a woman’s shape, it’s loaded with great features. 

For starters, the sleeves zip off, making it comfortable in any weather conditions. Then there’s the multitude of pockets and compartments, inside and out. Load them up with everything from your passport to your iPod, digital camera, cell phone, maps and guidebooks, and leave that extra tote bag at home.

The Weight Management System® in the shoulders evenly distributes the weight of your gear, and the built-in PAN (Personal Area Network) System® lets you run headset wires up through the lining and out the collar for tangle-free listening. Lightweight and breathable, it’s made of brushed cotton/nylon with a polyester lining and Teflon® coating for water and stain resistance. Machine washable. 

I could see myself using this.  For the flea markets, for adventure travel, hiking, bike riding, for strolling city streets and not wanting to lug around a purse, backpack or daypack!  Or, for fly fishing, if you are into that sort of thing.

You could stash your hotel keys, digital camera, spare battery, maps, protein bars, full-sized guidebook, iPod, headphones, money, pen and journal- all kinds of goodies in it.  Plus, it’s waterproof and so lightweight it would take up next to no room in your suitcase!
 
I’ll even go out on a limb here and say, without actually having tested it, I’d bet you could stash your pet chihuahua in it!
 

 

No, it’s not Chanel, and although this might shock you, I rarely look like I stepped off a runway when I travel!
