SCOTTEVEST

Dear SeV Daily Sale Subscribers,

Today's Daily Sale item
20% Off SeV Hidden Cargo Pants! $60 - 20% = $48

It’s win-win:khakis and cargos. They’re called “hidden cargo” because they don’t look like cargo pants - they look like your favorite khakis (your sister will be thrilled when you don’t show up in those old cargos for Aunt May’s Thanksgiving dinner!) But since they function like traditional cargos, you can still carry all your gadgets (you'll impress all when you whip out a box of after dinner cigars!). Featuring 10 hidden pockets with magnetic closures and hidden drawstring waist to fine tune the fit. These pants will fast become your favorites!

SCOTTEVEST Lola Women’s Jacket Review

by JULIE on MAY 13, 2012 · 4 COMMENTS

in GEAR, OUTDOOR GEAR, REVIEWS

Karmaloop Hoodies
www.Karmaloop.com
Streetwear for Men and Women. Huge Savings on the Hottest Brands!

Although it’s the middle of May here in Indiana, we are still having a few 40 degree mornings. Instead of dragging out my winter coat, I’ve been enjoying the comfort and gadget storage of the SCOTTEVEST Lola Jacket. Wearing this jacket allows me to hide all my gear in the jacket and leave my shoulder bag at home. Let’s take a closer look.

Note: Click the images in this review to see a larger view.

The Lola jacket is made of 100% quilted nylon with DuPont Teflon fabric protection that repels both water and oil based spills, while remaining machine washable. It is available three colors: Rhapsody, Sparkle and Fluff. The jacket is sized for women and comes in X-Small up to XX-Large. Guys don’t need to feel left out. SCOTTEVEST has a men’s version of this jacket called the Puffer which is available in Red and Black and sized from Small – XXX-Large.

I was sent a medium sized Lola in Rhapsody, which is a stylish Purple/Blue color with bright Yellow trim.

SCOTTEVEST products are famous for their pockets, so the Lola jacket lives up to that tradition. This jacket offers 16 pockets that allow for great gear organization.

With the jacket zipped (btw: I love the long metal zipper pulls), you have access to two zippered hand warmer pockets.

Inside the Right pocket is a removable extendable key holder, a wide elastic bottle holder and a lipstick / chapstick pocket.

In the Left pocket you’ll find a small change pocket.

The cuffs have a narrow elastic band to keep them from shimmying up your arm.

Like other SeV jackets, the Lola has a built in PAN – Personal Area Network that you can use to route your earbud cables. In the inside collar area, a flap of the quilted material is held in place with Velcro. Opening this channel will allow you to place your earbud cables so that you can easily access your music while on the go. Small rubber holders add additional cable management. This system works fine, but I did notice that if you don’t arrange the flap correctly, that the Velcro in the collar might scratch your neck. For this fact, I’d prefer just having a hole that I could fish the wires into, instead of a flap. I like the SeV Chloe jacket PAN system design a little better than the Lola’s design.

The pockets on the Left side of the jacket include a Cellphone / MP3 playerpocket at the top, with a pen pocket next to it near the zipper. This pocket is large enough to comfortably hold an iPhone 4S or Motorola Droid X with room to spare. There’s a conduit in the pocket to route the connector from your earphones.

A little lower is a zipper that opens into a large 8.5 x 8.5 inch pocket that extends to the bottom of that side. This pocket can hold a small tablet orebook reader like the Amazon Kindle Fire.

Another zipper allows access to a smaller 8.5 x 4 inch pocket on top of the 8.5 x 8.5 inch pocket. This pocket is meant to hold your passport and your ID (in the small pocket on the outer layer). The pocket works great for holding a Field Notes notebook or Moleskine Cahier notebook too.

On the Right side, you’ll find two large zippered pockets.

The upper pocket, which is accessed with a vertical zipper holds your sunglasses and includes a handy chamois cloth that is attached to an elastic cord.

A horizontally zippered pocket below the sunglasses pocket is meant to hold your digital camera. There’s even a smaller pocket inside which you can use to hold extra SD flash cards. It’s possible to place a CF sized card in that slot, but you won’t be able to Velcro the top closed.

I should note that all the interior pocket zippers have nice hard plastic pulls on them, while the exterior zippers have metal pulls.

You’ll also notice that there’s an adjustable bottom cinch cord that willhelp keep the wind and cold from blowing up your back.

Speaking of the back, that’s where the largest pocket of this jacket is located. It’s an open topped stretchy mesh pocket that is large enough to hold an iPad. I don’t think I’d want to walk around with an iPad bouncing against my back, but it also works great for holding a standard sized magazine.

I love the Lola jacket. It allows me to carry quite a bit of gear without having it all stuffed into two side pockets, which is what I usually end up doing with non-SCOTTEVEST jackets. I don’t carry tons of gear, but it’s nice to have my keys, wallet, phone, earbuds, lip baum, sunglasses clip, pen and a Field Notes notebook all stowed in the jacket so I don’t have to carry a bag. I also like that the jacket doesn’t have a lot of SeV branding. What it does have is subtle… the SeV logo on the interior lining and then a rubber SeV logo sewn into the back of the collar.

I was very surprised by how comfortable and light weight this jacket is, while still providing adequate protection from cool weather. It’s so cozy that I keep hoping for more cool mornings so I can wear it to work. It seems like the perfect weight for Fall and Spring weather, but not quite heavy enough for the dead of Winter… unless of course the winters in your area are not too cold.

The Lola jacket is made very well. I could not find any defects in the material or construction. I’m a fan of this jacket and expect it to hold up to everyday wear and tear for many cold seasons to come.

The Ultimate Travel Jacket – Scottevest

by STEPHEN MAY on MAY 9, 2012 · 4 COMMENTS

in TRAVEL GEAR

I’m a technology gadget sort of guy.  As a kid, I would rummage around under the Christmas tree before my parents were up, eagerly shaking each wrapped present.  Soft packages, inevitably a jacket from mom or a sweater from grandma (sorry mom and nanna!), were cast aside.  Boxes of predictable sizes (Nintendo games?) and of hefty weight (the latest Transformer toy or a radio controlled car?) were piled up in a stack to be opened first.

25 years later, my present preferences haven’t changed.  On the morning of December 25th, 2009, my early scouting mission under the Christmas tree left me disappointed.  I reached for a lone soft and somewhat fluffy package addressed to me from my wife. I immediately knew it wasn’t something that would beep, or whirl, or buzz, or fit into my Sony Playstation.

X-Ray view of a Scottevest Jacket

Given that we are on the road so often, my wife bought me atravel jacket from Scottevest.  A jacket?  Yeah, this isn’t something that I would typically get excited over… until I started reading the instruction manual.  Personal Area Network?  Weight Management System? Clear touch interior pockets that allow you to operate your iPhone’s touch screen while it’s IN your pocket?  iPad compatibility?

Now… this is my kind of jacket!

Gadget-y jacket aside, what warrants a blog post on the Scottevest jacket is the impact it has had on my travel.  Versatility, security and comfort are all critical components of any travel clothing selection.  The Scottevest jacket excels on all of these fronts.

Versatility

My Scottevest jacket loaded with gear in the Sahara Desert, Morocco

My jacket is a tropical wind breaker in Scottevest’s product line-up.  It features 18 pockets for various purposes, mesh lining for breathability and is relatively lightweight.  Loaded up, the jacket can easily carry an iPad, water bottle, passport and flight documents, a point and shoot camera, 2 iPhones, sun glasses, keys, wallet, city street maps and loose change.

A “Personal Area Network” keeps any headphone wires run through dedicated channels in the jacket’s interior liner.  Meanwhile, a “Weight Management System” (they’ve apparently trademarked this term) distributes the weight of your pocketed gear evenly throughout the jacket.  I’m not exactly sure how this works, but I can vouch for its effectiveness since loading the jacket up never makes it feel uncomfortable.

My Scottevest jacket as a vest (with the sleeves unzipped) in Essaouirra, Morocco

What knocks my socks off is that the jacket folds up and can be stowed into it’s own back pocket.

Not using the jacket? Fold it up, tuck it into your pants pocket or into your back pack.  You’re all set to go.

Weather get a bit warmer?  The sleeves zip off to convert the jacket into a vest.  (This is almost as cool as the Transformer toy I was always wishing for!)

Security

Most of our travels require that we carry around some important items at all times.  My passport, phone, wallet with cash and keys are those very mission critical items that I am never separated from.

Depending on where you’re traveling, carrying these items is risky in itself.  I’ve been targeted by a well choreographed Gypsy pick-pocketing scheme in Italy and have also felt hands slip into my pants pockets while navigating through throngs of people in India – hands in search of a wallet or something of value.  (As a side note, I recommend NEVER keeping anything of value in your pants pockets while traveling unless you enjoy being stranded in a country without your walleter – or worse… without your passport.)

Scottevest’s internal pocket designs make it easy to carry these items securely.  Internal pockets are deep and sealed with either velcro, zippers or a combination of both.  This makes it virtually impossible for a random hand of ill-intent to make its way into your pockets.

For any travel that requires a jacket, my Scottevest jacket comes out of the closet to serve that role.  If you are a traveler and need a jacket for your trip, I highly suggest checking out Scottevest’s product line.

Photography Tour 2012: Gary and Friends take the American Southwest

Part of Scott's mission when he was hanging out with Gary in San Francisco last weekend was to deliver a set of Travel Vests to Gary's photography tour group.  Gary and 13 photography enthusiasts piled into a large van (or a small bus?) and took off...they'll be taking TONS of pictures, learning new techniques, and enjoying the amazing scenery right here in our backyard.  Travelers love SeV...photographers love SeV...traveling photographers absolutely MUST HAVE SeV!

Going Away: The Trip of Your Life (Italy)

Vince and Rhonda took their trip to Italy and are ready to debut their website.  They have some awesome journals about their travels and plenty of amazing pictures (what else would you expect from Vince?).  The trip was full of great sites and good food (I think they have 100 favorite restaurants now) and they have a great sense of humor in relaying their story...they gave themselves 5 hours to make the plane and were still running down the jetway!  They will be adding new content regularly, so check it out now and follow them as they relive the journey - something new to read with your morning coffee or during your lunch break!

SeVIP Profile: Fletcher Young
We started SeVIP Profiles in the Pocket Guide last week, a way to highlight our best SeVIPs.  We chose another SeVIP this week.  If you are an SeVIP and would like to be featured, email sevip@scottevest.com.  If you think you qualify to become an SeVIP, check out the information on our page here.

(1) What was your first SeV product? Why did you buy it and when?
My first SeV product was the Ultimate Hoodie Microfleece in the Summer of 2010.  I bought it because we had been taking so many trips to Europe I thought it was a good idea for the long haul plane rides.  Since then I've acquired a Fleece 5.0 (which is my favorite), several pairs of cargo pants, several polo shirts, t-shirts, and Q-zips.  My wife has a Q-zip, an essential travel jacket, and will soon have the Margaux Cargaux pants.  After our last trip to Germany, we realized that we had enough Scottevest clothing to fill an entire load of laundry!
(2) Has your SCOTTEVEST ever saved your life (a stretch, we know) or come in handy in an unexpected way?
Well, it hasn't saved my life yet, but the fact that I can carry a LOT of stuff in a Fleece 5.0 comes in very handy.  I'm probably one of the few people who carry a flashlight and a power drill with me at all times.  Probably the most unexpected use would be using the Hidden Cargo Pants as a diaper bag and going to a formal event with the family.  
(3) What’s your favorite feature of SCOTTEVEST (can be either about the clothes or the brand)?
If there's one thing that my wife and I  like about Scottevest, it's gotta be the magnets.  The magnetic closures on the jacket handwarmer pockets and the cargo pants pockets are what convinced my wife.  When we travel one of her greatest fears is one of us losing a passport or plane tickets, and when she saw how the magnets snapped shut when I threw everyone's plane tickets into my pocket, she stopped worrying.  Of course, it didn't help when I forgot which pocket I put everything in...

SeVIP Profile: Tom Owens
This is the very first SeVIP Profile in the Pocket Guide, and we've chosen one of our oldest customers and most active SeVIPS.  We can always count on Tom to be posting on Facebook and giving us his feedback about products. Check out the interview below.

What was your first SeV Purchase, why did you buy it and when?
My first SeV item was the Travel Vest. I purchase the vest approximately 10 years ago. I was traveling to Mexico for my employer and it was convenient to carry my music, tickets, phone, sunglasses, etc.. Mexico had a red light and green light for their Customs Service. I received the green light every time I enter the country. I believe the Travel Vest helped out in that situation.

What unforeseen purpose do you use your SCOTTEVEST for?
After purchasing my SeV Travel Vest, I realized what I was missing when I would go shopping with my wife. My music helped me get through rack after rack of clearance items in different stores. I was in the zone with my ear buds in.

What's your SeV "dream item"?
My "Dream Item" would be a Scottevest Stadium Jacket (knee length) to wear to my nieces' and nephews' soccer games and the Patriots games.  I would ask for large backside pocket to hold my fleece blanket. Also, I would need an insulated pocket for my flask.

We are in the process of revamping the SeVIP program, but for now, check out the info on this page.

Sunday Traveler: Scott Jordan – A CEO Goes to Indonesia

Published on 04/29/2012

  • 82
     

While my travels have been extensive, I can’t experience every type of travel. Occasionally I like to let my friends have the podium to tell their travel stories. Today’s post is from Scott Jordan, the founder and CEO of Scottevest, one of my sponsors. We spoke about his upcoming trip when I was in Las Vegas and invited him to guest post on my site. His recent trip to Indonesia was an eye opening experience for him and it was an interesting look what happens when a CEO has to step away from the office. Here is Scott…

 

Scott and kids in Indonesia

Scott and kids in Indonesia

Three weeks ago, I made the decision to go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Two weeks ago, I went on that trip. Like most things I do, it was a whirlwind process. I have not traveled much recently, despite owning one of the most innovative travel companies in the world. Traveling used to be part of my life, but my wife and I have been so dedicated to our business in the last decade that leaving for extended periods of time has been difficult. Our rather remote location (Sun Valley, ID) also makes traveling a challenge. The timing was right, however, and the opportunity was one that could not be missed.

 

 

The invitation was from a good friend of mine, author Amy Tan, to celebrate her 60th birthday (I apologize if she didn’t want her age publicized…) on a private island in Indonesia with a small group of her close friends. I was honored to be included on the list and tempted by the thought of being “stranded” with some of the most interesting people in the world, but I have to say that I almost immediately dismissed the idea of going. I am extremely committed to my company and the trip followed a very busy period in our history; my appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank. Finally, I have to admit that I am also rather attached to the internet. The thought of being “unwired” for 10+ days? Think again.

 

Scott and Amy Tan

Scott and Amy Tan

Afew factors encouraged me to change this position. Ironically, one of the reasons I thought I shouldn’t go away turned into a reason why I should. My team and I worked non-stop leading up to and immediately following Shark Tank, and I realized it was a good time to get away: to gain a new perspective and take some time to slow down and think. My wife and my team at Scottevestencouraged me (with an almost suspicious exuberance) to accept the invitation. I was crazy not to go, they said. I started to think about the company I would be in and the opportunities to learn from such diverse and accomplished people and the unprecedented chance to really “road test” (or “plane test”) my products.

 

I had made up my mind, but I wasn’t appropriately excited until a conversation that I had with Gary. We’ve been working with Gary for a few months, sending him gear and co-sponsoring his travels, but I didn’t meet him until the Travel Goods Association Show in Las Vegas last month. Gary is a truly inspiring man. His sense of direction? Not so inspired, surprisingly. This is a man who has explored every continent, but he could not find my booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center if his life depended on it. Maybe he’s used to using the sun to navigate.

Gary and I had dinner together one evening, and it was over dinner that I began to really understand the magnitude of what he does. He has had countless incredible experiences and thousands of stunning photographs, not a single one of which he has ever printed, he told me. I guess by the time one adventure ends, it’s on to the next. Gary mentioned that of all the people who buy and subscribe to travel magazines, most of them don’t get the chance to go anywhere. The simply love to learn about these experiences and imagine them and best they can through magazine articles, travel shows, photographs, and bloggers like Gary. I realized that I want to be a conduit in the same way so I could not only travel and share my experiences, but that I can make it easier for people. This is already something that Scottevest aspires to do, ease the hassles of travel, but it became more tangible to me as I thought about the approaching trip. After meeting with Gary, my excitement and my expectations trumped my anxiety about the hassles of travel: the days spent on plane after plane, being away from email, etc.

 

Scott and a Fan at the Airpor

Scott and a Fan at the Airpor

I departed from Sun Valley with renewed enthusiasm and with the following plan of action: to embrace the actual traveling. People often say that they love travel, but that they don’t like the actual getting there. This trip would entail a long period of “getting there,” so I decided to make the best of it. I wear Scottevest gear every day, but traveling with it was a whole new experience. It really was the best solution getting through airport security. It also gave me new ideas about what I want in the products and what might be most important. I also liked interaction face-to-face with other travelers. I engage our fans online all the time, but my preferred method is always in person.

 

At the LAX International Terminal I encountered an entire family of Scottevest fans. I always approach people when I see them wearing Scottevest, and this was no exception. I looked like a fool I’m sure. Green plaid shirt, red vest, and a fedora hat that my wife hates, but I walked up to this family outside McDonald’s and asked the father how he liked his vest. The daughter looked at me and said, “Hey, we saw you on Shark Tank!” It was a great interaction. The gentleman gave me some useful feedback about the sizing and position of the iPod pocket. It set the tone of the trip, and I decided that I need to be meeting travelers. My trip ended with another SeV sighting, with a man dressed head-to-toe in the Salt Lake City airport. I did the math later, he had to have at least 35 pockets…I didn’t ask if he was wearing the Travel Boxers.

Although I was committed to this project of enjoying the actual getting there (at the very least tolerating it), I have to say I was relieved when my destination was in sight. By the time I arrived on the island…via Hong Kong, via Los Angeles, via Salt Lake City, I had no idea what time or day it was. The location was stunning as I knew it would be, but you can never really imagine or anticipate that kind of beauty. Nor can you capture it. The photos I took pale in comparison to what it was really like. Of course, travel is about so much more than blue waters, beach huts and photographs. What I took away from the trip will change me and it will change my business. In future posts on my blog I will discuss the highlights of the trip and the perspective it gave me, the importance of camaraderie and company when it comes to travel and the retrospection that being “away from it all” allowed me. Like any significant trip, I could never have anticipated the things that I saw, the experiences I had, or the things that I felt. I’m excited to organize my thoughts about the trip and looking forward to planning more adventures in the near future.

I think I got the travel bug!
