After a year of owning my Scottevest the verdict is that I cannot recommend purchasing one.
The idea is good and it is a seriously innovative piece of clothing. The pockets are great and the styling looks good.
However, the materials are cheap and it distributes the weight in such a way that it pulls on the back of my neck even with virtually nothing in it. When loaded it pulls much worse. The pulling is better if the vest is zipped but it is not practical to keep it zipped most of the time.
The vest is fading over the zipper flaps and in other spots and I have only washed it once or twice. It looks more worn than it should for its age.
I say this with regret since it is clear that they put a great deal of work into the design of the vest. They just came up short on the quality and weight distribution.
