The LightEST Vest for Men is the 2025 update to the lightest weight vest we had ever made, the Featherweight Vest introduced in 2015.  We know how much you love the Featherweight, so we kept the best parts - exceptionally lightweight fabric and secure pockets! 

The LightEST Vest fabric is super soft and light as a feather!  With 16 thoughtfully designed and ergonomically placed pockets, you'll have easy access to all your essentials.  Both exterior chest pockets have hidden gems!  One has a cell phone pocket-in-pocket and the other an eyeglass/sunglass pocket-in-pocket with attached chamois.  The new back pocket has access zippers on both right and left sides.  The RFID pocket is now built-in, removing bulk and streamlining the fit.   The 16 pockets are designed to accommodate modern devices, as well as your favorite features like the detachable key holder.  We know you'll love our latest and lightEST!

    Fabulous

    Unpacked the vest and the quality was evident right out from the start. The fit is great and the LightEST vest seems to be exactly the weight needed. I purchased the vest for an upcoming trip and am really looking forward to using it. I will update the review once I have used it.

    GREAT!

    Material wears well and always looks nice.

    My husband and I share vests!

    Would you ever consider a cotton-blend version?

    Added the LightEST Vest to my collection of SCOTTeVests

    Wear my vests every time I travel. Very handy getting through airport security with all of my important items tucked away in the pockets. Also the zipper pockets and inside pockets keep items out of reach of thieves. On a recent trip a lady in our tour group had her backpack unzipped and lost her wallet to a pick pocket in Copenhagen. Moved to Tucson so the lighter weight vest is going to get a lot of use.

    Super

    This is a very nice item of clothing. It is dressy enough to wear under a jacket or sport coat for a classic casual look. I just need to remember “which pocket has what” in it.
