Just to add to my previous review... This vest is incredibly versatile because you can wear it in both warm and cold seasons. In the cold season, you can easily put a heavy winter jacket right over the vest without any issues. In warm seasons, you can just wear the vest on its own (unlike travel jackets with hidden pockets that just make you look completely suspicious in the summer lol). It's a brilliant, well thought out design! Highly recommended! 😊🩷☀️❄️
The Cabin Vest is a total game changer for budget flights!
I initially ordered a size M, but after reaching out via Instagram, I switched to a size S. The designer/owner lady was so helpful and incredibly responsive despite the time zone difference (UK to New Zealand). She shared her measurements and a video of herself wearing both sizes packed and unpacked, which helped me get the perfect fit!
The internal pockets offer incredible storage space. I could have easily packed even more inside, but didn't need to for this trip (see photos).
I absolutely love the magnetic back fasteners and elasticated openings instead of velcro (as some other brands). Velcro can easily catch on fabric and damage your clothes, so this setup keeps your clothes perfectly safe.
Instead of using the included tote bag, I chose to pack my drawstring backpack to put the vest in it when needed. I prefer this setup because it keeps me completely hands free when not wearing the vest outside the airport.
I love styling it slightly zipped up with the bottom tucked under for a shorter, more cropped look. From the front, side, and back, it looks just like a normal, high quality casual vest. Gate agents didn't give it a second look! At airport security, you simply lay it flat in the scanner tray like a regular jacket.
It easily pays for itself after just one or two flights. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to travel lighter, faster, and smarter!
I recently took this product along with me to Crete in Greece and honestly I don't know what I have been doing without. It's such a clever idea and as someone who travels multiple times a year, this will save me so much in travel cost. It really is a great investment. It is virtually undetectable as it looks like any other piece of clothing. I 100% would reccomend
This vest offers excellent functionality and quality that I appreciate. The pockets are well-located and the materials feel durable.
Used this for a personal item only flight to see my mom for her birthday. I got her a LOT of rubber stamps, which I worried about packing at the time. But not only did the vest fit all my clothes, I was able to fit some stamps too! The vest was surprisingly comfortable and breathable, despite the stamps being in there and adding weight. Great experience overall and will use it again! :)
Such a good idea!! Saved me $70 flying Jetstar so my luggage wasn’t overweight
It’s clear that the vest was thoughtfully designed. The pockets have different closures, depending on where each is positioned on the vest. Customer service was also excellent. They were responsive and accommodating. I am happy to support this business because of the product and how they made me feel as a customer :)
Really great idea and execution. Slightly on the pricier side which would be a key consideration for many customers. I think the hand pockets could be even better with zips since it’s so deep! Items could be secured better in that sense.
