One-bag, carry-on, light travel tips, techniques, and gear

Yesterday’s post about leaving tech gear at home got me thinking about alternatives to the Luddite approach. The many-pocketed SCOTTEVEST products offer an innovative solution for keeping your stuff out of a bag (that’s lodged in an overhead compartment or stuffed under airline seat) and on your person - a great choice of one-bag travelers who suffer unexpected gate checks. SeV has coats, vests, and an interesting travel shirt. Air travelers can beat those pesky and increasingly-popular carry-on weight limits by stashing several pounds of stuff in a jacket or vest that can be slipped off at the checkpoint for scanning but won’t count against the bag weight.
