Title: Slim fitting turkey vest recommendations?
Post by: MattBordas on March 17, 2021, 09:30:43 PM
Hi Guys! I'm looking for a new turkey vest and the biggest thing for me is the fit. I'm a lean guy, about 6 foot 170 and built thin. I've found that most vests even fully tightened down are still loose fitting and always sliding around when I'm moving quickly. Does anyone have a recommendation for a vest that fits pretty tight but still has a seat? I don't mind spending extra for a quality vest it's something I don't replace very often.

Take a look at the Under Armour Trax Vest. Tighter, slimmer fit....good luck...

Check the new grounded impact vest out... lots of adjustments to get it fitting snug and a great seat!!

Im built the same and feel your pain when it comes to vests. I got the badlands vest last season and love it. Fits great and rides higher than most vests. The seat is great nice and comfortable and not too big. The camo is a little different but blends well in the spring woods and with other camo. Watch some reviews on it, im bettin itll fit the bill.

I've had great luck with the RNG 200 and 300 and the new nomad pursuit vest. I'm 6'2 about 190 and I have the same problem, the nomad pursuit is a little loose fitting in the shoulder strap part but other than that I like it as well as my RNG's and it has a game bag, which is my only fault with the RNG vests

RNG 200 or 300 both offer a ton of adjustment. I have my daughter in one and she's 8...

I am short and slim, and the only vest I could find to fit me was the Cabela's Tat'r.

I cannot even find the original for sale anymore, and don't even know if they make it???  Well designed vest that has held up for me.

RNG offers the most adjustment, IMO.

Agreed on this Badlands vest. It does fit and adjust snug. It does ride a little higher, so I added some camo shoulder strap  cushions to the straps and that allows me to lower it a bit. Nice and comfortable too. Very well laid out vest. Be safe...

I have a RNG 200 in the classifieds that I wore on one hunt last year.  Great adjustability and comfortable seat.  http://oldgobbler.com/Forum/index.php/topic,100687.0.html
