I have a Sitka vest but am disappointed by how few strikers I can fit in it, what kinds of vests do y'all have?
I've got an Ol' Tom, and I like it a lot. Plenty of pockets, and is actually lightweight. The best feature is the magnet closure for the rear seat. It's very handy and a lot quicker than buckles.
I have the Sitka and love it. It fits my needs. The Easy Rider by Ol Tom was great, but I hatted that magnetic seat and that it swallowed me at 6' 200#. Great layout though, it copied the limb hanger.

I have a Grounded Impact 2.0 for when I want to pack a bunch and a badlands (discontinued, i think) for when I plan to go light.

Get with Glenda Green and get one of her Striker Roll ups. These roll ups come with about 6 slots that will hold at least 12 strikers. The rollups will have a flap at the top and a buckle that will keep your strikers secure when not in use and fit in your vest or deep pants pocket while on the move. When you set up, pull out the roll up next to you and you have all you need at your fingertips. Sent you a PM. Welcome to Old Gobbler!
My favorite vest isn't a vest. I got out of using a vest over 20 years ago. I use what is generically called a "Tactical Messenger Bag"

Granted, I can't carry the kitchen sink, but I found that my vest was getting too heavy and rattly.
I have a couple of vests but as of late I have moved to going lighter. I have a turkey satchel from Ms Glenda Green and a small bino harness. Feel a lot more mobile and comfortable.
