New Vest Recomendation

[zelmo1]

The wife is " FRankensteining " a vest for me. It is for a larger human, 6'2" 260 pounds, and is taylored for my personal set up. It will benefit her as I am her personal donkey/guide. I cant find a replacement for my Tatr 3 so I am trying this. Z

I like the Sitka. It is not too big, holds a good amount without being bulky and is lightweight. Highly adjustable, great seat, great pot and box call pockets. Worth looking at for sure. Good luck....

I feel that, with the exception of the back pack, the Sitka actually holds less.

Actually I know that for a fact as I went from a RNG to a Sitka and had to drop a few toys.

Yea, vests are very personal, catered to one's particular hunting style. I set up my Sitka as follows: license, Turkey tote, lens wipes, napkins, flashlight, pen go in zippered back pack. I put a turkey wing in the bag. There is a solid, well protected 2 call pot  pocket, I carry a push-pin in the box call pocket, shells, diaphragms in small magnetic pocket, headnet  and gloves in mesh zippered inside pockets. The vest is lightweight empty, so this gear doesn't make the whole package heavy. Works for my Run&Gun set-up perfectly....

Don't get me wrong, love my Sitka vest.  Love the RnG for that matter.  But if he's specifically looking for something with more room, the Sitka really isn't it.

Also, I actually like the toast system.in the best if you havent tried it.  Really balances the load well.

I agree with you. The Sitka to me is more than a minimalist vest, but less than a full-fledged vest like the Cabelas Tar-tar series. If you looking to carry a lot, the Fox Vest (Pricey) has a phenomenal layout, carry's a ton, and is very well made using high quality materials. There are a few good options out there for sure....you just have to try them on in person, and see how it fits your style. I use different vests for different terrain/hunting styles. You almost need a few vests to cover your needs...good luck.

There are a lot of really good options out there. I am partial to the Grounded Impact 2.0 vest, but again there are several good options out there!
