Turkey Vest For Small Guy

I'm unfortunately proportionally challenged, 5' 7" and 150-155 lbs.

Currently running a K&H RNG 200, which I really like but it's lacking storage space. Mainly if I need to shed some layers when it's cold early then hot later on.

My problem is most turkey vests I've looked at are huge.

Any suggestions on ones that have storage space but are made in smaller sizes?

We are about the same size. Out of the 3 or 4 vests I tried the Sitka equinox vest fit me best.

I'm 5'10 155, the RNG and Sitka work well for me!

The Sitka took some time to get used to after using the RNG for a long time but I like it!

Try and find an RNG 300, they pop up from time to time.

I am 6' 200# but the Sitka vest has the most adjustments I have seen on a vest. I have other vests I liked but were baggy. I bought the Sitka vest and it actually fits.

Most of the vests on the new market these days swallow me whole. The old Cabelas Tactical Tater II in SM/MD size is what I have been in for years. Once Bass Pro took over Cabelas they cheapened the heck out of the construction of it and only make it OSFM now. Ive been buying the SM/MD models second hand and now have 4 hanging in my closet for back ups. The only other vest I have found that comes close to fit is the Sitka Equinox like mentioned above. I hunted it last season and the verdict is still out for me, storage space being the main gripe with it.

The concept of that grounded set up looks nice, but it looks a bit large for my chest!

I really don't even care much for most bino packs.

Alternative to a vest, look at the Satchel Glenda Green makes. It's awesome and will hold everything you need and more.
