Looks great!
Shell loops? Does it have a second box call pocket?

Only one box call holder. I wish that Thermocell holder was another box call holder instead. How many people actually carry a Thermocell? I'll probably use it for my GPS.

And no shell loops. I thought the same thing. One of those zipper pockets needed shell loops in them.

A thermocell is a must for me.  Black flies can be unbearable up here in the spring, along with the mosquito's and deer flies.

Ditto on the Thermacell. I'd say it's  mandatory for about 90% of my spring hunting. I love late season hunting and here in the northeast our mosquitoes are out in force by then.

How much do the Nomad vests weigh? I had a Dixion vest and empty it weighed more than everything I carry , I sold it.
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?

Saw the new Nomad vest this morning at a local Field & Stream store. Gave it a  quick look over. It is a light weight vest that appears to be decently built , however  the pocket layout seems odd.
My opinion , it is not the same build quality or layout as the Limbhanger. Unfortunately this is not the next generation Limbhanger.

Dicks Sporting Goods has them on their website in stock to ship.

The geeenleaf model went up for sale on the field and stream website last night for anyone interested. I went ahead and got myself to one to give a go!

It's a "one size fits most" deal but plenty of adjustment room.

I ordered one so I'll find out myself in due time but just out of curiosity is there a quick access area for locator calls anywhere? Not a deal breaker. I can make a lanyard to go on the should straps easily but I just can't tell from the pictures if there is an area for them.
