Looks like a nice thought out vest but for that kind of money you would think it would have a lifetime warranty

This is my take also. Double what I'd consider paying..  Good luck on a great vest, just not in my $ wheel house.

I'll admit, I tried to find something that I don't like about it... but I came up empty handed. 

I can see myself trying this one out. 

The only outstanding question I would have is regarding size.  I see it's adjustable but how does it fit small framed folks and women?

Does the box call pocket have a sleeve to keep the paddle separate/quiet?

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Looks like a nice vest. Just wondering if you considered a waist belt similar to a backpack. A good waist belt takes all the weight off the shoulders and transfers it to the hips. The original Cabelas tater vest had a great waist belt and one of the Tenzing vests did too. But those are both discontinued and I’m not aware of any other vest with a backpack style waist belt. It just seems that is something more people would want, but maybe it’s just me.

Looks to be well thought out, now if you get into making a "Hip Pack" I'd be interested. I carry a turkey lounger so no seat pad needed and have a sling for toting a tom out so no game bag. Of course this is why they make the hip packs for some of us.

Here's my Badlands Hip Pack, worked great to begin with but the magnetic tube closures I lost some calls... I now have the Avian X Sling Pack, on my second year with that but still looking for something better.

Looks like a nice vest. Excuse MK Gobl, he must have thought you asked about his fanny pack.

Vest looks nice. Agree with others, for the money, need to stand behind your product. Looks like a new venture , only hats and vest shown on website, step up and offer a serious warranty. If your testing shows it holds up to 2 seasons of hard hunting, offer a 5 year guarantee against defects. Where are you making this vest? I am interested in buying.

The two zippers in the back, what are they for?
Does it have loops to hold the hose of a hydration bladder on the shoulders?
I've never liked magnetic seats but sounds like this vest has overly heavy magnets. Strong enough it won't come off running through the woods?
What length box call can that pocket support?
How deep does the pocket go that crow call is sticking out of?
Price point is pretty high. Your competition at that price includes a kickstand.

Looks interesting to me. Just curious on one size, since I’m 6’5” 280. A lot of osfa doesn’t work. And a video of the vest would be a big help.

Nice vest, most questions I seen have been asked, box call pocket length; paddle sleeve, zippers etc. My bigger concern is one size fits most, but then you offer a return, would hope so. I like vest to run big so can have light jacket under it for early spring hunts in the north. But like more open back for the later run and gunning, so I am hard to please, like most at that price. So I have your website bookmarked to watch for any new details down the road.

Looks good. Might have to wait until some other people can review it before buying it, but I like the way it looks.

Looks good, does it have striker pocket's ?

Hey Greg, thanks for the question. The striker go inside the pot call pocket. There are 4 striker sleeves inside that pocket. I did this so you would only have to open one compartment when getting a pot call out.

Very nice looking vest, I do agree that zippers on both sides of a pocket are what I prefer instead of a full zip to open.

It would be nice to have an option of the vest minus the cushion. I have a hard time giving up my Hunt Comfort Fatboy and normally carry it in the bird pouch

Thanks for the reply. I will take that into consideration on my next run!

That's a great question. I am 5,9 135lbs so call me a lightweight haha  :blob10: It fits me well. Much like a medium size tatr 2 or tatr 3. I knew coming into this that sizing would be a big concern for folks so I insisted on offer free returns. If you get it and don't like the size request a return label and send it back!

Does the box call pocket have a sleeve to keep the paddle separate/quiet?

Long story short no it does not have a sleeve to separate the lid and the box. This was a feature that was tossed around but ultimately did not make the cut. Its fully padded and elastic on the ends to hold the call in place.
