My Alps Grand Slam seat came off but I had already decided to use a turkey lounger due to extreme discomfort from sitting in the Alps vest. Took the kickstand off the Alps and used it today in the chair and it's bulky with the chair. Looking for a vest that works well with a chair. While I'm at it I'd like one that has places for 3 pot calls and lots of strikers, if such a vest exists.

You might look into the alps long spur. The bag on the back is removable so I'm sure it would be plenty comfy in a lounger. Only has 2 pot call pouches but you could probably fit one in another pocket, holds 6 strikers.

If your looking for a comfortable and roomy vest, look at the Primos Gen 2. I use a lounger most of the time as well and I leave my padded seat up on my back and it is VERY comfortable for LONG sits. The vest has 4 zipped pot call pockets, plenty of striker storage and plenty more pockets. The great thing about this vest is the pockets are on the front of the vest and you have easy access while seated.
I use my turkey lounger about 50% of the time. When I do use it, I take my vest off and lay it on the ground on the right side of my chair. Sometimes sprinkle some leaves on it. I take my calls out and place them on the vest so I can easily reach them. Several times on a setup like this, I decided to move on a bird. I slipped on the vest and left the chair. I had to pass back through the same area on the way out so just picked it up then.

If you are going with a chair might check out Glenda green satchel

I quit using vest when I got a good chair. I carry a box call, one pot call, two strikers, and my mouth calls in a small HS Sturt accessory pouch. I don't think they are made anymore but there are some chest packs that would probably fit your needs. Next year I plan to get a new binocular harness that has multiple pockets that will work for calls.
Something like this. Two side pockets, front pocket, elastic pouch on top, zippered rear pocket.

A $15 one I got at Walmart 3 years ago. Not sure of the brand. It's comfortable. Wish it was lighter...

This is what im using.. one cushion is from a tater2 vest the other is from a summit lock on.
Glenda Green is making me a cushion with an inner tube that i think will be sweet.
I guess your really talking chair but these type are very lightweight and carry well.
I've used this MidwayUSA Full Strut Turkey Vest with my chair. Especially when it's really hot. It only has 2 pot holder pockets but the vest only weighs 2.5 lbs. It's super light.

I like the looks of that plastic one but what about strength? And size? I ain't no lightweight! :funnyturkey:

I've got two browning strutter chairs. I can't sit on a pad for more than 30 min without my legs falling asleep. I've done multiple 3hr+ sits in this thing. Worth the extra weight if it keeps me there long enough to wait out a bird. I've tried cheaper ones but they don't hold up to my "husky" size of 300lbs+. Many times hunting out west I cant find a good tree to sit against and this allows me to still have a backrest setting up in some plum thickets or next to some big yuccas.
