Title: Vest recommendation for minimal gear
Post by: scottprice on April 23, 2022, 09:55:41 PM
I carry a ~9" box call, 3 diaphragms, a thermacell and a crow call...I definitely want a good seat. what do you guys recommend?

I hunt nearly every day of our one month season so durability is a must

I regrettably sold my russel super elite 3...

I've had good results so far this year with my new ol Tom gunslinger .  It's light weight and pocket configuration is nice .  Seems to be holding up well also .

The knight and hale run and gun vest is nice. Usually can find them on sale too.

I've tried almost every lightweight vest ever made and have settled on the Cabelas Speed Seat hip belt/seat pad system.  All other vests just add heat that I cannot take during most of our season, and I use a paracord turkey tote to carry out the bird.

if that is truly all that you carry, you probably need cargo pants, a seat cushion on a strap, and a box call holster.  not a vest. a vest will have a lot of wasted real estate with empty pockets.

I'm looking at those chest "rigs" too, like the one hunters specialties makes

Cabelas Speed Seat. More than adequate for the gear you carry and Avery comfortable cushion. I really like mine.
