Title: Bob Dixon Vest
Post by: Bgrinds1 on February 26, 2024, 09:24:04 PM
I am probably one of many, but I am looking for a Dixon vest. I have been searching for a while and would mean a lot to be able to get one to be able to pass down to my daughter. If anyone has any leads or knows anyone that would let go of one please shoot me a message! Good luck to everyone this season!

You are going to have to pay a chunk for one if you find one.

Yea, the pricing has gone through the roof. I think the Fox vest is just as good, if not better for a lot less money, at least for now........

I bet your daughter would love any vest that was yours you could pass on to her. Don't get caught up in the limited vest craze. It's doesn't have a thing to do with hunting-killing turkeys. It's a marketing thing plain and simple.  Spend that money making memories with her.

You're looking at $3500-4000 min if you're lucky. Buy a vest you like and make memories in it and pass it down, or buy a fox vest much cheaper and have some collectibility in the future.

I have both and highly prefer the Dixon for many reasons.

Both great vests. I sold my Dixon because on long hunts, the Claw Slings "dug in" and we're a bit uncomfortable with light clothing on. Great vest for sure......
