Anybody know anything about this vest other than the price is ridiculous? My uncle was asking about it today but I didn't have any info for him.
To much $. Ol tom for me

Looks to me like it would be worth every penny, but the not the $199 in front of the 99 pennies.
I'll know more in a couple of days even though I doubt I'll ever shell out $200 for a vest. I love my Limb Hanger vest too much.
On my way to the Harrisburg Hunting Show I'll stop & check it out. I like to throw on other vest just to see how their features fit my needs.
The cool kids will by it because it is UA.

yup, that's exactly what they were thinking when they put the $199 price tag on it :icon_thumright:
It'll be 49.95 at the UA outlet down the road before too long...
I dont think a turkey hunter even had part in designing this vest!! I dont like the design at all, wouldnt hold half my stuff. Ill stick with my vest and gobbler lounger. Would love to have UA vest, but not that design and not for that crazy price!
For $200 it better come with a turkey in it. Thats just nuts. If turkey vests get that expensive, I will just go back to using my pockets.....
Check out the Super Elite lll Vest ! On sale @ wing Supply for 34.00 ! Great Vest !
vaturkey :newmascot:
Not much of an under armour fan most of its over priced. This doesn't look that great for $199
Looked like it was designed buy a committee of tennis players, Tactical Tatter II for me.
Tee shirt = 10.00-15.00....put a big X and a label on it & becomes a 60.00 shirt. I know some folks swear by the Under Armour products and to each his own...but I think all the Under Armour stuff is WAAAY over priced.
To much for me! I must draw a line on a vest that expensive....especially since I know and have used great vests much much lower in cost!
God Bless
at that price ill stick with my remington vest from walmart
guys that's the doctor/lawyer/corp CEO turkey hunter vest lol

If it came with a squealing hen call it might be worth it.
I really like Under Armour for what they started doing and do well, UNDERwear. Other than that, I don't have much use for their overpriced trinkets.
the vest is a joke imo. its way over prices and doesn't look like it hold hardly anything. I would tell anyone that asked me to stay away from it far far away from it.

I will agree, there. For hot weather turkey hunting, their cool gear sock and underwear are pretty awesome.

I haven't put my hands on one yet so I may be speaking too soon. But if the vest was laid out well and had some turkey hunting thought put into it I wouldn't mind dropping $200. Turkey hunting is my absolute passion. . . . that is what I work to buy, turkey hunting stuff. But, looking at the vest. . . like already mentioned, it doesn't look like a turkey hunter had anything to do with this. I'll hold onto the Tater II.

cove....turkey hunting is my passion also...I Love it!!! I truly believe there is no one around that loves it more then me....maybe some that equal the passion such as yourself. But I kinda view the $200 for a vest thing a little different. I can use all that on some costume calls, DSD decoys, chokes, and shells etc. Just to me I think to fuel my addiction as I must I personally would do better spending it that way!! I know some see it as a bad addiction but as you know....its all good!!!! Plus I have an awesome Elite III vest on the way to replace my very old Elite vest I have now....for around $50 I got a better from what I'm seeing vest. At the least and I don't think it would be its equal to the $200 UA vest.
God Bless
I can get what you're saying, but I'm sure not gonna knock someone who shells out 200 for a vest. If it was for a pair of jeans, fancy dinner or jewelry I'd say you're off your rocker . . . but for something turkey hunting and camouflage neh . . . . lol :toothy9:

Cove buddy I agree with ya I'm not going to knock anyone that does either....but I would rather show some bling in the call department etc. But that's me.....
God bless buddy!

Amazing what some people will pay for the UA name.
Pick this vest up and grab you one of those $200 woodhaven calls and your good to go
I've never been real impressed with UA's hunting jackets, pants, etc, but their base layers are worth every penny, IMO.
Though to get past that price. I am sure it's a very comfortable and light weight vest but $200 is steep. I thought I was crazy when I spent $150 for my ol Tom vest.

Back panel doubles as retractable seat
It appears that you can have a back rest OR a seat, but not both at the same time.
And in order to switch from one to the other, you have to take the vest off.
I think I'll pass.
I've never seen one, barely even seen it in print, but I am curious, how many people who are talking about the price alone shoot Nitro turkey shells, or a fancy semiautomatic turkey gun? Its all relative, and we all chose to spend our money on something else. In the grand scheme of things, if it fits what you're looking for, $200 is a drop in a bucket. Heck, I'll spend more than that on licenses alone.
I paid less for some good turkey guns.
under armour is for people who want to look cool with the logo to be honest it is not comfortable to me at all I hunt not into lookin like a billboard
Seems like a lot of strong opinions here. I think we have enough in common here that we don't need to look down our noses at people because of the brand of hunting gear they buy! I don't own one of these vests and I don't even like the thing, but I don't feel like judging those that do. I do have some Under Armor gear and I bought it because it is well made, wicks away sweat and doesn't stay wet, plus it lasts a long time without fading. Why is that such a problem for some of you guys? I can understand if you think it's too high priced, but that doesn't mean you need to rip on the folks that feel it's worth the money. We have enough issues dividing our country right now, hunting gear shouldn't be one of them.
If you want something to wick try some mernio wool..You can think me later,nothing wrong with UA other then it's over priced stuff that don't do what it should..My clothes is full of it.
This is UA first year making a turkey vest..So maybe in 3 years they will have the bugs worked out of it and have it made like a vest should be..For a turkey hunter.
There cold weather whitetail gear has came a long ways.The base and stuff like that they make is nothing more then a dirt rag,I learned the hard way.

No Judgement here Busta....but I agree no judgement should be made. But in my opinion and for me only its over priced for a vest and for me and me only I would rather so some bling in the call department....its what I love and it helps my addiction! There is a good chance some of the people I'll be taking this year and guiding will have one....I sure ain't going to kick them out! This sport or in my case addiction is just as expensive as you make it. I didn't need one thing this year but here I sit with a new vest (I did kinda need that) a new choke, shells, calls, a new custom friction call on the way and good chances I'm not done yet. I love it...and as long as it doesn't interfere with my obligations to my family and most of all my Lord and Savior its all good!!! Good reminder though Busta!
God Bless
I will buy it on clearance like I get all my UA gear. It is high but all I have used is high quality.
