Title: tactical tatr vests
Post by: fountain2 on February 16, 2014, 08:45:48 PM
OK..for those that have them or have had them on..which model do you like best?  I'm guessing most are using the t.t.2.  I've looked on cabelas site after hearing so much about them now but its hard to tell about them from their pics.  Very tempted to give one a go

Tried on a friends TT 2 last week ....I've hunted a Super Elite III for the past 6-7 years and probably this year too....I WILL buy a TT 2 ASAP!!!

I have the original tatr. I love it. The flip down- flip up seat is awesome. Plenty of pockets and very comfortable with the spine pad. Just my .02 worth.

I have the original. Don't use the seat, I tote a lounger.

My favorite feature is the horizontal pocket on the lower back. It's great for a small first aid/survival kit, 2 extra water bottles, a turkey tote, and some snacks.

Just watched some videos on cabelas about them and they look sweet!

I have the tactical tat'r.  I never tried the 2 and have not seen it in person.

What I like about the one I have:  removable game pouch (I wash mine after every successful hunt),  the back pocket with bungee like mentioned,  and the side adjustments for better fit (not sure if the newer model has this).

What I like about the newer version:  gps pocket,  water bottle pocket, airflow channels (the original foam can get hot) and a speed seat.

To compromise I will be trying to Jerry rig a water bottle pocket to my side adjustment straps.

I ordered both from Cabela's since, like you, hard to tell from pics..was gonna give the III to my Dad, but didnt like it...returned it and kept the II...much better quality in my opinion

Bought a 2 yesterday in store.  $119 less 20 % discount less $10 text message discount.  $88 inc. tax.  Would change 1 or 2 things, but overall, good vest.  Now I have to find where I stored my stuff.

Most comfortable seat on the market...that's a good deal...may I ask which store?  Gonna get another one for my Dad..he wants one to use for deer hunting this fall..at his age his knees hurt and  pains to climb a ladderstand

Best Vest I've found.  No it's not perfect but it's close, but like I said it's the best I've found and if I needed a new vest I would buy it again.

I used the 2 for a season and out of the 5 vests I have had it was my favorite. Just wish they had bottomland camo though.

The mesh water bottle pocket, I put a waterbottle in the game sack in the back of the vest, I've had 4 super elites and this is my first year with the TT2, it's nasty and I love it, that speedseat is the cats behind.

Gonzalez, LA.  Look for the 20% sign on the rack and the $10 text discount code on the door as you enter the store.
