Title: Tenzing Turkey Vest
Post by: Deputy 14 on February 19, 2014, 11:43:59 PM
Anyone used one?  These things look freakin sweet but I'm not sure I could ever justify the price tag.

There is no turkey vest on this planet worth $300. That is absolutely insane.

That is funny! I was thinking it looked like a extraction seat from a F-16 jet!

If I had a spare $317.99, I'd buy one here in Michigan. The legs, if they worked, are pretty nifty.

I wish them the best selling one. Just as I wish Wood Haven the best selling their $150 pot calls. I'll put my money in ammo.

It does look pretty awesome!  I would be interested in how the self supported seat is compared to the kickstand vest from Cabelas.

I wonder what else it does besides being a turkey vest?

I tried one on at the NWTF convention last weekend and the magnet in the seat was not even strong enough to keep it attached to the back of the vest!  The guy said "there is a buckle you can use as well to keep it attached".  I said then why even put the cheap weak magnet in there?
I didn't  see $300 worth of vest in my personal opinion.

I think I'll stick with my tactical tater that I bought from HookedSpur last year for $60. It does everything I need a vest to do and I've got $240 to do other things.

Sooner or later reality has to catch up with all the super hi priced turkey gear!!

I'd buy the tactical tat'r kick stand before I bought that thing! Heck you could buy 2 for that kinda money! :toothy9:

There must not be many trees where you guys hunt. Why not just carry your lazy boy with you? Just don't see the reason for a vest with aluminum frames. Vests are moving in the wrong direction in my opinion. Why would you want to prop yourself up somewhere with no back stop or no cover? Must be my old school mentality at work again. I can't imagine whirling that metal work around the woods trying to be stealthful. You can have it!

You could buy a Under Armor and save 100.00. I think I'll make a cot/chair/vest and sell it for 400.00. :TooFunny:

Now let me say I wouldn't ever pay that for a vest.  Don't even use a vest 95% of the time.  But I do set up in my Gobbler Lounger, in low cover, all the time, where a tree ain't handy.

Not sure this is going to be the hit they thought it would.
After destroying one of their backpacks with minimal use I can't imagine this thing holding up to any kind of abuse especially considering the magnet comment from above. Oh well, someone will like it I imagine.

I looked at them at the convention and I will take my Elite3 over it all day! Nice concept, but not enough space and the back pack on the back of the vest MIGHT HOLD A JENNY. Let alone a big gobbler. Don't waste your 300 bucks
