Wow! This thing is bad to the bone. Love it. Course I haven't taken it to the woods yet. I agonized between this one and another at academy (both 50%). The other one had more features and pockets but was just too over engineered, and not and functional if that makes sense. This one is way easier to use and way less bulky.
I have had one for a couple of years. the more I have hunted with it the more I want to just leave it in the woods. I finally killed my first turkey last weekend and couldn't even get it in my vest. Very disappointing. I am now looking at the mossy oak super elite 3 or the UA turkey trax vest.
Going on season 4 with mine. I really like it. Not bulky like others and easily accessible.

Guy I hunt with just put his out to pasture after about 5 seasons great seat but no storage for decoys or turkey. He bought a much cheaper Red Head vest that works very well.
I love my Ole Tom Vest as well--best vest I have ever had.
Ol Tom strap vests are the way to go for the hunter that doesn't want a ton of bulk or needs to carry 30 lbs of junk...
If you need to carry every turkey gadget ever made.. there are probably some better options.
Drake Waterfowls Ol'Tom turkey line is some of the best gear in the industry. Very glad to hear you are satisfied with your purchase.

I have the I beam. There's a few things that are not great. Seat magnet is terrible, straps don't stay adjusted. Other than that I think there's plenty of room for a couple feather flex dekes (Which I don't use anymore). I have no desire to stuff a dead turkey in it so that's not an issue. Overall its a good vest and you'll probably like it
I have the Mossy Oak Limbhanger...Love it...Has a place for everyhting and then some..Very sturdy..its been through alot in a few years..Dont think they make it anymore
I've had my "I" beam one for 3 years now. I agree with snoodsniper, the seat magnets are very weak. After opening week here in Kansas I got tired of the magnets letting the seat fall and go "thunkity, thunk, thunk" against the back of my legs in heavy brush so I retired it for now. That's the only fault I can find. Lots of room for everything and nice thick comfortable seat. I may see about using some paracord to help the magnets hold.
