Just my opinion, but it seems quite a bit overpriced for what it is.  Seems a lot like an Ol'Tom strap vest...which you can get way cheaper.

+1... plus the fit is huge, just like 90% of the vests out there. Unless your 250lbs +.. or just like a real loose vest.. pass.

If it's like everything else Banded makes, it will be overpriced and of poor quality materials that don't last  under normal use.

I thought the Banded breathable waders were all the rage for duck hunters. 

Did they turn out to be trash?

I just bought a used banded bottomland beanie off of eBay and I'm pretty disappointed with it.

I sort of figured.  I got the New Alps Super Elite and it sucks.  The seat cushion is nothing like the old one.  That's the same problem I had with the Nomad vest. 

Guess I'll get the zipper fixed on my 8 yr old Super Elite and roll with it.

Absolute garbage...they were the best thing since neoprene hit the market for a hunt of two, then leaks everywhere.  And this is speaking from dozens of SE Arkansas public land duck hunter.  There ain't a single set of breathable waders I'll purchase now...but once someone figures out the seams, they'll be awesome.
