Stay away from the Tenzing vest. I'm 6'1 190, and I felt like I was swimming in it. Switched to the badlands vest and that fits much better.

Im 5' 9" 160. Ran the run and gun 200 last year I loved it but agree with you on the lack of space overall. I ordered a ol tom gunslinger few days ago and I seen it was osfm before I bought it but thought surely I'll be able to adjust it to fit me well. After getting on here and reading another forum I'm afraid I'm gonna get it and be totally disappointed with the adjustabliltiy on it and it's gonna be way to big. I've already found a tailer that can possibly modify it to fit my frame nice and tight like the run and gun. Hoping that works out before mid march cause the gunslinger pocket layout looks really fantastic for what I want.

KUIU has a vest on the market now, worth looking into.  Has some nice features!

It's only available to inner circle members at the moment. 277$ after shipping and tax but looks nice. I've been debating on wether to pull the trigger or not

Another vote for the badlands. Caught the bottomland one on clearance at Roger's sporting goods last year for under $100.

Thank you for the post.

I know the guy in that video!  Very good woodsman!  That looks like a vest I would be interested in, in the future.  Looks slim, and I like the idea of a decoy bag that seconds as a game bag.

Sitka and Kuiu both make good stuff...  Sometimes over-priced compared to similar clothing, sometimes you are getting what you pay for.
Did I do that?

Firstlite is also in the vest game now.

I think I heard Velcro on that kuiu track seat. Also those foot loops don't look like a quick setup. Could be wrong.

Plenty of good youth vests out there. And agree most vests are sized for massive people

I'm 5'8" and 240 on a slim day. And I wear a MEDIUM primos signature vest. Fortunately I was able to try it on in a store instead of ordering because there is no way I would have ordered a medium
