Need help choosing a new vest. Have been using Bob Dixon for years and just want something a little less bulky.
Looking at Ol Tom, Sitka, Knight & Hale 300. Any thoughs?

Wish I had my Dixon back. I did replace it with a Fox Vest, but that Dixon sure was fine. You have many options, and will get good feedback here. I like the Alps Pro Impact. Real good seat for sure.

ol tom makes a nice light weight vest. if you like dixon layout checkout those nomad mg. light and similar limbhanger/dixon layout


ill beat the rest of them to the punch.. if the dixon is for sale let me know! lol

I really like my knight and hale run n gun 200. But I saw the blocker outdoors strap vest that is new this year and it caught my eye.

Absolutely LOVE my tidewe vest with the kick stand attachment. Has made a huge difference for me. I rarely hunt a lone and most of the time I am putting newbiews or others on a bird and I want them to be as comfortable as possible so they dont move every couple of mins so i give them the tree for the back rest and I prop my kick stand out and sit right next to em. Use to do the same thing but carry in the primos low profile chair but between carrying that and the decoy and gun I couldnt walk ten yards without dropping stuff. I even now have more confidence in setting up in areas I know the birds like to strut but dont have any good trees or lay downs to lean against cause I have basically a chair attached to my body. And it has way more pockets then youll ever need!

I got a new grounded 2.0 vest for the season and loaded out ready to hunt (minus 3 liters of water) it weighs 6 lbs. I don't carry much but it's a big difference from an alps or Fox vest I've used in years past.

I switched to a new vest last year. I bought an Ol Tom gunslinger and really like it.

I also bought an Old Tom Gunslinger and like it.  Very light weight.  Love the straps, wish it was a little tighter on the fit.  Pockets well place and will carry plenty of stuff including 4 pot calls.  Magnet on the seat seems to be pretty solid.
