I can't say I'd choose anything on your list, all of them seen overpriced and a little hokey to me.

I will second the Super Elite III (hard to find, Ol Tom Cotton Full vest is a virtual clone) and the Cabelas Tat'R vests. I much prefer the Tat'R 2 to the Tat'R 3, I just think it is much better constructed.

Good luck finding a SE3, wanted to get the FIL a new one for 12/25. Could not find one anywhere. Ended up getting him a Primos, and what a POS it is...
Don't gobble at me...

My Super Elite III is way better then my Primos vest. The zipper broke on the Primos before I even got it out into the field. With that said, I want to try the Cabelas Tactical Tater II. Might get one just for kicks before the season...

I am going to bag my first Turkey this spring if it is the last thing I do!

Works great for me too.  Had one for the last 3 seasons.

How about making you're own, I'm not a vest wearing type guy, and being new to gobbler hunting I've been thinking about making my own with pockets were I'd like them to be, something I want, not what somebody else thinks I need!

Is the super elite 3 a vest built into a shirt? Never seen one

Kevin that teal diaphragm in the 2nd picture sure looks familiar.

I'm still wearing an ancient vest that I've almost wore down to nothing.  I believe it's the original Super Elite.  I have tried on the SE 3 but don't care for the sizing range they use (something like S/M and L/ XL).  Last time I tried them on, one was too small and the other too large.

I have considered the Tactical Tat'rs but been too tight to buy one (it's my #1 choice).   I don't care for the Old Tom vests, at least none that I've tried.  The Quaker Boy Vestablind is goofy ( I can't believe they are still making them).  I've not looked at the Under Armor but the brand in general turns me off.

I'd say the SE 3 or one of the Tactical Tat'rs depending on budget and how they fit.

kevin2

yep, same exact problem. I actually bought both sizes! End up wearing the l/xl and giving the kids the s/m to wear!
