There is another thread with quite a few comments that was about new vests a year or so ago. I hunted mine for second season. Love the water bladder holder (though could use a better system to secure it), plenty of pockets for the worst of us 'mules.' The striker pockets in front are no good, the magnets don't hold striker in, and any decent sized striker either won't fit or works out. Some of the higher pockets, to me, are ill placed for manipulating a gun. I had one pocket blow stitches out and had to take it in to local place to get it repaired. But overall satisfied and would recommend it.
