Primos Gobbler vest Gen 2

[bigjames50]

Looking for opinions from anyone who has this vest. I'm thinking about retiring my Russell Super Elite since it's been to the seamstress several time in the last few years. Any info is appreciated.

I've also been looking into this vest. Hopefully some members can offer some insight on them

Just received this vest a couple of days ago after looking at one over the weekend.  I really like the layout and the mesh on a lot of the vest. Should be much cooler later in the season. Lots of pockets and seems to be stitched very well. I pulled hard on all the pot holders and box call holder to make sure the seams would hold. I tried the Primos rocker earlier this year and the pot call holders pulled off with no effort at all. These are all sewn better. I bought the xl/2xl and the vest fits me great, I prefer mine looser that a lot of people, plus I'm a big guy at 6'1 and 265 and big from the waist up. Plenty of room in this vest for me.

Nice big seat held with magnets, deep pockets with a lot of smaller pockets. Several mesh pockets on the inside and on the chest area of the vest. For 75 bucks, this vest is nice. I just got a satchel Glenda Green to use for quick hunts, but I plan to use this vest for morning hunts and longer hunts.

IMO, if it will hold up to abuse, then this will be a very good vest.

I wish someone would do a review video because I can't find any. Even the video from primos doesn't show much at all. You would think these Big companies putting out new vest every year or so would do a better job at showing us their product. JMO

I have used a first generation Primos Gobbler vest in MO Bottomland for the past 8 or ten years. I love the vest, quiet pockets, and seat that flips up to be held by a magnet. If mosquitos are bad I put a thermacell in the boxcall pouch. Looking at the new version, I like the little pockets for diaphrams I use often, but I think I'd rather have the gen 1 slate call pockets with flaps than the zippered ones on the gen2.
I love my botomlands; wonder why they chose greenleaf for the new one (Obsession would be better).

Marketing was probably better on the greenleaf.  Just a guess though

Just got mine today and I think it's worth the money. LOTS OF STORAGE and it's very dealers choice on how you want to set up the big pockets. Other than the external call pockets for pots and a box there is no set in stone way you have to put stuff. Which is nice in my opinion. Magnets for seat are real strong. Seat is kinda on the thin side but I'm also 220 pounds on a good day. I also got a medium/large and it's plenty big for 5'11 and 200 plus pounds.

I decided to go ahead and get one. Just came in last week. I think I'll be pleased with it. Everything is well thought out. Vest fits well and seems comfortable, I'm 6'1" around 225. I already loaded it everything I had from my old vest, and there is still plenty I room. I doubt I'll ever come close to filling it, but it is nice to have extra storage. Only 31 more days till I get to try it out for the Kentucky opener.
