Looking for my first turkey vest

I'm looking to buy my first turkey vest this season.  I don't need one with a great seat since I always carry a turkey chair into the woods so I would most likely just remove the seat.  I just need one with good storage for calls and one that is going to hold up well. Looking to spend around $100 or less if possible.  I usually carry a couple pot calls and strikers, a box call, thermacell and a decoy or two so I need something with plenty of storage.

Everyone will have there preference, but I've found the old vests that were made in the US are better than the newer Chinese made stuff. They were designed by turkey hunters and the pockets etc are in the right locations and the material is quiet and quality. If you spend time looking online you can find Vintage Turkey vests in nearly new condition for a fraction of the Chinese vests. They will last longer and be of better quality, jmo
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?

Here is one possible suggestion: the Alps little bear pack w/ turkey accessory pack.

I use a turkey chair, and I take this off and lay it beside me when I set up - to access calls, water, etc. Sitting in the chair with no vest on is really, really comfortable.

Just an option to consider - I am VERY pleased with the system.

if you don't need the decoys try Glenda Green turkey tote, she is on here, very well made and will hold all the calls you need
