I know what you mean, I love the Ol Tom/ Drake stuff but it is shiny. Yesterday I was at Academy and saw a turkey vest that, in my opinion, was about as close to the perfect layout that you can ask for. I walk over and it's only 60$ another awesome point. Then I start handling it and it sounds like you took two Walmart bags, filled them with tin foil, and started kneading them in your hands. It was made out of 100% polyester and the inside material was the same stuff they used to put in game bags on a vest. So it stayed there.

A few years ago, a friend gave me a vest that fit your description perfectly. It had a great camo pattern and had the right pockets in the right places without going overboard with them...and was really light-weight. Just what I wanted...until I put it on and started moving around in it. Whatever the material was (some sort of nylon/polyester, I think), it was so noisy that I have never been able to bring myself to wear it hunting. Too bad, because it is the perfect vest otherwise for the type of hunting I do.

My favorite takeaway from this whole thread is "cotton kills turkeys" LOL
Thanks for that :TooFunny:
