Which one and y u like it?

I personally like the super elite 3 vest I have had a similar ol Tom vest in the past and I just like the way the se3 fits with the mesh vest material instead of the almost backpack type staps of the ol Tom.

super elite 3.  plenty of support, thick pad, and more pockets then you know what to do with.

Super Elite 3. Best vest on the market.

OL Tom .  Great storage and back padding makes long sits almost pleasant.

Super Elite III hands down.

Super Elite III hands down.

What he said 

No brainer.  Buddy tossed his OT vest in the trash last year, staps drove him nuts.

Check out Wing Supply to see what they have left on the SE III, I just got a Trek-Lite one for $31, but they only have so many patterns and sizes left...

I love my Super Elite III, its the only vest I've hunted in that I'm not constantly thinking of things I would change.

I tried an Ol Tom vest on at a store once and the pocket layout just didnt seem very user friendly to me.

I prefer strap vest, so I'd say neither, but out of the two the super elite to me is a better built vest. I liked all my old super elites. They are built tougher than an OL Tom. You rip that OL Tom to shreads in our woods.

I have been using the ol tom for a couple of years but picked up a super elite III from wing supply around Christmas. My gear has been moved from the ol tom to super elite for this season. My son has been handed down the ol tom. Super elite III hands down!

Does anyone sell the Super Elite III still?

Thanks I saw those already and all that is available is XL/2XL.  Little too big for me, I've looked everywhere for the M/L and cannot find them.  Must be sold out.

Is the hybrid the same thing as the regular one, just with removable sleeves?  Same pockets and other features?

Yes I have the hybrid vest, and its nice for those cool morning! The best thing is when it warms up you can loose the sleeves.

Thanks just got one from wing supply in M/L.  Don't really care for the sleeves so hopefully the zippers don't get in the way.

With my luck mossy oak will have somebody making the super elites and limbhangers next week.  Oh well can't beat the price I got it for!  Thank y'all for the info.
