[Coop1082]

Here is a rough review of the new Nomad MG Turkey vest. If for some reason the video is grainy on YouTube for, shoot me a PM and I'll text you the video from my phone so the quality is better and you can get a better idea. Thanks guys.

Forgot to add if you just want still pictures of the vest or certain areas of it I can do that as well.

Great review

great review. It's beyond me why the manufactures rarely do a simple reviews like this.

[Coop1082]

I'm sure I missed touching on a few things that people would like to know. One I forgot to mention is the fit of the vest itself. For me it's perfect. I'm 6'2 190 so I'm fairly easy to fit but for the most part it seems like there is an abundance of adjustment if needed. Anything I missed and you would like to know, ask away!

Thanks for the review.  Hope to see one in person.  It is crazy that manufacturers cannot even post detailed photos of something they are selling.  Especially something like a vest with many different areas to it.

[Coop1082]

I agree. I actually feel like it's a disservice on this one. Pictures make it appear as though it's lacking storage space. Hopefully the video showed that you've got plenty of room with this vest. It's not overbearing but you've definitely got room to tote quite a bit along with you.

Thanks man for the review, I don't like the snap pot call either to me that's a deal breaker lol. Also doesn't look to have that much room in it I guess I am spoiled with my tatr2

It's definitley not the "roomiest" vest in existence but for my style of hunting (this is just me personally) it's more than enough. I have an issue with having to make sure every pocket in a vest is used and with the Ol' Tom I-Beam 2.0 I looked like I was going to diffuse a bomb instead of kill a turkey. 75% of what was in that vest was never used. I will say I wish the inside pockets were all a little deeper but I can't honestly think of anything I would take into the woods that was necessary for me that would need the extra size. And yes the pot call snap is frustrating lol. I'm hoping it breaks in and it appears as though it should with use.

If worse comes to worse on the snap, my wife is a fairly handy seamstress. I'll get her to make me a hook and string for it! Haha

It's Ok to leave an empty pocket you know...

Lol! I'm well aware tailfeathers! It's almost like a form of OCD. If I see an empty pocket I instantly have to find something to put in it. I don't why the heck I get that way about a empty pocket!

Excellent review Coop. I left the vest behind few years ago for a fanny pack with a shoulder harness, just got to carrying way too much stuff - 21 pockets in it and I had them stuffed. Fanny pack - paired a lot of it down to essentials.

Pot call pocket snap - take five minutes to sew a big button on the bottom and a strip of leather on the flap, just wrap that leather strip around the button 3 or 4 times. Lots of work arounds options, but to your point, should need a work around. 

Thanks for taking the time to post the review. This particular vest has me thinking of going back to one. What I miss about a vest is the padding on the back for leaning against a tree.

Thank you fellas for the positive feedback! I know it's not the most ideal review but as already mentioned it's rare that you see an actual video of a vest with calls, essentials, etc in the pockets. Your practically going in blind. I know this vest has a lot of "hype" surrounding it so I wanted everyone to get a fairly general idea of what they were diving into. Paboxcall, this vest actually saved me from a pack! For two years I've been lugging that Ol' Tom around and don't get me wrong I LOVE to haul calls into the woods. Unfortunately at some point enough is enough. This vest hit the nail on the head for me. Plenty of room for the call fanatic but not total overkill. Every pocket is "useful" and there isn't just random pockets, mesh, strings, tabs, etc just hanging all over the place!

Man Coop...You don't need to apologize for that review even a little! Fine review...You went over a lot of stuff that I had questions about and answered them completely. You should be pro staff for them!
