Yeah, I'm not entirely satisfied with it. It's okay. But I'm glad I didn't spend more on it.

For warm weather I bought an Alps Long Spur vest - the version without the seat. I added my own seat to it. It's really just a webgear vest with a fanny pack and front call cases. I used it this fall over a heavy coat. I used it last sring, in May, when it was hot. It's much lighter than my other full turkey vests. I'll probably just stick with it. I can get water, snacks and all y calls in it, and still have room to zip up my pohone, wallet and keys.

To the vest users...
Do you use the back pack portion? (if so equipped)

I think reaching behind there is trickier than watching my wife reach around to unhook her bra....

I do. On the vest above, the seat you see didn't come with the vest. I bought it at Walmart and just strap it on and let it hang. I don't really mind letting the seat hang behind my legs.

I have a Mossy Oak Longbeard Elite, vest, too. It has a seat that is held up by a couple of straps and clips. It's not the easiest vest to drop the seat on while I'm wearing it, but its doable. Once I'm in the woods and its down, it stays down till I'm done hunting. I like this because the sides are open and it vents well in hot weather.

The best designed vest I have, or have ever had, is the Will Primos Signature vest. The seat is held up with a long, strong magnet. It's easy to put up and down while I've got the vest on, and the magnet is strong enough that it has never been knocked down going through brush. It's an outstanding, albeit expensive, vest.
