    Default Turkey vest

    I need a new hunting vest. I'm trying my best to buy as little as possible from "Made in China". Recommendations, please.

    I think mossy oak and Mack’s have sales running right now.

    Harell&Sons makes an array of vests that would work, I have thought about their strap vest but have to configure a seat cushion, if ya need one.

    Filson mesh game bag vest. Has pals webbing on the back, you can rig up a seat with a few tri-glides and some webbing. Take a throwable boat cushion and cut the throw handle down the middle and attach the webbing via fast clips to the back- voila!

    I’m currently using an old MossyOak vest that I have cut 90% of the crap off and rebuilt. Stuff off the rack these days is junk!!

    I don’t know where they are made but those Nomad vests look pretty good to me. Seem to be well thought out. I’m near Greenville and have a barely used cabelas vest I’d sell cheap. I use an older vest I’ve had for years. Pm me if interested.

    Don’t know where it is made, probably China, but the new Ol Tom vest looks real good. Very light and laid out well.

    Ms. Glenda Green makes these cool bags, 100% made in the USA... if you carry decoys then it may not be for you. I've been using the minimalist version for the last two seasons and am very pleased, you can fit more than you need in it, tie a seat cushion to it and you're good to go.

    Is Tenzing made in USA? China? That turkey recliner looks pretty spiffy. Maybe it’ll have closures that actually work and last.

    I tried to buy the Filson but they're not shipping at the moment. The rest of the crap is made in China. F@#k China.

    I didn't. The strap vest looks just like the Filson. I'll call them.
