dicks has them for 40 -50 bucks or so. i have not seen anything bad with it yet. it is made by field and stream so it has got to be good. other wise cabelas has some nice ones. the guy who i go with has one from there and he loves it.

Make sure it has a good strap across the shoulders and chest. Otherwise, the shoulder straps will continually slip off your shoulders while moving. Check the flip down seat cushion for ease of use and make sure it has a decent pouch in the back for carrying a decoy and poncho. Lots of pockets up front and a couple of small shoulder pockets. Good luck with your choice.

I personally don't like vests. I use a run and gun belt by beard buster- cabelas has them and they are great.

I'm not afraid to spend a buck or two for my hunting addiction but I don't have any use for those turkey vests. For all my hunting ventures I wear outfits with lots of pockets and carry a backpack.

I attach one of those foam seat pads to my backback...works great for me.

I'd suggest one with a big thick (the thicker the better) seat cusion and lots of pockets.

Went with a Primos, thanks for the replies
You should be very happy with that Primos vest. If anyone else is in the market for a vest- look at the Tat'r line from Cabela's. I bought one for a gift for a cousin and was impressed. The seat is awesome and it has gear specific pockets and open mesh on the inside so you can see what you're digging for. The Ol' Tom vests are also very nice.
