[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2586398, member: 95733"] Been using this for three seasons over sixty days of hunting public ground in two states. Held up to hard use and I'm 6'2" and 260ish pounds. Collapsible kick stand back frame is made out of very durable welded steel tubing. Unfortunately I can not seem to post a link to the vest for sale at Amazon Its called the Tidewee Turkey vest with seat and kick stand back rest. Seat is VARY comfortable and I weigh 260lbs. Available at Amazon. IMO/IME after 30+ years of turkey hunting and trying out over a half dozen top shelf turkey vests, absolutely NO such thing as THE perfect turkey vest. Having said that to date I find the Tidewee vest with built in back rest the best I've tried to date. I'm a bigger guy and have hip issues so comfort while seated and especially seated for long durations is a major consideration and this vests back support and seat were more than comfortable enough for my longest sit to date of over four hours. This vest allows me to instantly literally sit and set up absolutely anywhere I need to and has made the difference in filling my tag due to being able to set up where I had to but there were no location suitable trees to lean against and remain rock still on multiple roosted Toms and hens as well as a Tom I shocked gobbled while walking a fire lane when he was under 150 yards from me when he first gobbled and was coming in and there were no suitably located trees anywhere near me and I had to literally drop right then in the brush on the lanes edge and and he popped out of the brush onto the fire lane just out of range and I spent the next 30 minuets working him into range. No way I could have remained that still without the vests built in back rest. Pretty good all around vest enough external and internal pockets to carry the fallowing: Two pot calls One paddle call One owl hooter call One MD/SM Tupperware container of four back up mouth calls One SM TW/container of three primary mouth calls One 4.75" Buck Sentry FB knife Two small AAA flashlights One SM head lamp Face mask Gloves SM pump bottle Bug spray Fiskers pruning shears SM folding wood saw Back up Compass Three spare 12ga 3.5" shells Two water bottles Trail making ribbon One-Two collapsible foam hen decoys One-two decoy stakes Snacks or sandwich. MIsc items like butt/hand wipes glasses/optics wipes gutting gloves and permit and transport tag Seen very had use for three seasons and are satisfied enough that I have no intentions on considering or even looking for a new vest.
