Whats your favorite upland vest? I have just been using an old Columbia one that my dad had and really like it, but was wondering what everyones opinions were.

I have a Columbia vest with the shell tubes. I really like it. I also like the pockets for carrying extra items like a cell phone and camera. A place for a water bottle would be nice. I usually just put a water bottle in the game pouch. I may get a new one with the pocket for the E-collar transmitter. For early season, I would like either a mesh or strap style vest. The Columbia gets pretty warm during early season.

I hunt with a MAd Dog . It is a half vest with wide straps for support. MUch cooler during dove season and I just put a orange vest over it for quail.

I have had a bunch of vests, but the one I will stay with is a Quilomene.

I have been using a strap type vest that I got from Cabela's for the last ten years. Today I got a new Filson strap vest to replace it next season.

I use an HS Strut turkey strap vest that I picked up on sale for $15. It has lots of pockets and plenty of room. I use it for everything rabbits, dove, quail, rattlesnakes,etc (everything but turkey). Not very traditional but it works.

The one I am currently wearing. I bought it at Wal-Mart. Works great for me.

I currently use a Boyt vest with a stitched in velcro remote transmitter holder. I have had it for 4 years now and it is just starting to show wear.

When the Boyt gives out I will probably buy a Filson. The Filson upland jacket I have will hopefully last me at least 30 years. I'm really impressed with the Filson tin cloth fabric.
