I purchased the HSS vest for $129 last year and really, really like it's features. Plenty of storage pockets. Mesh fabric for the warmer hunts. Buckles are simple and quiet. No complaints.

I also purchased the $75 vest for my son. Same safety features, but a little less storage and not the mesh fabric! He doesn't carry as much crap as I do, so he didn't have a need for the additonal pocket storage that I do.

I consider both vests to be right up there with some of the better purchases I made last year!
